1.2.1. Safety Note

The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever connected to mains.
Incorrect installation of the motor, frequency converter or fieldbus may cause dam­age to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instruc­tions in this manual, as well as national and local rules and safety regulations, must
be complied with.

1.2.2. Safety Regulations

1. The frequency converter must be disconnected from mains if repair work is to be carried
out. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has
passed before removing motor and mains plugs.

2. The [STOP/RESET] key on the control panel of the frequency converter does not dis­connect the equipment from mains and is thus not to be used as a safety switch. 3.
Correct protective earthing of the equipment must be established, the user must be pro­tected against supply voltage, and the motor must be protected against overload in
accordance with applicable national and local regulations.

3. Correct protective earthing of the equipment must be established, the user must be pro­tected against supply voltage, and the motor must be protected against overload in
accordance with applicable national and local regulations.

4. The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5 mA.

5. Protection against motor overload is not included in the factory setting. If this function
is desired, set par. 1-90

motor frequency. For the North American market: The ETR functions provide class 20
motor overload protection in accordance with NEC.

6. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and mains supply while the frequency converter
is connected to mains. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the
necessary time has passed before removing motor and mains plugs.

7. Please note that the frequency converter has more voltage inputs than L1, L2 and L3,
when load sharing (linking of DC intermediate circuit) and external 24 V DC have been
installed. Check that all voltage inputs have been disconnected and that the necessary
time has passed before commencing repair work.

1.2.3. Warning Against Unintended Start

1. The motor can be brought to a stop by means of digital commands, bus commands,
references or a local stop, while the frequency converter is connected to mains. If per­sonal safety considerations make it necessary to ensure that no unintended start occurs,
these stop functions are not sufficient.

2. While parameters are being changed, the motor may start. Consequently, the stop key
[STOP/RESET] must always be activated; following which data can be modified.

3. A motor that has been stopped may start if faults occur in the electronics of the frequency
converter, or if a temporary overload or a fault in the supply mains or the motor con­nection ceases.

1.2.4. Warning

Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been dis­connected from mains.

1.4. Technical Overview

DeviceNet is a low-level network that standardizes communications between industrial devices
(sensors, limit switches, motor controls) and high-level devices (controllers). DeviceNet follows
the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and is based on CAN technology for Media Access
Control and Physical Signalling.

DeviceNet systems can be configured to operate in a master-slave or a distributed control archi­tecture using peer-to-peer communication. Up to 63 nodes in a multi-drop network topology are
supported, and communication options can be powered directly from the bus, using the same
cable for communication. Nodes can be removed or inserted without powering down the network.

Each node on the network has its own unique Media Access Control IDentifier (MAC ID) to dis­tinguish it on the network. The access control is based on the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple
Access / Collision Avoidance) principle, meaning that all nodes may have access to the network
at the same time. If two nodes attempt to get control of the network bus simultaneously, the CAN
protocol resolves the issue by arbitration. In this way collisions on the network are avoided.

DeviceNet defines device profiles for devices belonging to specific classes. For other devices, a
custom class must be defined in order to make it DeviceNet compatible. This further enhances
the interchangeability and interoperability of the network.

1.5. Assumptions

These operating instructions assume that you are using a Danfoss FC 100, 200 or 300 frequency
converter with DeviceNet. It is also assumed that as master you are using a PLC or PC equipped
with a serial communication card supporting all the DeviceNet communication services required
by your application. Furthermore, it is assumed that all requirements stipulated in the DeviceNet
standard as well as those set up in the AC Drive Profile and those pertaining to the VLT frequency
converter are strictly observed as well as all limitations therein fully respected.

1.6. Hardware

These operating instructions relate to the DeviceNet option type no. 130B1102 and 130B1201.

1.7. Background Knowledge

The Danfoss DeviceNet is designed to communicate with any master abiding by the DeviceNet
standard. It is therefore assumed that you have full knowledge of the PC or PLC you intend to use
as a master in your system. Any questions pertaining to hardware or software produced by any
other manufacturer is beyond the scope of these operating instructions and is of no concern to
Danfoss. If you have questions about how to set up master - master communication or commu­nication to a non-Danfoss slave, please consult the appropriate documentation.

2.1.3. EMC Precautions

The following EMC precautions are recommended in order to achieve interference-free operation
of the DeviceNet network. Additional EMC information is available in the relevant FC 100, 200 or
300 Operating Instructions and Design Guides.

NB!

Relevant national and local regulations, for example regarding protective earth con­nection, must be observed.

The DeviceNet communication cable must be kept away from motor and brake resistor cables to
avoid coupling of high frequency noise from one cable to the other. Normally a distance of 200
mm (8 inches) is sufficient, but it is generally recommended to keep the greatest possible distance
between the cables, especially where cables run in parallel over long distances. If the DeviceNet
cable has to cross a motor and brake resistor cable they must cross each other at an angle of 90
degrees.

FC 100/ 200/ 300 DeviceNet 2. How to Install

2.1.4. Connection of the Cable Screen

Danfoss recommends connection of the screen of the DeviceNet cable to ground at both ends of
the cable at every DeviceNet station (see Danfoss recommendation for further details). Low im­pedance ground connection of the screen is very important, also at high frequencies. Achieve this
by connecting the surface of the screen to ground, for example by means of a cable clamp or a
conductive cable gland. The frequency converter package includes various clamps and brackets
to enable a proper ground connection of the DeviceNet cable screen. The screen connection re­quired for CE and EMC compliance is shown in the following drawing.

2.1.5. ODVA Recommendation

The Screen must be connected to ground at
only one point on the network.

NB!

Please note that this recommen­dation conflicts with the correct
EMC installation.

2

2.1.6. Earth Connection

It is important that all stations connected to
the DeviceNet network are connected to the
same earth potential. The earth connection
must have a low HF (high frequency) impe­dance. This can be achieved by connecting a
large surface area of the cabinet to ground,
for example by mounting the frequency con­verter on a conductive rear plate.

NB!

Particularly when there are long
distances between the stations
in a DeviceNet network, it may
be necessary to use additional
potential equalizing cables, con­necting the individual stations to
the same earth potential.

2.1.7. DeviceNet Connection

It is essential to terminate the bus line prop­erly. A mismatch of impedance may result in
reflections on the line that will corrupt data
transmission. The DeviceNet control card is
provided with a plug-cable connector. When a
plug connector is used as a splice between
two trunk lines, the removal of devices will not
sever the network. If required, strain relief
must be provided by the developer. In current
installations of this type of connector, the
strain relief is attached to the product.

NB!

Install wires only when the net­work is inactive. This will pre­vent problems such as shorting
the network supply or disrupting
communications.

2.1.8. DeviceNet Termination

Termination resistors should be installed at
each end of the bus line. The resistors must
be mounted between terminal 2 (CAN_L) and
terminal 4 (CAN_H) and should have the fol­lowing specification:
121 Ohm, 1 % Metal film, 1/4 Watt

2.1.9. Drop Cable

An alternative to splicing two trunk lines in the
connector on the control card is to use a De­viceNet connection box or a T-connector. For
this kind of installation a drop cable is availa­ble as an option.

Drop cable order number: 195N3113

The connector is a micro-style, male, with ro­tating coupling nut, and fits into a Micro De­vice port.

2.1.10. Network Power Consumption

The DeviceNet option is powered via the internal power supply in the drive. The network voltage
(+24 V) is detected only to determine if the bus is energized or not, thus the current draw from
the network is negligible.

2.2. Installation of Option in the Frequency

To install a fieldbus option in the frequency converter you will need:

- The fieldbus option

- Fieldbus option adaptor frame for the frequency converter. This frame is deeper than the

standard frame, to allow space for the fieldbus option beneath.

- Cable holders

2

Instructions:

- Remove the LCD panel from the frequency converter.

- Remove the frame located beneath and discard.

- Push the option into place. Two positions are possible, with cable terminal facing either

up or down. The cable up position is often most suitable when several frequency con­verters are installed side by side in a rack, as this position permits shorter cable lengths.

- Push the fieldbus option adaptor frame for the frequency converter into place.

- Replace the LCD panel.

- Attach cable.

- Fasten the cable in place using cable holders. The top surface of the frequency converter

has pre-drilled threaded holes for attaching the cable holders to the unit.

- If an option is installed after initial power-up the frequency converter will be tripped and

4.1. DeviceNet Process Control Modes

This section describes two of three possible process control modes: Polling and Change of State
(COS).
The third FC control mode uses the acyclical mode Explicit Messaging via the Standard DeviceNet
Control Supervisory object CLASS 29H. The Control Supervisory object is described within the

DeviceNet Object Classes

4.1.1. Polling

section,

How to Access the Parameters

chapter.

4

This is a classical Master-Slave connection and
the standard DeviceNet operation mode. The
master controls the data exchange by sending
cyclical poll-requests to the connected slaves,
and the slaves answers by sending a poll-re­sponse to the master. The master can control
and monitor the frequency converter by poll­ing the DeviceNet or Danfoss objects (I/O In­stances).

4.1.2. Change of State, COS

This an event-controlled operation mode used to minimize network traffic. Messages are trans­mitted only if a defined state or value has changed. The condition for triggering a COS message
is determined by the insertion of COS-filters (parameters 10-20 to 10-23), for each bit in the
different PCD-words. The filter acts like a logical AND-function: If a bit in the filter is set to “1”,
the COS-function triggers upon a change to the corresponding bit for the PCD-word.

The figure below shows the different PCDs and their corresponding filter parameters.

Par. 10-20 to 10-23 can be used to filter out undesired events for COS. If a filter bit is set to 0,
the corresponding I/0 Instance bit will be unable to produce a COS message. By default, all bits
in the COS filters are set to 0.

In order to signal that the connection has not been interrupted, or the device is not powered off,
a Heartbeat Message is transmitted within a specified time interval (Heartbeat Interval). This in­terval is defined in Attribute Heartbeat Time of the connection object, Class Code 0x05.

To prevent the device from producing heavy network traffic if a value changes frequently, the
Production Inhibit Time (an attribute of the connection object) is defined. This parameter defines
the minimum time between two COS messages.

The Attribute Expected Package Rate defines the maximum time between two COS messages even
when the value is unchanged. In the event of COS connection, the Explicit Package Rate is identical
with the Heartbeat Interval mentioned above. This timer is used both as transmission trigger and
inactivity watchdog, depending upon whether the connection is producer or consumer.

Instance chosen. PCD1 and PCD2 are freely configurable for instance 101/151 via par. 10-11 and
10-12.

The VLT DeviceNet provides a flexible way for the user to customize the number of Process Data
(I/O words) and the functionality of each word. To activate the user definable process data, select
the I/O Instance 101/151 in par. 10-10
to four words in the input and output area. This selection uses the Danfoss-specific profile for the
Control word and Status word as well for the Main Reference Value/Main Actual Value.

The first two words are fixed on the VLT DeviceNet, whereas the user can select the input and
output, PCD 3 and PCD 4. The number of PCDs active in a system is fixed to 2 words.

NB!

Selection of Instance 101/151 under par. 10-10 is only possible if FC Profile has been
selected in par. 8-10

To enable use of PCD data from the VLT DeviceNet, configure the contents of each single PCD
word in par. 10-11
to par. 10-11 and 10-12 are effected immediately in the PCD data.
