OPC-ETH Multiprotocol Ethernet Interface
FRENIC-MEGA / FRENIC-HVAC AC Drive Ethernet Communications
The OPC-ETH is a user-configurable multiprotocol
Ethernet communications interface card for the
Fuji Electric FRENIC-MEGA and FRENIC-HVAC families of adjustable speed drives. The OPC-ETH installs directly onto the drive, and provides connectivity to several popular Ethernet-based automation
networks. Once installed, the OPC-ETH provides
Ethernet/internet access to all internal drive configuration, command and monitoring function
codes. All interface card configuration is performed using a standard web browser, and all supported protocols can be active simultaneously.
Supported protocols currently include:
Modbus/TCP
EtherNet/IP (for connectivity to Allen-Bradley –Logix and equivalent platforms)
Allen Bradley CSP (for connectivity to Allen-Bradley PLC-5/E and SLC-5/05 –class PLCs)
BACnet/IP
The OPC-ETH incorporates a variety of leading-edge automation and IT technologies, such as:
Dual-port RJ-45 jacks with embedded 10/100 BaseT Ethernet switch supports traditional star
and daisy-chain topologies.
MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover allows the use of any combination of straight-through and cross-
over Ethernet cables.
USB 2.0 port with mini-B connector provides composite USB device functionality. USB connec-
tion allows for product identification, configuration and firmware updating. Additionally, the
OPC-ETH enumerates as a standard USB mass storage device (“flash drive”) for configuration
file copying and web page customization.
Open XML-based socket data transfer, which allows end users to create their own custom web
server content and load it onto the unit’s internal file system via USB.
Factory-default web server content provides real-time data interaction via an
Adobe® Flash Player plug-in. Features include a virtual drive keypad interface,
and a dashboard GUI with multiple gauge windows, each of which can be configured to display drive data in a variety of meter, graph and gauge formats.
EtherNet/IP access to inverter data via explicit messaging, user-defined I/O as-
sembly instances, and the ODVA AC/DC drive profile.
Microsoft Windows®-based Discovery/Configuration tool which enables
Ethernet-based discovery of all OPC-ETH cards on the current subnet, as well as providing for USB-based firmware updates.
