1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose of the Manual

This manual explains how to use the Add-On Instruction
(AOI) software to integrate a frequency converter and the

VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121 into the Logix5000 control
systems (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and FlexLogix).

This operating guide is intended for use by
personnel. Users are assumed to be familiar with:

•

NOTICE

This version of the AOI supports version 20.0 or later of
the programming tool RSLogix 5000. Earlier versions of
RSLogix do not support the Danfoss EDS le and require
additional set-up of the module conguration.

VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark.
EtherNet/IP™ is a trademark of ODVA, Inc.

time. Unintended start during programming, service, or
repair work can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage. The motor can start with an external
switch, a eldbus command, an input reference signal
from the LCP or LOP, via remote operation using MCT 10
Set-up Software, or after a cleared fault condition.

To prevent unintended motor start:

Press [O/Reset] on the LCP before

•

programming parameters.

Disconnect the frequency converter from the

•

mains.

Completely wire and assemble the frequency

•

converter, motor, and any driven equipment
before connecting the frequency converter to
AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing.

1. When the frequency converter is commissioned,
set parameter 0-03 Regional Settings before any
other changes are made to the frequency
converter via the Main Menu.

2. Press [Quick Menu] and select Q2 Quick set-up to
enter the motor data into the frequency
converter. The quick set-up can be done now or
at a later time. To ensure proper operation, it
must be done before running the motor.

3. Verify the settings of parameter 8-01 Control Site
and parameter 8-02 Control Word Source to ensure
that the PLC can control the frequency converter.

When parameter 8-01 Control Site is set to [0] Digital and
ctrl. word, a connection between terminal 12/13 and
terminal 27 is required to control the motor.

4. The default setting of the frequency converter
allows the frequency converter to continue
operation if the communication is lost to the PLC.
If this operation is not wanted, change
parameter 8-04 Control Word Timeout Function via
the Main Menu.

5. The Add-On Instruction requires that

parameter 8-10 Control Word

Prole is set to [0] FC

Prole. If parameter 8-10 Control Word Prole is set

to [5] ODVA, it leads to malfunction of the AOI.
Verify that parameter 8-10 Control Word Prole is

set correctly via the Main Menu. See VLT

®

EtherNet/IP MCA 121 Programming Guide for more
information.

6. Congure the IP settings of the frequency
converter by setting:

6a Parameter 12-00 IP Address Assignment.

6b Parameter 12-01 IP Address.

6c Parameter 12-02 Subnet Mask.

If the IP settings are set via a DIP switch, BOOTP,

or DHCP server, see the VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121
Programming Guide for more information.

5 Setting up the Add-On Instruction

The Danfoss Add-On Instruction can be copied to the PLC’s
rung.

Keep the new tag in the controller scope of the PLC to
have the status of the frequency converter available in the
entire project.

1. Open the Add-On Instruction folder.

2. Drag and drop the VLT AOI into a rung in the
programming window.

When the AOI has been placed, the GUI looks as in

55

Illustration 5.1.

4. Insert a name for the frequency converter to be
controlled (for example VLT_1) in the Name eld.

5. Click Create.

This generates a list of tags for this AOI. The tags
generated look as in Illustration 5.3.

Illustration 5.1 VLT Add-On Instruction

3. Select the eld Danfoss_FC_Series in AOI, right­click, and select New Tag...

The New Tag window appears, see Illustration 5.2.

Illustration 5.3 Tag List

Name Type Description

EnableIn Boolean Activates the AOI if set to true (1).

Run Boolean Set to true (1): Starts the motor.

Reverse Boolean Set to false (0): Sets the motor direction to

clockwise (CW).

Set to true (1): Reverses the motor direction

to counterclockwise (CCW). If the motor has

to run in CCW, set parameter 4-10 Motor

Speed Direction to [2] Both directions.

Reset Boolean In transition from 0 to 1, a fault trip can be

reset.

MRV Real Main reference value: Speed setpoint in % of

nominal motor speed.

Setting up the Add-On Instr... Operating Guide

Name Type Description

Ready Boolean If true (1): The motor can be started.

If false (0): The frequency converter has a

local stop signal activated (for example LCP

stop, terminal 27=0), or an alarm that

prevents the frequency converter from being

ready.

Running Boolean If true (1): The motor is energized.

Warning Boolean If true (1): The frequency converter has an

active warning.

Alarm Boolean If true (1): The frequency converter has an

active alarm.

MAV Real Main actual value: Actual motor speed in % of

nominal motor speed.

Current Real Motor current in Amps.

Table 5.2 Functions of Output Tags

By double-clicking the eld DriveIn of the VLT AOI in the
PLC’s rung, the corresponding input tags (in the controller
scope of the PLC) appear as in Illustration 5.4. From the
drop-down list, select the input tag that corresponds to
the actual frequency converter (for example FC302:I1.Data).

5 5

Illustration 5.4 Selecting an Input Tag

New tags can be created by right-clicking in any eld and
selecting New Tag. The same procedure must be done with
the DriveOut eld to control the frequency converter (for
example FC302:O1.Data).

The frequency converter can now be controlled by just
calling the AOI, setting the RUN bit to true, and setting the
MRV to a value between 0.0 and 100.0%. If MRV is set to a
negative value, the motor runs in CCW (if

parameter 4-10 Motor Speed Direction is set to [2] Both
directions).
