1. INTRODUCTION

Vacon NX frequency converters can be connected to Ethernet using an Ethernet fieldbus board

OPTCP.

The OPTCP can be installed in board slots D or E.

Every appliance connected to an Ethernet network has two identifiers; a MAC address and an IP address. The MAC address (Address format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ) is unique to the appliance and cannot be changed. The Ethernet board's MAC address can be found on the sticker attached to the board or by using the Vacon IP tool software NCIPConfig. You can find the software installation at www.vacon.com

In a local network, IP addresses can be defined by the user as long as all units connected to the network are given the same network portion of the address. For more information about IP addresses, contact your Network Administrator. Overlapping IP addresses cause conflicts between appliances. For more information about setting IP addresses, see Section 3, Installation.

Internal components and circuit boards are at high potential when the frequency converter is connected to the power source. This voltage is extremely dangerous

and may cause death or severe injury if you come into contact with it.

2.2. LED indications

	Figure 1-2, LED indications on the OPTCP board
LED:		Meaning:
H4		LED in ON when board is powered
H1		Blinking 0.25s ON / 0.25s OFF when board firmware
		is corrupted (chapter 3.2.1 NOTE).
		OFF when board is operational.
H2		Blinking 2.5s ON / 2.5s OFF when board is ready for
		external communication.
		OFF when board is not operational.

Using the "Node Flashing Test" function you can determine to which device you are directly connected. For example in Siemens S7, by using the menu command "PLC > Diagnostics/Setting > Node Flashing Test..." you can identify the station connected directly to the PG/PC by the FORCE LED that flashes.

ETHERNET BOARD TECHNICAL DATA

2.3. Ethernet

Common-use cases of Ethernet devices are ‘human to machine’ and ‘machine to machine’. Basic features of these two cases are presented in the pictures below.

1. Human to machine (Graphical User interface, relatively slow communication)

NCDrive / NCIPConfig interface

-Parameter -Slow rate actual

Values

-Trends -Fault history

Ethernet switch

Note! NCDrive can be used in NXS and NXP drives via Ethernet. In NXL drives this is not possible.

2. Machine to machine (Industrial environment, fast communication)

RealTimeControl -Start/Stop, Direction,...

-Reference -Feedback

Ethernet switch

2.4. Connections and wiring

The Ethernet board supports 10/100Mb speeds in both Fulland Half-duplex modes. However, using Profinet requires the Full-duplex mode and the 100-megabit speed. The boards must be connected to the Ethernet network with a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) CAT-5e cable. Use a so-called crossover cable if you want to connect the Ethernet option board directly to the master device.

Use only industrial standard components in the network and avoid complex structures to minimize the length of response time and the amount of incorrect dispatches.

More information on Ethernet can be found at www.odva.org.

INSTALLATION

3.INSTALLATION

3.1.Installing the Ethernet Option Board in a Vacon NX Unit

!MAKE SURE THAT THE FREQUENCY CONVERTER IS SWITCHED OFF BEFORE AN OPTION OR FIELDBUS BOARD IS CHANGED OR ADDED!

NOTE

A Vacon NX frequency converter.

BRemove the cable cover.

C Open the cover of the control unit.

D	Install EtherNet option board in slot D or
	E on the control board of the frequency
	converter. Make sure that the grounding
	plate (see below) fits tightly in the
	clamp.

E	Make a sufficiently wide opening for
	your cable by cutting the grid as wide as
	necessary.

FClose the cover of the control unit and the cable cover.

3.2. NCDrive

NCDrive software can be used with the Ethernet board in NXS and NXP drives.

NOTE! Does not work with NXL

NCDrive software is recommended to be used in LAN (Local Area Network) only.

NOTE! If OPTCI Ethernet Option board is used for NC Tools connection, like NCDrive, the OPTD3 board can not be used.

NOTE! NCLoad does not work via Ethernet. See NCDrive help for further information

3.3. IP Tool NCIPConfig

To begin using the Vacon Ethernet board, you need to set an IP address. The factory default IP address is 192.168.0.10. Before connecting the board to the network, its IP addresses must be set according to the network. For more information about IP addresses, contact your network administrator.

You need a PC with an Ethernet connection and the NCIPConfig tool installed to set the Ethernet board's IP addresses. To install the NCIPConfig tool, start the installation program from CD or download it from www.vacon.com website. After starting the installation program, follow the onscreen instructions.

Once the program is installed successfully, you can launch it by selecting it in the Windows Start menu. Follow these instructions to set the IP addresses. Select Help --> Manual if you want more information about the software features.

Step 1. Connect your PC to the Ethernet network with an Ethernet cable. You can also connect the PC directly to the device using a crossover cable. This option may be needed if your PC does not support Automatic crossover function.

Step 2. Scan network nodes. Select Configuration --> Scan and wait until the devices connected to the bus in the tree structure are displayed to the left of the screen.

NOTE!

Some switches block broadcast messages. In this case, each network node must be scanned separately.

Step 3. Set names. Select the cell in column ‘Node’ and enter the name of the node.

Step 4. Set IP addresses. Change the node’s IP settings according to the network IP settings. The program will report conflicts with a red color in a table cell.

Step 5. Send configuration to boards. In the table view, check the boxes for boards whose configuration you want to send and select Configuration, then Configure. Your changes are sent to the network and will be valid immediately.

NOTE! Only A-Z, a-z and 0-9 symbols can be used in the drive name, no special characters, or Scandinavian letters (ä, ö, etc.)! The drive name can be freely formed using the allowed characters.

3.3.1.Update OPTCP Option Board program with the NCIPConfig Tool

In some cases it may be necessary to update the option board's firmware. Differing from other Vacon option boards, the Ethernet option board's firmware is updated with the NCIPConfig tool.

To start the firmware update, scan the nodes in the network according to the instructions in section 3.2. Once you can see all nodes in the view, you can update the new firmware by clicking the VCN packet field in NCIPCONFIG 's table view on the right.

NOTE! The PC’s IP address must be chosen in the same IP address space as the Ethernet board’s.

INSTALLATION

After clicking the VCN packet field, a file open window where you can choose a new firmware packet is displayed.

Select the desired packet and click Open.

NOTE!

Do not do a power up cycle after downloading the option board software or installing a new option board to the drive within 1 minute. This may cause the option board to go to “Safe Mode”. This situation can only be solved by re-downloading the software. The Safe Mode triggers a fault code (F54). The Board slot error F54 may also appear due to a faulty board, a temporary malfunction of the board or disturbance in the environment.

3.3.2.Configure Option board parameters

These features are available from NCIPConfig tool version 1.6.

In the tree-view, expand the folders until you reach the board parameters. Slowly double-click the parameter (Comm. Time-out in figure below) and enter new value. New parameter values are automatically sent to the option board after the modification is complete.

NOTE! If the fieldbus cable is broken at the Ethernet board end or removed, a fieldbus error is immediately generated.
