Features

The features of the option module include the following:

• Adapter or Tap mode of operation that is selected by using the Operating Mode Jumper (J4). In Adapter mode (default), the option module operates as a network communication adapter supporting star, linear or device-level ring (DLR) network topologies. In Tap mode—only intended for use with PowerFlex 755 drives—the option module uses ENET3 (DEVICE) port as a connection point to transfer ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ data to the PowerFlex 755 drive’s embedded EtherNet/IP adapter.

• Industrial Ethernet switch, and ENET1 and ENET2 network ports that provide connections for EtherNet/IP star, linear, or device-level ring (DLR) network topologies.

• ENET3 (DEVICE) port—for use with only PowerFlex 755 drives—that supports the transfer of ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ data for that drive.

• Embedded electronic data sheet (EDS) files for PowerFlex 750-Series drives that eliminate the need to download an EDS file from the Rockwell Automation website. Instead, the EDS file is uploaded from the option module by using RSLinx software.

• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), which is an ‘RSLogix 5000 software, version 20 or later, feature’ that supports the automatic download of configuration data. This occurs after the Logix controller establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 750-Series drive (firmware revision 4.001 or later) and its associated peripherals.

• Captive screws to secure and ground the module to the drive.

• Switches to set a network node address before applying power to the

drive—or you can disable the switches and use a BOOTP server, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, or option module parameters to configure the IP address.

• Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the option module and host drive. The tools include the enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class HIM (catalog number 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S) on the drive, and drive-configuration software, such as DriveExplorer software, version 6.01 or later, or DriveExecutive software, version 5.01 or later.

• Status indicators that report the status of the option module and network communication. They are visible when the drive cover is removed.

• Parameter-configured 32-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application requirements (16 Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive, and 16 Datalinks to read data to the network from the drive).

• Explicit Messaging support.

TIP

Getting Started Chapter 1

• Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchy that can be configured to transmit data to and from a controller or another PowerFlex 750-Series drive on the network by using another 20-750-ENETR option module or the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter in a PowerFlex 755 drive.

• Supports ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ operation (Tap mode only) for only the PowerFlex 755 drive, firmware revision 2.003 or later. For details to set up ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ operation, see Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network User Manual, publication MOTION-UM003

For best reliability in ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ applications, we recommend that you always use Rockwell Automation Cat5e shielded Ethernet cable.

• 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) – Peer device communication disruptions (Peer Flt Action) – Explicit messaging disruptions for drive control via PCCC, the CIP

Option Module Operating Modes

• Accessing parameters by their name or their number.

• 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. Depending on its selected operating mode (Adapter or Tap), the option module provides a unique set of web pages with different information.

• Configured e-mail messaging (Adapter mode only) 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.

• Access to any PowerFlex drive and its connected peripherals on the network to which the option module is connected.

The option module can be operated in Adapter mode (default) or Tap mode. The Operating Mode Jumper J4 (item 3 in Figure 1 on page 19 operating mode. If the jumper is missing, the option module operates in the Adapter mode.

IMPORTANT

used in a linear or device-level ring (DLR) network topology. When using a star network topology, either the ENET1 or ENET2 network port may be used. In Adapter mode, the ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ functionality is not supported.

Tap Mode (only with PowerFlex 755 drives)

In the Tap mode, the option module operates like a gateway and functions similar to the 1783-ETAP module. By connecting the supplied Ethernet cable between the option module’s ENET3 network port and the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter port on the PowerFlex 755 drive, the option module enables the PowerFlex 755 drive to extend its I/O connection to a linear or device-level ring (DLR) network topology. This also enables ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/ IP network’ functionality supported by the PowerFlex 755 drive to be used with these topologies.

Understanding Parameter Types

The option module has two types of parameters:

• Device parameters are used to configure the option module to operate on the network. Device parameters, when viewed with DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive software, appear below the 20-750-ENETR listing in the treeview in a separate Device Parameters folder. When viewed with the 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, these parameters appear in the DEV PARA M fol der.

Some Device parameters are not applicable when operating the option module in Adapter mode while others are not applicable in Tap mode. Therefore, these non-applicable parameters are labeled ‘Reserved’ in the Adapter and Tap mode operation parameter tables in Appendix

• Host parameters are used to configure the option module Datalink transfer and various fault actions with the drive. Host parameters, when viewed with DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive software, appear below the 20-750ENETR listing in the treeview in a separate Host Parameters folder. When viewed with the 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, these parameters appear in the HOST PARAM folder.

When operating the option module in Tap mode, Host parameters are not supported.

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 the 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 may 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 may 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], 34 - [Idle Flt Action], 35 - [Peer Flt Action], and 36 [Msg Flt Action] let you determine the action of the option module and

connected drive if I/O communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, Peer I/O is disrupted, or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You may configure these parameters so that the drive continues to run, however, precautions should 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 may 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.

Preparing for an Installation

Before installing the option module, do the following:

• Make sure the Ethernet switch is the correct type. A “managed” switch that supports IGMP snooping is usually recommended. An “unmanaged” switch can be used instead if RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or later, is used and all devices on the network are configured for “unicast” I/O. For more details, see the following documents:

– EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual,

ODVA publication 148

– EtherNet/IP Network Infrastructure Guidelines,

ODVA publication 35

– Ethernet Design Considerations Reference Manual,

publication ENET-RM002

• Understand IGMP Snooping/Ethernet Switches

The option module is a multicast device. In most situations, an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two EtherNet/IP option modules are connected to the switch, a managed switch is required—otherwise the drive may fault on a Net IO Timeout network loss. The option module, RSLogix 5000 software version 18.00 or later, and a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller will support unicast. Unicast setup is required when adding the drive to the I/O. When all option modules are set up as unicast devices, then an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is not needed.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 2012 17

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module

IMPORTANT

Much of EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging uses IP multicast to distribute I/O control data, which is consistent with the CIP producer/ consumer model. Historically, most switches have treated multicast packets the same as broadcast packets. That is, all multicast packets are retransmitted to all ports.

IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to ports associated with a particular IP multicast group.

Switches that support IGMP snooping (managed switches) ‘learn’ which ports have devices that are part of a particular multicast group and only forward the multicast packets to the ports that are part of the multicast group.

Be careful as to what level of support a switch has of IGMP snooping. Some layer 2 switches that support IGMP snooping require a router (which could be a layer 3 switch) to send out IGMP polls to learn what devices are part of the multicast group. Some layer 2 switches can use IGMP snooping without a router sending polls. If your control system is a standalone network or is required to continue performing if the router is out of service, make sure the switch you are using supports IGMP snooping without a router being present.

The option module has EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology, and ENET1 and ENET2 network ports to connect to a linear or device-level ring (DLR) network in a single subnet.

You cannot use ENET1 and ENET 2 network ports as two network interface cards connected to two different subnets.

Before installing the option module, set its Operating Mode Jumper J4 (Figure 1 for the desired mode of operation.

If Operating Mode Jumper J4 is missing, the option module operates in the Adapter mode.

A new jumper setting is recognized only when power is applied to the option module, or the module is reset. If you change a jumper setting, cycle power to the drive or reset the module to apply the change.

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module

IMPORTANT

Setting the Node Address

There are four methods for configuring the option module node address:

• Node Address Switches — Use these switches when working on a simple, isolated network (for example, 192.168.1.xxx) that has other products with switches to set their IP addresses, does not need to be accessed from outside the network, and you prefer a simplified node addressing method. The three rotary switches are read when the drive powers up, and represent three decimal digits from top to bottom (see Figure 2 address (001…254), the option module will use that value as the lower octet of its IP address (192.168.1.xxx, where xxx = rotary switch settings), along with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a gateway address of

0.0.0.0 when switches are set to 001, or a gateway address of 192.168.1.1 when switches are set from 002…254. Also, the setting for Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] is automatically ignored.

See Figure 2 their related descriptions.

and its accompanying table for all possible switch settings and

When using the Node Address switches, set the network node address before power is applied because the option module uses the node address it detects when it first receives power.

). When set to a valid

•Option Module Parameters — Use option module parameters when you want more flexibility in setting up the network node address, or need to communicate outside the control network using a gateway. To use parameters as the source for the IP address, the Node Address switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Device Param eter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] must be set to “1” (Parameters). The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address will then come from the values set using the associated option module parameters. For details, see Using Option

Module Parameters on page 36.

If parameter values are invalid or the option module was not reset for the values to take effect, the node address is established by using DHCP.

•BOOTP — Use BOOTP when you want to configure a temporary IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the option module using a BOOTP server. To use BOOTP as the source for the IP address, the Node Address switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] must be set to “2” (BOOTP).

Note the option module’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the module’s data nameplate label located on the backside of the circuit board, which will be used in step 7 when configuring the BOOTP server (see

Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 32

for details).

If the PowerFlex 750-Series drive is connected to a Stratix 6000 or Stratix 8000 managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set for BOOTP mode, the “dynamic IP address assignment by port” (Stratix 6000) or “DHCP persistence” (Stratix 8000) feature will set the IP address for the drive. For more details, see the Stratix 6000 Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual, publication 1783-UM001

or the Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300

Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM003

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) — Use DHCP, the default, when you want additional flexibility and ease-of-use compared to BOOTP in configuring the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the option module using a DHCP server. To use DHCP as the source for the IP address, the Node Address switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] must be set to “3” (DHCP).

When the DHCP lease expires, the option module stops communicating on the network, requiring a power cycle or option module reset.

Note the option module’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the module’s data nameplate label on the backside of the circuit board, which will be used in step 7 when configuring the DHCP server (see Using a

BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 32 for details).

Regardless of the method used to set the option module network node address, each node on the EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To change a node address, you must set the new value and then remove and reapply power to (or reset) the option module.

Installing the Option Module Chapter 2

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 set 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 this 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 this example, Port 4 Reference).

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 switches, see Setting the Node Address these switches, a BOOTP or DHCP server or option module parameters can be used to set the node address after connecting the option module to the network and applying power to the drive.

By default, the option module is configured so that you must set the node address using a DHCP server. For details, see Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on

page 32. To set the node address using option module parameters, see Usi ng Option Module Parameters on page 36.

for details about IP addresses. When using the Node Address

on page 20 for details. When not using

New settings for some option module parameters (for example, Device Parameters 07 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 10 - [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.

TIP

Using the PowerFlex 20-HIMA6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM to Access Parameters

Setting the Option Module Node Address

If your drive has an enhanced PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, it can be used to access parameters in the option module.

1. Display the Status screen, which is shown on HIM powerup.

2. Use the or key to scroll to the Port in which the option

module is installed.

3. Press the PAR# soft key to display the Jump to Param # entry pop-up box.

4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired parameter number, or use the 

or  soft key to scroll to the desired parameter number.

For details on viewing and editing parameters, see the PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6/C6S HIM (Human Interface Module) User Manual, publication 20HIM-

UM001.

When the Node Address switches (Figure 2 on page 21) are set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] determines the source for the option module node address. By default, the Node Address switches are set to 999 and Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] is set to “3” (DHCP). This combination selects a DHCP server as the source for the node address. To use a BOOTP or DHCP server to set the node address, see the subsection below. To use option module parameters, see Using Option Module

Parameters on page 36.

Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server

If the PowerFlex 750-Series drive is connected to a Stratix 6000 or Stratix 8000 managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set for BOOTP mode, the ‘dynamic IP address assignment by port’ (Stratix 6000) or ‘DHCP persistence’ (Stratix 8000) feature will set the IP address for the drive. For more details, see the Stratix 6000 Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual, publication 1783-UM001 Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-UM003

There is a variety of BOOTP or DHCP servers available. The instructions below use Rockwell Automation’s BOOTP/DHCP Server, version 2.3 or later, a free standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP and DHCP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from www.ab.com/

networks/bootp.html. See the Readme file and online Help for directions and

more information.

If you prefer to configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address using option module parameters, set Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] to “1” (Parameters). Then use the appropriate option module parameters. For details, see Using Option Module Parameters on page 36

Setting the Data Rate

By default, the option module is set to autodetect, so it automatically detects the data rate and duplex setting used on the network. If you need to set a specific data rate and duplex setting, the value of Device Parameter 19 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] determines the Ethernet data rate and duplex setting that will be used to communicate on the option module’s ENET1 network port. For definitions of data rate and duplex, see the Glossary

1. Set the value of Device Parameter 19 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] to the data rate at which your network is operating.

Auto detection of baud rate and duplex works properly only if the device (usually a switch) on the other end of the cable is also set to automatically detect the baud rate/duplex. If one device has the baud rate/duplex hard-coded, the other device must be hard-coded to the same settings.

If the option module’s ENET2 network port will be used to connect another drive in a linear or DLR network topology, set the value of Device Parameter 21 - [Net Rate Cfg 2] to the appropriate data rate.

IMPORTANT

TIP

Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy (Adapter mode only)

This procedure is only required if Datalinks are used to write or read data of the drive or its connected peripherals. A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the option module exchanges data. In a Master-Slave hierarchy, the option module exchanges data with a master, such as a scanner or bridge. In a Peer-toPeer hierarchy, the option module exchanges data with EtherNet/IP Option Modules in other PowerFlex 750-Series drives.

For both Master-Slave and Peer-to-Peer hierarchies, the devices exchanging data must be on the same IP subnet. See “IP Addresses” in the Glossary information about IP subnets.

Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy

Enabling Datalinks To Write Data

The controller output image (controller outputs-to-drive) can have 0 to 16 additional 32-bit parameters (Datalinks). They are configured using Host

Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through Parameter 16 - [DL From Net 16]. The number of Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size

in the controller. See the respective controller example sections in Chapter 4 more information on setting the connection size.

for

Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting with the first parameter. For example, use Host Parameters 01, 02, and 03 to configure three Datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.

When using a ControlLogix controller and an RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profile, version 16.00 or later, there is no need to configure Datalink parameters at this time. They will be assigned when configuring the RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profile (see Adding the Drive/Option Module to the I/O

Configuration on page 58).

When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, configure the Datalink parameters now as described in this section.

Host Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through 16 - [DL From Net 16] control which parameters in the drive, option module, or any other connected peripheral receive the values from the network. The PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveExecutive software can be used to select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name. As an alternate method, the parameter value can be set manually by number using this formula:

From Net Parameter Value = (10000 * port number) + (Destination Parameter Number)

For example, suppose you want to use Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] to write to Parameter 03 of an optional encoder module plugged into drive Port 5.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 2012 39

Chapter 3 Configuring the Option Module

IMPORTANT

TIP

Using the formula, the value for Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] would be (10000 * 5) + (3) = 50003.

Follow these steps to enable Datalinks to write data.

1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous controller-todrive Datalinks needed to write data to the drive and that are to be included in the network I/O connection.

2. Reset the option module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 49

3. Since the Logic Command and Reference is always used in the option

module, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic Command and Reference from the option module. When using the controller for speed reference via the option module, set two fields in drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel]:

a. Set the Port field for the drive (for example, 0 - PowerFlex 755). b. Set the Parameter field to point to the drive port in which the option

module is installed (for this example, Port 4 Reference). Also, verify that the mask parameters in the drive (for example,

Parameter 324 - [Logic Mask]) are configured to receive the desired logic from the option module. See the drive documentation for details.

After the above steps are complete, the option module is ready to receive input data and transfer status data to the master (controller). Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the option module. See Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O.

Enabling Datalinks To Read Data

The controller input image (drive-to-controller inputs) can have 0 to 16 additional 32-bit parameters (Datalinks). They are configured using Host Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16]. The number of Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size in the controller. See the respective controller example sections in Chapter 4 setting the connection size.

for more information on

Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting with the first parameter. For example, use Host Parameters 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 to configure five Datalinks to read data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.

IMPORTANT

When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, configure the Datalink parameters now as described in this section.

Host Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16] configure which parameters in the drive, option module, or any other connected peripheral send the values to the network. The PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveExecutive software can be used to select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name. As an alternate method, the parameter value can be set manually by number using this formula:

To Net Parameter Value = (10000 * Port Number) + (Origination Parameter Number)

For example, suppose you want to use Host Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] to read Parameter 2 of an optional I/O module plugged into drive Port 6. Using the formula, the value for Host Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] would be (10000 * 6) + (2) = 60002.

Follow these steps to enable Datalinks to read data.

1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous drive-tocontroller Datalinks needed to read data from the drive and that are to be included in the network I/O connection.

2. Reset the option module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 49

The option module is configured to send output data to the master (controller). You must now configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the option module. See Chapter 4

Setting the Option Module to Transmit Peer-to-Peer Data

Peer-to-peer communication can be set up as a simple peer I/O configuration or a custom peer I/O configuration.

Simple Peer I/O Configuration

The most common use of peer I/O is to take the Logic Command and Reference from one drive and repeat it over Ethernet to one or more other drives. If scaling of the Reference is needed to enable drives to run at different but related speeds, use drive Parameter 609 - [TrmPct RefA Stpt]. The EtherNet/IP option module provides a simplified configuration method for simple peer I/O.

Because of the 32-bit REAL (floating point) Reference, the following method works only if the drives transmitting and receiving are PowerFlex 750-Series drives. Peer-to-peer communication only works between drives with a 20-750ENETR option module or PowerFlex 755 drives with the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter.

Configuring the Option Module Chapter 3

1. Decide how many Datalink parameters you want to transmit, and set Device Parameter 39 - [DLs To Peer Cfg] to that value.

2. Determine how the Datalinks are allocated.

The highest numbered of the 16 Datalinks are allocated to peer I/O. For example, if Device Parameter 39 - [DLs To Peer Cfg] is set to “3,” then Datalinks 14, 15, and 16 are allocated to peer I/O. To avoid an overlap between Master-Slave and peer I/O, make sure that Device Parameter 04 - [DLs To Net Act] plus Device Parameter 39 - [DLs To Peer Cfg] does not total more than 16.

3. Set Host Parameters 17 through 32 - [DL To Net 01-16] to the parameters you want to transmit, based on the allocation in step 2.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host Parameter 35 [Peer Flt Action] lets you determine the action of the option module and

connected drive if the option module is unable to communicate with the designated peer. By default, this parameter faults the drive. You may configure this parameter so that the drive continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to verify that the setting of this parameter does not create a hazard of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable).

Setting a Fault Action (Adapter mode only)

By default, when communication is disrupted (for example, the network cable is disconnected), the controller is idle (in program mode or faulted), and/or peer I/O or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted, the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to these events:

• Disrupted I/O communication by using Host Parameter 33 - [Comm Flt Action].

• An idle controller by using Host Parameter 34 - [Idle Flt Action].

• Disrupted peer I/O by using Host Parameter 35 - [Peer Flt Action].

• Disrupted explicit messaging for drive control via PCCC, the CIP Register Object or the CIP Assembly object by using Host Parameter 36 - [Msg Flt Action].

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host Parameters 33 [Comm Flt Action], 34 - [Idle Flt Action], 35 - [Peer Flt Action], and 36 [Msg Flt Action] respectively let you determine the action of the option module

and connected drive if communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, peer I/O is disrupted, or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You may configure these parameters so that the drive continues to run, however, precautions should 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 network cable, controller in idle state or explicit message control disruption).

the following parameters are sent to the drive after a communication fault, idle fault, peer I/O fault, and/or explicit messaging for drive control fault occurs. You must set these parameters to values required by your application.

Option Module Host Parameter Description

Parameter 37 - [Flt Cfg Logic] A 32-bit value sent to the drive for Logic Command.

Parameter 38 - [Flt Cfg Ref] A 32-bit REAL (floating point) value sent to the drive for Reference.

Parameter 54 - [Flt Cfg DL 16]

A 32-bit integer value sent to the drive for a Datalink. If the destination of the Datalink is a REAL (floating point) parameter, you must convert the desired value to the binary representation of the REAL value. (An internet search of “hex to float” provides a link to a tool to do this conversion.)

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Using RSLinx Classic Software

RSLinx Classic software, in all its variations (Lite, Gateway, OEM, and so forth), is used to provide a communication link between the computer, network, and controller. RSLinx Classic software requires its network-specific driver to be configured before communication is established with network devices. To configure the RSLinx driver, follow this procedure.

1. Start RSLinx Classic software.

2. From the Communications menu, choose Configure Drivers to display the

Configure Drivers dialog box.

3. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose EtherNet/IP Driver.

4. Click Add New to display the Add New RSLinx Driver dialog box.

Uploading the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) File

Note that two other RSLinx drivers (Ethernet devices or Remote Devices via Linx Gateway) may be used. Use one of these drivers if the “EtherNet/ IP Driver” cannot see your drive.

The option module has embedded EDS files for PowerFlex 750-Series drives. This eliminates the need to download an EDS file from the Rockwell Automation website. Instead, RSLinx software is used to upload the EDS file from the option module. To do this, right-click the EtherNet/IP drive that is shown as a yellow question mark or “Unrecognized Device” in the RSWho dialog box and choose “Upload EDS file from device” as shown below. Uploading the EDS file also uploads the icon files for the device. The question mark will change to a drive (in Adapter mode) or an eTap (in Tap mode).

If keying is not required, select “Disable Keying.” Disable keying is recommended.

There are two ways to add the option module into the I/O configuration:

• Drive Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later)

• Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)

These are described in the following separate sections. If your version of RSLogix 5000 software supports drive Add-on Profiles, we recommend that you use this method.

Using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, Version 16.00 or Later

When compared to using the Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profiles provide the following advantages:

• Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for basic control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback) and

Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the name of the drive parameter to which they are assigned. These profiles virtually eliminate I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce drive configuration time.

• New Drive tab eliminates the need for a separate drive software configuration tool.

• Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, project file (.ACD) and also downloaded to the controller.

TIP

• Unicast connection (RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or later)

• Drive Add-on Profiles, version 2.01 or later, enable I/O to be added online

while the controller is in Run mode.

• Drive Add-on Profiles can be updated anytime. When a new drive is used or to benefit from new updates for Add-on Profiles, you will need the newest Add-on Profile update. Go to www.ab.com/support/abdrives/

webupdate to download the latest RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profile.

Adding the Drive/Option Module to the I/O Configuration

To transmit data between the bridge and the drive, you must add the drive as a child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000 software version

20.00 is used with drive Add-on Profile version 4.03. To determine your drive Add-on Profile version, see Allen-Bradley Knowledgebase document #65882.

1. In the treeview, right-click the bridge and choose New Module to display the Select Module dialog box.

In our example, we right-click the 1756-EN2TR/A bridge. Expand the Drives group to display all of the available drives with their communication Option Modules.

If the PowerFlex drive is not shown, go to www.ab.com/support/

Click this button to conveniently create a duplicate drive profile from the online drive, and automatically load this identical information into the Module Definition dialog box. This eliminates the need to manually enter the information each time a new drive with a matching profile is added to the network.

Compatible Module. The “Compatible Module” setting for Electronic Keying verifies that the physical module is consistent with the software configuration before the controller and bridge make a connection. Therefore, be sure that you have set the correct revision in this dialog box. See the online Help for additional information on this and other Electronic Keying settings.

parameters. The procedure to configure the Datalinks on the Module Definition dialog box for the Input Data and Output Data is the same.

a. Click the button in the topmost blank row to display the

Parameter Properties dialog box for the corresponding Datalink.

Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting with the first parameter. (For example, use Parameters 01, 02, and 03 to configure three Datalinks to write data and/or Parameters 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 to configure five Datalinks to read data.) Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.

b. From the Port field pull-down menu, choose the port of the device to

which this Datalink will be assigned (for this example, Port 0, the PowerFlex 753 drive).

c. From the Parameter field pull-down menu for the selected device,

choose the parameter to which this Datalink will point (for this example, drive parameter 370 - [Stop Mode A]).

d. Click OK to complete configuration of the Datalink.

The name of the parameter that this Datalink points to is now shown in the row on the Module Definition dialog box.

e. Repeat steps 6a through 6d for each Datalink being configured.

7. Click OK on the Module Definition dialog box to save the drive and option module configuration, and close the dialog box.

The drive’s New Module dialog box reappears.

8. Click the Connection tab.

9. In the “Requested Packet Interval (RPI)” box, set the value to 2.0

milliseconds or greater (default is 20.0 milliseconds).

This value determines the maximum interval that a controller should use to move data to and from the option module. To conserve bandwidth, use higher values for communicating with low priority devices.

The “Inhibit Module” box, when checked, inhibits the module from communicating with the RSLogix 5000 project. When the “Major Fault On” box is checked, a major controller fault will occur when the module’s connection fails while the controller is in the Run Mode. For this example, leave the “Inhibit Module” and “Major Fault On” boxes unchecked.

2. Click Download to download the configuration to the controller.

When the download is successfully completed, RSLogix 5000 software goes into the Online mode and the I/O Not Responding box in the upperleft of the dialog box should be flashing green. Also, a yellow warning

symbol should be displayed on the I/O Configuration folder in the treeview and on the drive profile.

If the controller was in Run Mode before clicking Download, RSLogix 5000 software prompts you to change the controller mode back to Remote Run. In this case, choose the appropriate mode for your application. If the controller was in Program Mode before clicking Download, this prompt will not appear.

3. From the File menu, choose Save.

If this is the first time you saved the project, the Save As dialog box appears. a. Navigate to a folder. b. Type a file name. c. Click Save to save the configuration as a file on your computer.

To be sure that present project configuration values are saved, RSLogix 5000 software prompts you to upload them. Click Yes to upload and save the values.

Correlating the Drive with the Controller

You must now correlate the drive settings to the RSLogix 5000 project I/O settings so that they match. This requires loading the project I/O settings into the drive.

1. In the treeview under I/O Configuration, right-click the drive profile (for this example My_PowerFlex_753_Drive) and choose Properties.

8. Click OK to close the Module Properties dialog box for the drive.

Using Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) with RSLogix 5000 Software, Version 20.00 or Later

Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is an ‘RSLogix 5000 software, version

20.00 or later, feature’ that supports the automatic download of configuration data. This occurs after the Logix controller establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 750-Series drive, firmware revision 4.001 or later, and its associated peripherals.

An RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, project (.ACD file) contains the configuration settings for any PowerFlex drives in the project. When the project is downloaded to the Logix controller, these settings are also transferred and reside in the controller’s memory. Prior to ADC in RSLogix 5000 software version 20.00, downloading PowerFlex 750-Series drive configuration data was a manual process where the user would open the Drive tab in the respective Drive Add-on Profile (AOP) in RSLogix 5000 software and click the Download icon. ADC in RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 or later, now automates the

process and saves the user time. It is particularly beneficial in a drive replacement situation when a production line is down.

Use with Stratix 6000 and 8000 switches to provide dynamic IP address assignment by port. This eliminates the need for the user to manually enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address prior to connecting a replacement drive to the Ethernet network.

ADC can also work in tandem with Firmware Supervisor. If Firmware Supervisor is set up and enabled for a drive (“Exact Match” keying must be used), the drive/ peripheral will be automatically upgraded (if necessary) prior to any ADC operation for that port.

Logix ‘owns’ the configuration of the drive. ADC will be triggered any time the Logix controller detects a configuration signature mismatch when establishing an EtherNet/IP network I/O connection. The use of

other configuration tools, such as a HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveTools SP software, should be minimized and restricted to monitor-only operation. Any configuration changes made by these tools will cause a configuration signature mismatch the next time the Logix controller connects to the device and ADC will write over any changes made by the other tools. Consider using the Write Mask function (drive Parameter 888 - [Write Mask Cfg]) to prevent tools connected to ports other than the Embedded EtherNet/IP port in a PowerFlex 755 drive from writing to the drive. Any drive configuration changes should be made with the RSLogix 5000 Add-on Profile (AOP).

Version 4.01 Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs)

RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 ships with version 4.01 Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs). Note the following ADC operating status when using version

4.01 Drive AOPs:

• When adding a new drive, ADC is enabled by default for any drive that supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later, or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.

• When converting RSLogix 5000 projects, version 16.00…19.00, to version

20.00 projects (with version 4.01 Drive AOPs), ADC will be enabled by default for any drive that supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later, or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.

RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 can be updated with version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs, which are available via free download at:

http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/software.html

To identify the Drive AOP version, click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Module Properties dialog box and select “About Module Profile.”

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

IMPORTANT

Version 4.02 (or later) Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs)

Version 4.02 Drive AOPs require user action to enable ADC. This helps verify that the user understands ADC operation prior to turning it on. Note the following ADC operating status when using version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs:

• When adding a new drive, ADC is disabled by default for any drive that supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later, or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.

• When converting an earlier RSLogix 5000 project to a version 20.00 project that has been updated with version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs or when updating a project created with version 4.01 Drive AOPs, any ADC settings will be passed through as-is for drives that support ADC. For example:

– If ADC was disabled for a drive in a previous project, it will remain

disabled.

– If ADC was enabled for a drive using version 4.01 Drive AOPs and that

project was later updated to version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs, it will remain enabled.

Version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs also have an ADC icon on the Drive tab to show general ADC enable/disable status for the drive:

Icon Meaning

No ports on the drive have ADC enabled.

At least one port on the drive has ADC enabled.

ADC is not supported.

Clicking the ADC icon will launch the ADC configuration dialog box. This provides a single, convenient location to enable/disable ADC for any of the ports on the drive.

Configuring a PowerFlex 750-Series Drive for ADC

ADC is supported by only PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later, and PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.

ADC is configured within the AOP of the PowerFlex 750-Series drive. Start by creating or opening a PowerFlex 750-Series drive in the RSLogix 5000 I/O Configuration folder.

Keying for peripherals is managed via the respective Port Properties dialog box for each peripheral.

Electronic Keying for the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter (only Port 13 on PowerFlex 755 drives) and DeviceLogix (Port 14) ports are “Disabled” by default. Both ports do not have individual firmware and are currently managed by the drive’s firmware (Port 0). If you set either of these to “Exact Match,” Firmware Supervisor will be unable to locate the upgrade files during setup. If the “Fault Drive Connection on Peripheral Error” checkbox is selected and there is a mismatch or failure while connecting to or configuring these two ports, the overall ADC process will fail and no I/O connection will be made to the drive.

Electronic Keying for HIMs and serial converters (1203-SSS and 1203USB) are disabled by default. These are typically temporary devices or used for monitoring purposes only and therefore “do not matter” if they are present or not. You still have the option to select these to other Keying selections if desired.

Recommendation

replacement drive (including peripherals) will need to have the same or higher firmware revision as the original. Since drives with newer firmware are required to be compatible with older firmware, this allows ADC to work without compatibility concerns.

14. Save your RSLogix 5000 project and download the project to the Logix controller.

Note that some parameters can affect the minimum/maximum of other parameters and can cause the settings of these parameters to be “out of range.” This, in turn, will cause ADC to fail with a module fault (code 16#0010) “Mode or state of module does not allow object to perform requested service.”

For example, drive Parameters 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] and 521 - [Max Rev Speed] affect the minimum/maximum of the following drive parameters:

• 329 - [Alternate Manual Reference Analog High]

• 547 - [Speed Reference A Analog High]

• 552 - [Speed Reference B Analog High]

• 564 - [Digital Input Manual Reference Analog High]

• 571…577 - [Preset Speed 1…7]

• 602 - [Trim Reference A Analog High]

• 606 - [Trim Reference B Analog High]

Setting drive Parameter 520 or 521 to a lower value could cause the settings in the above parameters to become “out of range.” If you adjust Parameter 520 or 521, check the above parameters and make any necessary updates to verify they are “in range.”

NOTE: It is recommended to review all parameters needed for your application to verify that they are “in range.” When using version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs, a yellow highlight and text notification in the Parameters Linear List editor appears to identify out of range parameters.

ADC and Logix Memory

Starting in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00, drive configuration settings have been stored in the project's ACD file which is downloaded and stored in the controller. Configuration settings for ADC-capable devices contain additional port and scripting information to choreograph the download process, so additional Logix memory is used compared with PowerFlex 750-Series drives in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00…19.00 systems. Note these examples of memory usage:

• A PowerFlex 755 drive with no option modules, minimal parameters changed from defaults, and no DeviceLogix program consumes approximately 8.5 kilobytes of Logix memory per drive.

• A PowerFlex 755 drive with four option modules, approximately 50 changed parameters, and a 32-block DeviceLogix program consumes approximately 25 kilobytes of Logix memory per drive.

The majority of Logix controllers have megabytes of memory available, so this typically should not be an issue. You can monitor Logix memory usage in RSLogix 5000 software. From the Controller Properties dialog box, click the Memory tab.

Special Considerations When Using a DeviceLogix Program

There are special considerations when a PowerFlex 750-Series drive has ADC enabled and is running a DeviceLogix program. ADC will download the DeviceLogix program after the drive is replaced but, by default, the program will be disabled (not running) since the factory default setting is “Logic disabled” for a new replacement drive.

If you want the DeviceLogix program to be enabled (run) after ADC, you have to configure the drive in your project to do this by performing the following steps.

1. Select the PowerFlex 750-Series drive and click the Drive tab.

2. Select the DeviceLogix Port in the device tree.

3. Click the DeviceLogix icon to open the DeviceLogix Editor.

4. From the Edit menu, choose Recovery Mode.

IMPORTANT

5. Click Enabled to enable DeviceLogix after ADC.

If you do not set up the automatic method described above to enable DeviceLogix after ADC, you can still do so manually. To enable the DeviceLogix program, set DeviceLogix Parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “0” (Enable Logic) by using one of these methods:

• An explicit message in the Logix program to write to the parameter.

• A HIM or drive software tool to set the parameter.

Note that after setting DeviceLogix Parameter 53 to “0” (Enable Logic), the value will be changed by the drive to “6” (Logic Enabled) to indicate operation status.

Do not set DeviceLogix parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “0” (Enable Logic) in the Add-on Profile configuration before saving the configuration to the controller. This setting would lock the module and prevent writing the higher numbered parameters, thus causing the ADC download to fail.

Special Considerations When Using a 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Monitor Module

There are special considerations when using ADC with the 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Monitor Module. Safety requires manual intervention by the user before the drive can become operational. Although a manual ‘step’ is required, ADC can still be used.

Firmware Supervisor cannot be used to update the 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Monitor Module firmware. This is due to unique upgrade components with its safety core. It can be manually upgraded using ControlFLASH, a 1203-USB Serial Converter, and the appropriate upgrade file.

In addition to the configuration of the Safe Speed Monitor Module, the password for the Module is stored in the configuration script in the controller and used as part of the connection process to allow the configuration stored in the controller to be downloaded to the Module. This password will need to be entered into the profile for the Safe Speed Monitor Module in the drive’s Module Properties dialog box in RSLogix 5000 software. This password value is the value entered in parameter 13 of the Safe Speed Monitor Module on controller download to the Module, which is required by procedure to be recorded by the user for future use when interacting with the Module. When using this password in the future, it would be entered into parameter 1 for the Safe Speed Monitor

Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O

IMPORTANT

Module to allow either locking via parameter 5 or password changing via parameters 13 and 17.

Do not set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 5 [Lock State] to “1” (Lock); or parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to “1” (Run) in the Add-on Profile configuration before saving the configuration to the controller. Setting these parameters would lock the Module and prevent writing the higher numbered parameters, thus causing the ADC download to fail. These two parameters need to be changed manually after performing an upload or after the ADC download.

The following manual steps may be needed to take an existing configured Safe Speed Monitor Module (for example, replacing the drive and reusing the existing Module) out of Run mode to allow the controller to download the configuration to the Safe Speed Monitor Module. (Note that these manual steps may need to be performed with the Ethernet cable disconnected from the drive as the controller’s attempts to configure the Safe Speed Monitor Module will include locking out writes from other sources, such as the HIM).

1. Inhibit the drive’s connection—or disconnect the communication card through which the controller is trying to configure the Safe Speed Monitor Module using ADC.

2. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 1 [Password] to the Module’s current password.

3. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 5 [Lock State] to “0” (Unlock).

4. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to “0”

(Program).

5. If the Safe Speed Monitor Module’s current password is not “0,” change the password of the Module to “0.”

6. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 1 [Password] to the Module’s current password.

7. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 13 [New Password] to “0.”

8. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 17 [Password Command] to

“1” (Change PW).

9. Uninhibit the connection or reconnect the cable.

The controller can download the new configuration, including the new password.

The following manual steps are required to put the Safe Speed Monitor Module into Run mode, generate a configuration signature, and lock the configuration. These steps also need to be performed when replacing the Safe Speed Monitor Module with a new, “out of the box” unit.

1. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to “1” (Run).

3. Enter the current password for the Safe Speed Monitor Module into parameter 1 [Password].

4. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 5 [Lock State] to “1” (Lock).

These steps can be performed with a HIM, drive software configuration tool, or via an HMI that can trigger explicit message writes from the controller program. To meet SIL CL3, PLe, or Cat 4 requirements, the user must verify that the correct configuration is locked in the Safe Speed Monitor Module. See the drive and Safe Speed Monitor Module documentation for more information.

Monitoring ADC Progress

The time it takes for the ADC process to complete will vary from seconds to several minutes depending on several factors:

• The number of peripherals enabled for ADC.

• If a configuration signature for the drive/peripheral indicates a

configuration download needs to be performed for the given port.

• Whether Firmware Supervisor is enabled and needs to upgrade the drive and/or any peripherals.

• If a 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Monitor option module, which requires a manual ‘step’ in its configuration process, is used.

• If a DeviceLogix program (Port 14) is used.

With the Firmware Supervisor enabled, startup can take quite a long time. With all firmware and parameters being updated, it takes approximately 45…55 minutes.

ADC can automatically reset the drive as part of the configuration process. This is done because some parameters require a reset before they take effect. If a drive is being replaced with an out-of-the-box drive, you will typically see at least two resets during the ADC process—one for the parameters in the drive (Port 0) and, for a PowerFlex 755 drive, one for the parameters in the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter (Port 13).

See the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drive Programming Manual, publication 750-

PM001, for information about the drive status indicators. An operational drive in

a running Logix system will have the following status indicator states.

Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, All Versions

We recommend that you only use the basic RSLogix 5000 software Generic Profile for any of the following reasons:

• A specific drive profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000 software is unavailable.

• Users are already familiar with a Generic Profile and do not want to convert an existing project to a drive Add-on Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later).

80 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 2012

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

• A project must maintain specific revision level control.

• The controller cannot be taken offline. RSLogix 5000 software, version

16.00 or later, enables the drive Generic Profile to be added while the controller is online and in the Run mode.

Adding the Drive/Option Module to the I/O Configuration

Enter the number of 32-bit words that are required for your I/O in the Input Size and Output Size boxes. Since the option module always uses the 32-bit Logic Status, 32-bit Feedback, and a 32-bit word dedicated for memory allocation of the Generic Ethernet module profile, at least three 32-bit words must be set for the Input Size. The option module also uses the 32-bit Logic Command and 32-bit Reference, requiring at least two 32-bit words for the Output Size. If any or all of the drive’s sixteen 32-bit Datalinks are used (see Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy

4. Any Datalinks that were enabled in the controller and option module during I/O configuration must also be configured in the drive. Each Datalink being used must be assigned to a specific parameter in the drive or connected peripheral (see Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer

Hierarchy (Adapter mode only) on page 39 or Custom Peer I/O Configuration on page 42). If this is not done, the controller will receive or

send placeholder data instead of actual drive or peripheral parameter values.

On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP, I/O connections are used to transfer the data which controls the PowerFlex drive and sets its Reference. I/O can also be used to transfer data to and from Datalinks in PowerFlex 750-Series drives.

The option module includes the Logic Command, Logic Status, Reference, Feedback, and memory allocation for the Generic Ethernet module profile (all as 32-bit words) in the controller’s I/O image. This basic I/O must always be configured in the EtherNet bridge using RSLogix 5000 software. Additional I/O, if needed, can be set using up to 16 Datalinks to write data and/or up to 16 Datalinks to read data. When using any combination of these Datalinks, add one 32-bit word for each

Chapter 5 Using the I/O (Adapter mode only)

Understanding the I/O Image

The terms input and output are defined from the controller’s point of view. Therefore, output I/O is data that is produced by the controller and consumed by the option module. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the option module and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary based on the following :

• How many of the drive’s 32-bit Datalinks (Host DL From Net 01-16 and Host DL To Net 01-16) are used.

• ControlLogix/CompactLogix Controllers only—The drive profile used in RSLogix 5000 software (drive Add-on Profile in version 16.00 or later, or Generic Profile in all versions).

ControlLogix Controller Image

Since the drive Add-on Profile in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, provides descriptive controller tags, the I/O image (tag size and location) is automatically configured based on the drive being used. When using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, however, controller tags are not descriptive or defined.

Using Logic Command/Status

Using Reference/Feedback

The Logic Command is a 32-bit word of control data produced by the controller and consumed by the option module. The Logic Status is a 32-bit word of status data produced by the option module and consumed by the controller.

When using a ControlLogix controller, the Logic Command word is always DINT 0 in the output image and the Logic Status word is always:

• DINT 0 in the input image when using the drive Add-on Profile.

• DINT 1 when using the Generic Profile.

This manual contains the bit definitions for compatible products available at the time of publication in Appendix 750-Series Drives.

The Reference is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) piece of control data produced by the controller and consumed by the option module. The Feedback is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) piece of status data produced by the option module and consumed by the controller.

When using a ControlLogix controller, the 32-bit REAL Reference is always DINT 1 in the output image (see Ta b l e 3 always:

• DINT 1 in the input image when using the drive Add-on Profile.

• DINT 2 when using the Generic Profile.

D, Logic Command/Status Words: PowerFlex

) and the 32-bit REAL Feedback is

When using a drive Add-on Profile, the Reference and Feedback are automatically formatted properly and displayed as a controller tag. When using the Generic Profile, the I/O image is integer-based and the Reference and Feedback are floating point. Because of this, a COP (Copy) instruction or User Defined Data Type (UDDT) is required to correctly write values to the Reference and read values from the Feedback. See the ladder logic program examples in Figure 20

The Reference and Feedback 32-bit REAL value represents drive speed. The scaling for the speed Reference and Feedback are dependent on drive Parameter 300 - [Speed Units]. For example, if Parameter 300 is set to Hz, a 32-bit REAL Reference value of “30.0” would equal a Reference of 30.0 Hz. If Parameter 300 is set to RPM, a 32-bit REAL Reference value of “1020.5” would equal a Reference of 1020.5 RPM. Note that the commanded maximum speed can never exceed the value of drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed]. Ta b l e 4 References and their results for a PowerFlex 750-Series drive that has its:

• Parameter 300 - [Speed Units] set to Hz.

• Parameter 37 - [Maximum Freq] set to 130 Hz.

• Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] set to 60 Hz.

and Figure 21.

When using the drive Add-on Profile, the controller tags for Reference and Feedback are automatically and properly formatted. This eliminates the need for data conversion using COP (copy) instructions or a UDDT to copy the DINT data into a REAL word.

Using Datalinks

A Datalink is a mechanism used by PowerFlex drives to transfer data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow a drive parameter value to be read or written to without using an Explicit Message. When enabled, each Datalink occupies one 32-bit word in a ControlLogix controller.

The following rules apply when using PowerFlex 750-Series drive Datalinks:

• The target of a Datalink can be any Host parameter, including those of a peripheral. For example, drive parameter 535 - [Accel Time 1] can be the target of any or all option modules installed in the drive.

• The data passed through the drive’s Datalink mechanism is determined by the settings of Host Parameters 01…16 - [DL From Net 01-16] and Host Parameters 17…32 - [DL To Net 01-16].

A reset is always required after configuring Datalinks so that the changes take effect.

• When an I/O connection that includes Datalinks is active, those Datalinks being used are locked and cannot be changed until that I/O connection becomes idle or inactive.

• When you use a Datalink to change a value, the value is NOT written to the Nonvolatile Storage (NVS). The value is stored in volatile memory and lost when the drive loses power. Thus, use Datalinks when you need to change a value of a parameter frequently.

Datalinks for PowerFlex 750-Series drive peripherals (embedded EtherNet/IP adapter on PowerFlex 755 drives only and option modules such as an encoder or a communication module) are locked when the peripheral has an I/O connection with a controller. When a controller has an I/O connection to the drive, the drive does not allow a reset to defaults, configuration download or anything else that

90 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 2012

TIP

Using the I/O (Adapter mode only) Chapter 5

could change the makeup of the I/O connection in a running system. The I/O connection with the controller must first be disabled to allow changes to the respective Datalinks.

Depending on the controller being used, the I/O connection can be disabled by doing the following:

• Inhibiting the module in RSLogix 5000 software

• Putting the controller in Program mode

• Placing the scanner in idle mode

• Disconnecting the drive from the network

DeviceLogix Datalinks are also locked while the DeviceLogix program is running. The DeviceLogix program must first be disabled to allow changes to the Datalinks. Set DeviceLogix parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “DisableLogic” to disable the logic (the parameter value will then change to “LogicDisabld”).

When using the drive Add-on Profile, the controller tags for Reference and Feedback to Datalinks are automatically and properly formatted.

If a Generic Profile is used, a COP (Copy) instruction or a UDDT is needed—for REAL parameters, speed Reference, and speed Feedback only—to copy the DINT data into a REAL word for input data conversion. For output data conversion, a COP (Copy) instruction or UDDT is needed—for REAL parameters, speed Reference, and speed Feedback only—to copy the REAL data into a DINT word. To determine whether a parameter is a 32-bit integer (DINT) or a REAL data type, see the Data Type column in the chapter containing parameters in the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual (publication 750-PM001

Controller Tags

When you add the option module and drive to the I/O configuration (Chapter 4 descriptive) controller tags. In this example program, the following controller tags are used.

You can expand the Input and Output tags to reveal the input and output configuration. The Input tag for this example requires nineteen 32-bit words of data (Figure 18 bit words of data (Figure 19

), RSLogix 5000 software automatically creates generic (non-

). The Output tag for this example program requires eighteen 32-

Example Datalink Data

The Datalink data used in the example program is shown in Figure 22. Note that to describe the parameters to which the Datalinks are assigned, you may want to add descriptions to the automatically-created generic controller tags or create a UDDT. For this example, the DL_From_Net tags were created to describe the drive parameters to which these Datalinks are assigned. For example, DL_From_Net_01_Stop_Mode_A indicates that option module Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] is assigned to drive parameter 370 - [Stop Mode A]. This same method applies to the DL_To_Net tags.

To determine whether a parameter is a 32-bit integer (DINT) or a REAL data type, see the Data Type column in the chapter containing parameters in the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual (publication 750-

PM001). If a param eter is a REAL, a COP (Copy) instructi on or UDDT is needed to

copy the DINT to a REAL (inputs) or copy the REAL to a DINT (outputs).

Using Explicit Messaging (Adapter mode only)

This chapter provides information and examples that explain how to use Explicit Messaging with a ControlLogix controller to configure and monitor the option module and connected PowerFlex 750-Series drive.

For explicit messaging with a PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100/1400 controller, see Controller Examples for EtherNet/IP Network Communications with PowerFlex 750-Series Drives, publication 750COM-AT001.

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, Inc. does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this publication.

About Explicit Messaging

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. If Explicit Messages are

programmed to write parameter data to Nonvolatile Storage (NVS) frequently, the NVS will quickly exceed its life cycle and cause the drive to malfunction. Do not create a program that frequently uses Explicit Messages to write parameter data to NVS. Datalinks do not write to NVS and should be used for frequently changed parameters.

See Chapter 5 for information about the I/O Image, using Logic Command/ Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks.

Explicit Messaging is used to transfer data that does not require continuous updates. With Explicit Messaging, you can configure and monitor a slave device’s parameters on the network.

When an explicit message is performed, by default no connection is made since it is an “unconnected” message. When timing of the message transaction is important, you can create a dedicated message connection between the controller and drive by checking the “Connec ted” box on the Communications tab message configuration dialog box during message setup. These message connections are in addition to the I/O connection. However, the trade off for more message connections is decreased network performance. If your application cannot tolerate this, do not check the “Connected” box, which is recommended.

Parameter Object 0x0F No Single parameter reads/writes

DPI Parameter Object 0x93 Yes

Host DPI Parameter Object 0x9F Yes

(1) Enables access to drive parameters (Por t 0), DPI device parameters (Ports 1…6 only), and Host param eters (Ports 7…14 only). For

example, DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x93 can access a S afe Speed Monitor option module in Por t 6. However, Class code 0x93 cannot access, for example, the Host parameters in a 24V I/O option module in Port 5. See DPI Parameter Object instance (parameter) numbering.

(2) Enables access to drive parameters (Por t 0) and Host parameters for all ports (1…14). Host DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x9F

cannot access DPI (device) parameters. For example, if a 20-750-DNET option module is in Port 4, its Host parameters can be accessed, but not its DPI (device) parameters. See Host DPI Parameter Object

To message to another device in a different drive port, see the Instance table in Appendix C:

• DPI Parameter Object section on page 163

• Host DPI Parameter Object section on page 177

In the Message Configuration dialog box, set the Instance field to an appropriate value within the range listed for the port in which the device resides.

PowerFlex 750-Series drives have explicit messaging limitations. Ta bl e 5 shows the EtherNet/IP Object Class code compatibilities for these drives.

Performing Explicit Messaging

There are five basic events in the Explicit Messaging process. The details of each step will vary depending on the type of controller being used. See the documentation for your controller.

There must be a request message and a response message for all Explicit Messages, whether you are reading or writing data.

Figure 23 - Explicit Message Process

Event Description

You format the required data and set up the ladder logic program to send an Explicit Message request to the scanner or bridge module (download).

The scanner or bridge module transmits the Explicit Message Request to the slave device over the network.

The slave device transmits the Explicit Message Response back to the scanner. The data is stored in the scanner buffer.
