Ethernet Connection – (RJ45)

The Ethernet port is primarily intended for peer to p eer communications with other modules in the system.
Other functions include direct support between the LINKnet module and a PC, ModBus TCP/UDP access to
remote I/O, HMI’s and PLCs. A computer connected to the Ethernet connector on the LINKnet module or via
an Ethernet switch, can be used to install LINKnet configurations or monitor (Go O n line) with any element
within the LINKnet network. SSD Drives gra phic c onfiguration software package Drive System Explorer 890
(DSE890) version 3.0 and all sub sequent versions support LINKnet. If you have an olde r version, updates
may be obtained simply by contacting Parker SSD Drives Product Support.

Firmware cannot be installed into a LINKnet module, over Ethernet. The USB port must be used.

USB Computer Connection – USB mini B connector.

A computer connected to the USB socket on a LINKnet module can be used to install configurations, install
firmware or monitor (Go On l ine) with a LINKnet Techbox. The USB cable can also supply power to the
individual LINKnet module. The connector is a USB mini B socket. A USB cable is supplied with the
DSE890 software package. The connected LINKnet Techbox can also forward (act as a gateway for)
commands to other LINKnet Techbox connected via Ethernet. When using DSE the ent ire LINKnet network
can be viewed using this connection. Since the USB cable can supply power to the LINKnet Techbox, a
Powered USB Hub may be required, as some PC’s may not have e nough po wer on the USB port, to properly
power the Techbox. If the USB cable is connected to the LnTB and it does not have the required amount of
power to power the Techbox, the Module Status LED will flash in the Power Fail mode and communications
will not be established.

If using this method to communicate to the LINKnet Techbox, the USB cable MUST be connected to the
Techbox fir st, t hen launc h DSE. If DSE is la unched first and then you connect the USB cable to the Techbox,
communications will not be estab lished. (The USB driver does not get loaded into Windows until the USB
cable is connected to the Techbox. Once this driver is loaded into Windows, DSE can detect it. DSE can only
detect drivers, if it is closed.)

DSE must always be closed before connecting the USB cable to the Techbox.

External Power Connection (Optional) Terminal Block (TB 1)

The LINKnet Techbox incorporates a switch mode power supply. When the LINKnet Techbox is fitted to the
590+ or 690+ drive, the power will be supplied from the drive. If power is supplied externally from the
Terminal Block TB1 connector, the Techbox will be powered from this external supply and not the drive.

Note: Power requirements: 200ma @24Vdc with a 15 to 30Vdc range. 320 mA @ 15 Vdc and 160 mA

@ 30 Vdc.

24VDC External Power Terminal block – 2 pin connector (TB 1)

The plug-in connectors for TB1 are physically different for the 6055-LNET-00 TechBox, and the 6053­LNET-00 TechBox.

Chapter 3 - Initial Set-up

There are 2 ways to communicate to the LINKnet Techbox: USB & Ethernet

The USB port is primarily intended to use for initial set up of the Techbox and setting up of the IP address.
But it can be used to install configurations, install firmware and monitor the entire LINKnet System. All of the
nodes in the system will appear in the DSE Module List when using the USB . Also if there are Ethernet issues
or IP address conflicts, the USB port can be used to directly connect to each Techbox for analysis. When
using the USB for the first time, the USB driver must be installed. Refer to Installing the USB driver for DSE
and the LINKnet Techbox at the end of this section.

An Ethernet connection can also be used to connect to the LINKnet Techbox. It will have a faster connection
than the USB method. A pc can be connected directly to the Ethernet port or it can be connected to the
Ethernet switch where all of the modules in the system will appear in the DSE Module List. When
communicating to the LINKnet modules via Ethernet, the computer must be on the same subnet and the
LINKnet modules. For set up instructions on using Ethernet communications, see page 15 to or if in DSE go
to HELP / LINKnet Support / Setting the computer IP Address for LINKnet access.

IP addressing information

Each LINKnet Techbox must have a unique IP address. Each LINKnet Techbox has a unique default IP
shipping address of 192.168.1.xxx. The last 3 digits will be random for each Techbox in the range of 1-127.
When the LINKnet TB is powered up in a system and it has the default shipping configurat ion, it will self
assign a unique address on each Techbox. At this point DSE can be launched and all of the LINKnet
Techboxes will appear in the Module List. (If there are duplicate IP Addresses, communications will not
establish between the Techboxes and DSE will not obtain a Module List.) No w the
custom configurations can be installed to each individual TB.

In a LINKnet configuration there is a System Control block which contains a place to
set the IP address. If no IP address is entered, the default shipping address of

192.168.1.xxx will be used and the TB will be self assigned an IP address in the
range of 1 - 127.

If an IP Address is entered in the System Control block, it will override the self assigned IP address.
It is recommended that an IP Address be assigned to each LINKnet TB. It is recommended that the LINKnet
configuration address be used as the last 3 digits of the IP address. Thus if the configuration address is 1 0 the
IP address would be 192.168.1.10

Configuring the LINKnet Techbox IP addressing

There are two ways to set the IP Address. One way is to set the IP Addr ess is in the SYSTEM CONTROL
function blo ck, which is loca ted in the LINKne t configuration, as shown below. If you enter an IP Address
you MUST also enter the Subnet Mask address. If the IP Address in the SYSTEM CONTROL block is left at

0.0.0.0, the IP Address which is currently in the Techbox will be used. If an IP Address is set in the SYSTEM
CONTROL block, it will override the present IP Address which is in the Techbox.

The remaining way is to use the USB cable and connect it direc tly to the individual TechBox via the USB port
on the Techbox. The USB cable will supply power to the Techbox so it does not have to be fitted to a drive.
To use this method, connect the USB cable to the LINKnet Techbox, then launch DSE and go to
COMMAND / REFRESH FULL. The module will appear in the MODULE LIST. Then do a COMMAND /
SET IP ADDRESS. Enter the desired IP ADDRESS. Then do a COMMAND / GET INO a nd ver ify this data
in the SCRATCHPAD. Because of the way the USB driver loads and unloads from Windows, there is a
specific procedure which must be followed. Connect the USB cable to the Techbox first then launch DSE.
DSE can’t be open when connecting the USB cable to the Techbox. The USB d river will not load, thus the

LINKnet Product Manual HA473865U001 Issue 1.

WWW.SDS.LTD.UK | 0117 9381800

14

module will not appear in the MODULE LIST. Thus if you are setting the IP ADDRESS on multiple
Techboxes, after removing the USB cable from the Techbox, DSE must be closed. Then connect the USB
cable to the next T echbox, then launch DSE and repeat the procedure.

The IP address of the Techbox will be set as long as there is no IP address entered in the System Control
block. It must have an address of 0.0.0.0

If there is an IP address entered in the System Control block it will get over ridden with the set entered
address.

Setting the Node Address

Up to 127 LINKnet nodes can be addressed in the LINKnet configuration. Thus the NODE ADDRESS range
is 1 – 127.

To set the Node Address go to EDIT / Net Address and set the Node Address. The NodeAddress in the
example shown below is address 10.

There is no limitation on the IP address, but they all MUST be on the same subnet.

The SYSTEM CONTROL block is
located in the LINKnet configurati on.

Installing the USB driver for DSE and the LINKnet Techbox

When using the LINKnet Techbox for the first time, the USB STMicroelectronics Virtual COM driver
must be installed, so DSE can communicate to the LINKnet Techbox. To do this launc h DSE , go to the menu
on the top, called Help / Installing the USB Driver / For a LINKnet Techbox. View this document a nd
follow the instructions.

WWW.SDS.LTD.UK | 0117 9381800

Setting the computer IP Address for LINKnet access via Ethernet

When communicating to the LINKnet via Ethernet, the computer must be on the same subnet. To change the
pc settings:

1. From the START menu, open the Control Panel and select “Network and Sharing Center” or “Network

Connections” depending on the version of Windows you’re running.

2. In the window that comes up, click on “Loc al Area Connection”. That should bring up a dial og that

Configuring the Drive

The first step in using the technol ogy option is co nfi guring the drive to accept the
TechBox. The keypad (MMI), DSE890 (SSD Drives’ device level configuration
software), must be used to configure the TEC OPTION function block parameters
inside the drive before commissioning the LINKnet technology option.
The parameter names/functions in this function block are inter-dependent and will
change with different parameter values and various technology options.

The Function Block diagram below shows the DSE890 parameter names, which are
also displayed on the MMI if no Option is fitted or an incorrect TYPE is selected
for the fitted Option.

The user must be familiar with navigating thro ugh the drive MMI menus,
be able to select functions and set values and options. For further reading
on this topic, refer to the appropriate drive instruction manual. If using
DSE890, the user must be familiar with the software package

Chapter 4 - Using DSE Macros and Templates

Node Addressing the LINKnet Modules

Each LINKnet module must have a unique Node Address assigned to it.
The range allowed in DSE is 1 to 127.

AC690+ and DC590+ Macros/Templates

The DSE program has pre-configured macros for the AC690+ and the DC590+. These macros contain a
template for the specific drive. The internal drive parameters are programmed via the template and are stored
in the TechBox/TechCard. The macros are loaded every time the drive is energized; thus all drive parameters
are loaded into the volatile memory. DSE version 3.0 or a subsequent revision is required.

Additional LINK function blocks may be inserted into the Techbox/Techcard configuration.

AC690+ Macro Template

The 690+ macro is selected from the File/New drop down menu as shown below. This 690+_v5 supports a
690+ drive with firmware version 5.x. If the drive is an earlier firmware version, it can be field upgradeable to
the latest firmware, by using DSELite.

DC590+ Macro Template

The 590+ macro is selected from the File/New drop down menu in DSE. There are two choices: the 590+ v5
LINKnet Techbox for a 590+ drive with firmware version 5.x and a 590+ v8 LINKnet Techbox for a 590+
drive with firmware version 8.x drive. In DSELite the choices are the 590v5_f1.LKN and the
590v8_f1_.LKN. A 590+ v5 template will install into a firmware version 5, 7 or 8 drive. A 590v8f1.LNK

template will install into a firmware version 8 drive only. Note: When using a v8 drive, make sure the
firmware version is at least version 8.10 or later.

Select the applicable configuration for your drive. The program will prompt you for the module name.

WWW.SDS.LTD.UK | 0117 9381800

The 590+ macro has some preconfigured inputs and outputs as de fault. If another tag or parameter is needed,
it can be added inside the macro. It is possible to use both the drives’ internal function blocks and the Link
function blocks . Simply double-click on the macro to access the 590+ internal function blocks.

Modifying inside the macro

All the drive functions are available through the TechBox. When using some of the DC590+ drives with
firmware version 5. x functi on b l oc ks, it may be necessary to use the Mini-Link block or a ‘Native drive’ block
as the connection point to the TechBox. If a parameter is Orange in color, it must be connected to a Native
drive block. The purpose for d oing this is to ensur e proper t riggering of non-system functio n blocks.

Note: The DC590+ drive with firmware version 8.x and the AC690+ drives do not require the use of the

Mini-Link block or ‘Native drive’ block to ensure proper triggering. Drive block s can be connec ted to
other blocks without a triggering problem.

Deleting and/or moving an internal connection

The connections inside the macro can be deleted or moved in the same fashion that is used i n DSE. If the
connection is only being moved from one block to another block it is not necessary to delete the external
macro connection.

Inserting a new internal connection

Input connection points to the 590+ macro do not need to be connected to the Mini-Link block. When you are
adding an output connection point to the 590+ macro it may be necessary to connect to the Mini-Link or
system block. If the output conne ctio n point is originating from a Native drive block it is not necessary to link
the connection to the Mini-Link block.

Inserting function blocks

Link func tion blo cks may be progr ammed into the Te chBox. LINK function bl ocks can be inserted outside or
outside the macro. The function blocks are accessed in the same manner as other Link2 modules.

Inserting and deleting macro Inputs/Outputs

Connections in and out of the macros are made by the following methods.

1. Se le c ting the inputs and o utp uts from the BLOCK menu will allow the I/O diamonds to be inserted into the

macro. The diamond shaped Input and Output tags can be dropped anywhere inside the drive macro.
Drawing a link from the Inp ut/ Output dia mond to the desired connectio n point will make the connection to
outside the macro.

2. H ighlighting the tag and p ressing the “DELETE ” key will delete inputs or outputs. Prior to de leting the

tag, be sure to disconnect all external connections to the macro.

Note: Internal tags do not get a module address or slot address. The tag appears as a connection point on
the outside of the macro. Right mouse clicking on the diamond will allow you to change the name of the tag.
This name will appear inside and outside the macro. The number preceding the tag name controls the order
of appearance on the macro outside connection points. The number may be changed in the same manner as
changing the name of the tag. Input connection points to the 590+ macro do not need to be connected to the
Mini-Link block. When adding an output connection point to the 590+ macro it may be necessary to connect
to the Mini-Link or system blocks.

3. Certa in output tags will require an entry for the connection speed. The faster connection speeds require

more of the CPU heap usage. If too many fast connections are made, it may be possible to run out of CPU
heap and cause an “L-Error” fault. Keep fast connections to a minimum.

4. A Digital Inp ut or Output will not require a connection speed as they are updated on a change of state

only. Meaning that if the state is always True, an Outp ut will not be sent until the state changes to a False.
The Digital Outputs are scanned at a default rate of 100 ms. This upd ate rate can be cha nged by right
mouse clicking on the connection line and selecting Update Rate.

Using Drive I/O

Drive analog and digital inputs are available for use as I/O for the Link system. The DC590+ drive firmware
version 5.x requires the use of the MiniLink or system function blo cks. The DC590 + drive with firmware v

8.x and the AC690+ drive don’t require the us e of the MiniLink or syste m blocks.

Watchdog Circuit

It is recommended that a Watchdog Circuit be implemented in each LINKnet configuration to stop the drive if
there is a loss of Ethernet communications. Presently if there is a loss of Ethernet communications on the
LINKnet drive , it will continue to run and no t fault. Within DSE there is a WATCHDOG INPUT function
block located in the BLOCK MENU. It can be connected to the DRIVE ST ART I nput in place of an INPUT
Slot. It must be updated with a logic True signal. If 5 seconds has passed and it is not updated with a logic
True, the Output of the blo ck will go False and the drive will stop and not fault. This WATCHDOG can also
be connected to a Digital Output which can be monitored by the user to take further action. For more
information on this function block, see the Help Data sheet within DSE.

Chapter 5 – Connecting to the LINKnet Techbox

There are two ways to connect to LINKnet Techbo x network. One way is using the USB port and the other
way is via Ethernet. The recommended way is the Ethernet, as it is faster. The USB port can be used if there is
a problem connecting via Ethernet.

To use the Ethernet connection the pc must be set up to be on the same subnet address as LINKnet. This se t up
procedure is listed on page 8 of this manual . Once this setup is complete connect the pc’s Ethernet cable to a
device which is on the LINKnet communications network such as a switch. Then launch DSE. Go to the
yellow Serial port Icon and select it. All of the modules which are on the LINKnet will be sho wn along with
the IP Address of each module. Also shown will be which module the Ethernet is connected to. In the example
shown below the Ethernet is connected to ‘Drive_A_Address_32’. There are 3 modules on this Ethernet.

In the above example the ‘checked box’ shows which module DSE is connected via the Ethernet.

The Module List will look like the picture shown below. The * indicates which module, the
Ethernet is connected to.

Command / Get Info

A Command / Get Info displays the modules IP Address
It also shows the firmware build (shown 1.1) and the firmware boot loader (shown 1.1) information.

Appendix A - Sequencing S tates

On Power Up the sequence is as follows:

1. When the drive is powered up, data is transferred from the Drives E Squared PROM to the

Drives RAM.

2. Then data is transferred from the Techbox’s Flash to the Techbox’s RAM.

3. The last step is: data is transferred from the Techbox’s RAM to the Drives RAM.
On a “Drive Parameter Save” the sequence is as follows:

1. Data is transferred from the Drives RAM to the Drives E Squared PROM.

2. Data is transferred from the Drives RAM to the Techbox’s RAM.

On a “DSE / Project / Update” the sequence is as follows:

1. When using DSE and a Project / Update is performed, data taken from the Techbox’s RAM and

the LINK Configurations are updated. This is why a Parameter Save MUST be done prior to
doing a Project / Upd ate. If a Parameter Save is not performed, the LINK Configurations will
not be updated with the drives latest parameters.

On a Power down:

1. Data is transferred from the Techbox’s RAM to the Techbox’s FLASH.
