• Read/write access for parameters, where parameter values can be configured and monitored over the network.

Understanding Parameter Types

• User-defined fault actions to determine how the option module and its connected host drive respond to the following:

– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)

– Controllers in Idle mode (Idle Flt Action)

• Web pages, viewed by using a web browser, that show information about the option module, its host drive, and DPI devices connected to the drive.

• Configurable e-mail messaging to desired addresses when selected drive faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or when the option module takes a communication or idle fault action.

The option module has two types of parameters:

• Device parameters are used to configure the option module to operate on the network.

• Host parameters are used to configure the option module’s fault actions with the drive.

Safety Precautions

Please read the following safety precautions carefully.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify power has been discharged before installing or removing an option module.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar with drive and power products and the associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, startup, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the drive using the option module. Failure to comply can result in injury and/or equipment damage.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The option module contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when handling the option module. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the option module is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive can fault when you reset the option module. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting the module.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action] and 34 - [Idle Flt Action] let you

determine the action of the option module and connected drive if I/O communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, or messaging for drive control is disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can configure these parameters so that the drive continues to run, however, precautions must be taken to verify that the settings of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable or a controller in idle state).

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is configured for the first time, there can be unintended or incorrect machine motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial system testing.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this publication.

Applying Power

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death exists.

Unpredictable operation can occur if you fail to verify that parameter settings are compatible with your application. Verify that settings are compatible with your application before applying power to the drive.

Apply power to the drive. The option module receives its power from the drive. When you apply power to the option module for the first time, its topmost ‘PORT’ status indicator should be steady green or flashing green after an initialization. If it is red, there is a problem. See Chapter 5

Start-Up Status Indications

After power has been applied, the drive STS (status) indicator can be viewed on front of the drive and the option module status indicators can be viewed with the drive cover open or removed (Figure 2 shown in Ta b l e 1

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 750-Series drive can be separately configured for the control and Reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the drive to have its control come from a peripheral or terminal block with the Reference coming from the network. Or you could configure the drive to have its control come from the network with the Reference coming from another peripheral or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both its control and Reference come from the network.

The following steps in this section assume that the drive will receive the Logic Command and Reference from the network.

1. Verify that drive Parameter 301 - [Access Level] is set to ‘1’ (Advanced) or ‘2’ (Expert) to access the required parameters in this procedure.

2. Use drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed Reference.

a. Set the Port field to ‘0’ as shown below.

b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port (slot) in which the option

module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference). The number ‘874’ in the Parameter field of the example dialog box

above is the parameter in the drive that points to the port.

3. Verify that drive Parameter 930 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the source of the Reference to the drive (Port 0) is the port in which the option module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference).

22 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM005B-EN-P - June 2014

Installing the Option Module Chapter 2

IMPORTANT

This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded SpdRef ]. If a problem occurs, this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to determine whether the drive/option module or the network is the cause.

4. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive, verify that all unused digital input drive parameters are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).

Commissioning the Option Module

To commission the option module, you must set a unique network node address. See the Glossary

Selection Jumper on page 18 for details on selecting the source (default address,

from a DHCP server, or from option module parameters) for the network address.

for details about IP addresses. Also, see Setting the IP Address

New settings for some option module parameters (for example Device Parameters 04 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 07 - [IP Addr Cfg 4]) are recognized only when power is applied to the option module or it is reset. After you change parameter settings, cycle power or reset the option module.
