Safety

2.2 Safety Precautions

W A R N I N G
HIGH VOLTAGE
AC drives contain high voltage when connected to AC mains input , DC supply , or load sharing. Failure to perform installation,
start-up, and maintenance by qualified personnel can result in death or serious injury.
Only qualified personnel must perform installation, start-up, and maintenance.
-
W A R N I N G
UNINTENDED START
When the drive is connected to the AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at any time, causing risk of death,
serious injury, and equipment, or property damage. The motor may start by activation of an external switch, a fieldbus command,
an input reference signal from the LCP or LOP, via remote operation using MCT 10 Set-up software, or after a cleared fault condi-
tion.
Press [Off] on the LCP before programming parameters.
-
Disconnect the drive from the mains whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid unintended motor
-
start.
Check that the drive, motor, and any driven equipment is in operational readiness.

Safety
W A R N I N G
DISCHARGE TIME
The drive contains DC-link capacitors, which can remain charged even when the drive is not powered. High voltage can be
present even when the warning indicator lights are off.
Failure to wait the specified time after power has been removed before performing service or repair work could result in death or
serious injury.
Stop the motor.
-
Disconnect AC mains, permanent magnet type motors, and remote DC-link supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and
-
DC-link connections to other drives.
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully before performing any service or repair work. The discharge time is specified in the
-
drive operating guides.
Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage, before opening the drive or performing any work on the ca-
-
bles.

Set-up of Communication

4 Set-up of Communication

4.1 Communication Options

Drives in the VLT® HVAC Drive FC 102, VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202, and VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 series are equipped with a USB port. Communication from a PC can be established using a standard A–B male-to-male USB cable connected to the drive. No extra hardware or bus configuration is required. If the PC is equipped with more than 1 USB port, several drives can be connected. The USB bus is automatically added to the network bus list.
Establish a hardwired connection through:
•
Standard built-in RS485, or
•
USB port.
The USB interface socket allows devices to be connected and disconnected using hot swapping. When connecting a drive using USB, MCT 10 Set-up Software automatically adds on to the bus list.
If the VLT® PROFIBUS DP-V1 MCA 101 or the VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121 option is mounted in the drive, establish the connection through:
•
PROFIBUS master class 2 connection (MSAC 2), or
•
Ethernet-based network.
N O T I C E
Connect soft starters either via a USB cable or via ethernet.

RISK OF DAMAGE TO PC USB HOST CONTROLLER
When connecting the PC to the drive through the USB cable, there is a risk of damaging the PC USB host controller.
Follow the recommendations for grounding described in the Operating Guide for the relevant drive.
-
Use a USB isolator with galvanic isolation to protect the PC USB host controller from ground potential differences when con-
-
necting the PC to a drive through a USB cable.
Do NOT use a PC power cable with a ground plug when the PC is connected to the drive through a USB cable.
-
Communication from a PC can be established via RS232 to RS485 converters or via USB to RS485 converters.

Enter the preferred scan setting by right-clicking SerialCom and then selecting Configure Driver. Adding a standard bus RS485 or PROFIBUS to the network tree configures the scan range to scan the entire address range. The
Ethernet-TSC bus is added using the current IP address settings. The fieldbus scan range can be configured in several ways:
•
Right-click the Fieldbus icon in the network tree and select Configure Bus.
•
Mark the Fieldbus icon in the network tree and select Configure under Communication in the main menu bar.
•

4.6 PROFIBUS DP-V1 Communication

Setting up PROFIBUS DP-V1 communication requires a VLT® PROFIBUS DP-V1 MCA 101 option module. Communication from a PC using PROFIBUS DP-V1 can be established using a PROFIBUS PCMCIA card or a card installed in the PC. The PROFIBUS cable from the drive is connected to the 9-pin sub D socket connector on the card.
Illustration 12: PROFIBS DP-V1 Communication
Consult Siemens www.siemens.com for the latest supported cards for PCs.
N O T I C E
Connectivity via PROFIBUS DP-V1 to a VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302 utilizing the VLT® PROFIBUS Converter MCA 114 with option
firmware version 2.03 is not possible from MCT 10 Set-up Software. Use the fieldbus or USB bus instead.
4.6.1 Configuring PROFIBUS DP-V1
When using a PROFIBUS interface card with the associated driver installed, MCT 10 Set-up Software indicates online drives available on the specific PROFIBUS after scanning the bus for active drives.

4.6.2 DP-V1 Connection and PG/PC Interface
The MCT 10 Set-up Software PROFIBUS DP-V1 fieldbus plug-in utilizes the Siemens SoftNet driver available from Step7, or alterna­tively Simatic NET, to establish connectivity via the supported master class 2 cards such as CP5511 or CP5512.
N O T I C E
STEP7 Lite version does not support the SoftNet driver.
4.6.2.1 Setting Up the PG/PC Interface
This procedure explains how to set up the PG/PC Interface from default configuration to open the PROFIBUS connection from MCT
10. Cabling and terminations must be in accordance with wiring and cabling requirements for PROFIBUS.

4.6.3 PROFIBUS Multitelegrams
With the Parameters allowed per telegram drop-down list, it is possible to configure the number of requests to be associated within a multitelegram. The standard allows up to 40 telegrams to be associated.
The following options are available:
•
Maximum speed (default configuration). Handles the association automatically and adapts the number of telegrams for each drive according to the series. Can be used in PROFIBUS networks containing both old and new Danfoss drives.
•
Conservative. Always associates 10 telegrams within a multitelegram. This option is useful when communicating only with old products such as the VLT® Decentral Drives FCD 300, VLT® DriveMotor FCM 300, series derived from VLT® HVAC Drive FC 102, VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202, and VLT® AutomationDrive FC 302.
•
Single request. Only 1 request per telegram.

4.7 Ethernet-TSC Data Communication

To set up an Ethernet-TSC (transparent socket channel) communication, the VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121 option module is required within the drive. Communication from a PC can be established using a standard Ethernet cable connected to the drive.
4.7.1 Ethernet-TSC Configuration
An Ethernet-TSC bus is scanned using DDP (drive discovery protocol). The protocol does not require an IP port number and IP scan range. It identifies drives based on the MAC addresses.
N O T I C E
When scanning through different subnets or remotely via a VPN tunnel, it is advised not to utilize the ADDP protocol but to use
an IP range.
Click Refresh to generate a list of all active drives in the Ethernet. The list appears in the Ethernet Fieldbus Settings dialog when the scan is complete.

Drive types without any IP configuration use their Auto IP Class B address, which is 169.254.yy.xx, with yy.xx corresponding to the last 2 segments in the MAC address. Several uncommissioned drives without any IP configuration can be scanned on the same net­work.
Select a device from the Discovered Drives list to;
•
Get more information about the device.
•
Assign a static IP address, a subnet mask, or default value to the drive.
•
Set up DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) look-up.

4.7.1.1 Scanning with IP Range
When scanning using an IP range, the Ethernet telegrams are transmitted as traditional TCP/IP packages routed out in a router, switch, or manage switch without requiring any changes. The disadvantage is an increased scanning time, and drives without IP address configured are not identified.
N O T I C E
Identification of drives using the VLT® EtherNet/IP MCA 121 option is possible only from option firmware version 1.03 or newer. If
using options with firmware versions earlier than 1.03, configure parameter 12-89 Transparent Socket Channel Power to 0 to pre-
vent the option from failing to operate.
