How do I setup the Altivar Process Drive to communicate over Ethernet IP?

• Download and import Ethernet IP EDS files
  •  
  • ATV600
    Ethernet v1.8 - VW3A3720 & VW3A3721: https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/download/document/Ethernet_EDS_VW3A3720_V1_8/
  •  
  • ATV900
    Ethernet Embedded: https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/download/document/ATV900_Ethernet_Embedded_EDS/

• What assemblies are you working with?
•  
• Drive should be setup for proper assemblies to match PLC
  • Assemblies must be configured using SoMove ONLY.
    • To download SoMove
      • FA283180:https://www.schneider-electric.us/en/faqs/FA283180/
  •  
  • Compatible assemblies with the Process Drive are listed below:
    • Communication Scanner Assemblies (Default)
      • 100 and 101
        • (Input and Output Assemblies)
        • Works with IO Profile.
    •  
    • ​Other Drive Assemblies
      • 20: Basic speed control output
      • 21: Extended speed control output
      • 70: Basic speed control input
      • 71: Extended speed control input
        • When using assemblies 21 and 71 you must follow exact settings in the Command and Reference Menu or else EPF2 fault will appear on the drive
          103 and 104 - Allen Bradley Assemblies are not available on the Process Drive.
        • Do not work with IO Profile.
  •  
  • Once assemblies are configured correctly in PLC then proceed with drive settings.

Basic Settings

- Programming on the Drive

• Program Communication Settings:
  • [Communication] [Comm Parameters] [Eth Module Config]
    • IP Assignment Mode
      • Set to Fixed
    • IP Address
    • Subnet Mask
    • Gateway Address

• Program Command Settings:
  • [Complete settings] [Command and Reference]
    • ​For command speed from Network, program:
      • [Ref Freq 1 Config] Fr1 - Set to [Com. Module] nEt (for ATV900 Set to [Embedded
        Ethernet] Eth)
      • [Ref 1B switching] rCb - Set to [Ref Freq Channel 1] Fr1
      • [Control Mode] CHCF - Set to [Not separ.] SIM
    • ​​Video: Setting an Auto/Manual or Reference Switching on the Altivar Process Drives
      • https://www.schneider-electric.us/en/en/faqs/content/?id=FA294131

• Powercycle the drive

​- Programming on SoMove

• [Parameters List] [Fieldbus] [Slot A - Modbus TCP/EthernetIP]
  • Configure Ethernet Protocol
    • Set to Ethernet/IP
  • Configure drive for correct assemblies
    • ​Configure Drive Input/Output Data tables

• Communicate with the Drive
  • Sending a command to the drive
  • Using IO Profile
    • Only works with Assemblies 100 and 101
    • [Complete Settings] [Command and Reference] [Control Mode] - Set to IO
    • Command Word - Register 8501
      Speed Reference Word - Registers 8502 (Hz) and 8602 (rpm)
    • 16 bit word (Bit 0, 1, 2..... 15)
    • Start/Stop must turn on bit 0
      • Write a 1 to start
      • Write a 0 to stop
    • Bit 1 to 15 are assignable like logic inputs
      • Example: To assign a fault reset to bit 2 - [Fault reset] - Set to C302 (Reference Programming manual for more details)

• Using CIA402 (DriveCom Profile)
  • Works with other assemblies
  • [Complete Settings] [Command and Reference] [Control Mode] to [Not separ.] or [Separate]
  • Command Word - 8501
    Speed Reference Word - 8502 (Hz) and 8602 (rpm)
  • No 16 bit word
  • Start/Stop
    • Sequence of values must be written to the drive
    • 6, 7 and 15
    • Toggle between 7 and 15 to start and stop
