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 or SMC, and then verify power has been discharged before installing or removing an adapter.

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, start up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the product using an adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter 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 adapter. 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 adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting an adapter.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameters 21 - [Comm Flt Action], 24 - [Idle Flt Action], and 43 - [Peer Flt Action] let

you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. 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 ensure 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, Inc. does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this publication.

EMC Conformance

For all PowerFlex 70 and 700 drive installations that require CE conformance per EN61800-3, a ferrite core must be installed on each EtherNet/IP cable connected to the drive.

These ferrites are not required for installation on SMC products.

A ferrite core such as FAIR-RITE part number 2643803802 needs to be installed according to the following diagram.

Note: the cable is wrapped 4 times around each core.

Rockwell Automation Publication 20COMM-UM015B-EN-P - July 2013 17

Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter

Preparing for an Installation

Before installing the adapter, 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 20-COMM-ER adapter is a multicast device. In most situations, an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two 20-COMM-ER adapters are connected to the switch, a managed switch is required—otherwise the drive may fault on a DPI Port x network loss. The 20-COMM-ER, 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 adapters are set up as unicast devices, then an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is not needed.

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.

Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 7-Class 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. Use drive Parameter 090 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed Reference to ‘22’ (DPI Port 5).

2. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive, verify that unused digital input drive Parameters 361 - [Dig In1 Sel] and 362 [Dig In2 Sel] are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).

Commissioning the Adapter

3. Verify that drive Parameter 213 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the source of the Reference to the drive is ‘22’ (DPI Port 5).

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

To commission the adapter, you must set a unique IP address on the network. After installing the adapter and applying power, you can set the IP address by using a BOOTP/DHCP server or adapter parameters. See Setting the IP

Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 32 for details.

By default, the adapter is configured so that you must set the IP address using a BOOTP/DHCP server or by setting the adapter to a valid address, 1-254, via the rotary switches on the adapter. An invalid address 0 or >254 will cause the module to defer to the addressing mode selected by parameter 3 [BOOTP/ DHCP]. If disabled, the adapter will use the address information stored in the adapters database. If that address is invalid, the adapter will try to contact a DHCP server on the network. To use adapter parameters, you must disable the BOOTP feature. For details, see Disable the BOOTP Feature

Important:New settings for some adapter parameters (for example,

Parameters 04 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 07 - [IP Addr Cfg 4]) are recognized only when power is applied to the adapter or

it is reset. After you change parameter settings, cycle power or reset the adapter.

Configuring the Adapter Chapter 3

TIP

Using BOOTP

The IP address, subnet mask and gateway address can be configured multiple ways depending on the setting of the three rotary switches on the adapter. The switches are read on power up or reset.

1. If the switches are set to an address from 1…254, that value will be used as the LSB of the IP address 192.168.1.xxx

2. If the switches are set to an invalid number (000 or a value greater than

254), the unit will check if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the unit requests an address from a DHCP server. If DHCP is not enabled and switches are set to an illegal value, the adapter will use the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory. If the unit finds that the stored IP configuration is not usable (set to 0), then the unit will revert to the out-ofbox behavior of DHCP being enabled.

3. Any other switch setting will cause the adapter to use the IP address data set in the adapter's database parameters.

By default, the adapter is configured so that you can set its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP or a DHCP server. There is a variety of BOOTP servers available. The following instructions use Rockwell Automation’s BOOTP Server, version 2.3 or later, a free standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from http://www.software.rockwell.com/support/

download/detail.cfm?ID=3390. See the Readme file and online Help for

directions and more information.

If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address with adapter parameters. For details, see Setting the IP Address,

Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 32.

Configure the Adapter Using a BOOTP Server

1. On the adapter label, note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC), which will be used in step 6.

2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the BOOTP software.

Setting the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address

By default, the adapter is configured so that you set its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address using a BOOTP/DHCP server. To use adapter parameters instead, you must disable BOOTP/DHCP and then set the associated adapter parameters.

The IP address can be set using the rotary switches on the adapter to an address from 1…254 that will be used as the lower byte of the IP address 192.168.1.xxx. The Subnet mask will be set to 255.255.255.0.

If the rotary switches are set to any invalid address (0 or >254), the address programmed in the adapter's internal data base will be used.

Disable the BOOTP Feature

1. Set the value of Parameter 03 - [BOOTP/DHCP] to ‘0’ (Disabled).

32 Rockwell Automation Publication 20COMM-UM015B-EN-P - July 2013

Setting the Data Rate

By default, the adapter 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 Parameter 16 - [EN P1 Rate Config] determines the Ethernet data rate and duplex setting that the adapter will use to communicate. For definitions of data rate and duplex, see Glossary on page 221

1. Set the value of Parameter 16 - [EN P1 Rate Config] 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.

Setting the I/O Configuration

The I/O configuration determines the data that is sent to and from the drive. Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks may be enabled or disabled. (Datalinks allow you to read/write directly to parameters in the drive using implicit I/O.) A ‘1’ enables the I/O and a ‘0’ disables the I/O.

1. Set the bits in Parameter 25 - [DPI I/O Cfg].

Bit 0 is the right-most bit. It is highlighted above and equals ‘1’.

2. If a controller is used to control the drive, set adapter Parameters 37 - [M- S Input] and 38 - [M-S Output] for Master-Slave Hierarchy.

For details, see Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy (Scanner-to-Drive

Communication) on page 36.

3. If Logic Command/Reference is enabled, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic Command and Reference from the adapter.

For example, set Parameter 90 - [Speed Ref A Sel] in a Po werFle x 70 or 700 drive to ‘22’ (DPI Port 5) so that the drive uses the Reference from the adapter. Also, verify that the mask parameters (for example, Parameter 276 - [Logic Mask]) in the drive are configured to recei ve the desired logic from the adapter . See the documentati on for your drive for details.

The the SMC devices do not currently use the reference data sent in the IO frame. No reference configuration is required. Refer to the applicable SMC user manual for the latest reference configuration information.

4. If you enabled one or more Datalinks, configure parameters in the drive to determine the source and destination of data in the Datalink(s).

When using Datalinks, up to 8 [Data In xx] parameters and/or up to 8 [Data Out xx] parameters must be assigned to point to the appropriate parameters for your application. See Chapter 4

5. Reset the adapter; see Resetting the Adapter

A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the adapter exchanges data. In a Master-Slave hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with a master, such as a scanner or bridge (1756-ENBT, 1756-EN2T, 1747-L5-xxx, and so forth). In a Peer-to-Peer hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with one or more EtherNet/IP adapters in other devices. (The devices must have compatible Logic Command/ Status words.)

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 for information about IP subnets.

Because the adapter transmits peer messages when a change-of-state condition occurs, minimum and maximum intervals are required.

– The minimum interval ensures that the adapter does not transmit

messages on the network too often, thus minimizing netwo rk traffic. Set it with Parameter 54 - [Peer Out Time].

– The maximum interval ensures that the adapter transmits messages

often enough so that the receiving adapter(s) can receive recent data and verify that communications are working or, if communications are not working, can timeout. The maximum interval is the value of

Parameter 54 - [Peer Out Time] multiplied by the value of Parameter 55 - [Peer Out Skip].

In the example below, the minimum interval is set to 2.00 seconds (Parameter 54 - [Peer Out Time]), and the maximum interval is set to

4.00 seconds (2.00 x ‘2’ setting of Parameter 55 - [Peer Out Skip]).

5. Set Parameter 53 - [Peer Out Enable] to ‘1’ (On).

The adapter will transmit the data selected in Parameters 51 - [Peer A Output] and 52 - [Peer B Output] to the network. Another adapter

must be configured to receive the peer I/O data.

Setting the Adapter to Receive Peer-to-Peer Data

1. Veri fy t ha t Parameter 49 - [Peer Inp Enable] is set to ‘0’ (Off ).

6. Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter on page 43) so that changes to Parameter 42 - [Peer Cmd Mask] take effect.

7. Set Parameter 48 - [Peer Inp Timeout] to the maximum amount of time

the adapter will wait for a message before timing out.

Important:This value must be greater than the product of Parameter

54 - [Peer Out Time] multiplied by Parameter 55 - [Peer Out Skip] in the adapter from which you are receiving I/O.

For example, if the value of Parameter 54 - [Peer Out Time] is 2.00 seconds and the value of Parameter 55 - [Peer Out Skip] is 2 (see example screen in step 4 on page 37

), then Parameter 48 - [Peer Inp Timeout] needs to have a value greater than 4.00, such as 5.00 in the example screen below.

8. Set Parameter 43 - [Peer Flt Action] to the action that the adapter will take if it times out.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 43 [Peer Flt Action] lets you determine the action of the adapter and

connected device if peer communication is disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the device. You can set this parameter so that the device continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does not create a hazard of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the device, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable).

For more details, see Setting a Fault Action on page 41.

9. Set Parameter 49 - [Peer Inp Enable] to ‘1’ (On).

The adapter is now configured to receive peer I/O from the specified node. Ensure that the specified node is configured to transmit peer I/O.

0.00 <> 200.00

Default = 100.00%

Setting the Reference Adjustment

A Reference Adjustment is a percent scaling factor for the Reference from the network. It can be set from 0.00…200.00% to allow the drive’s Reference to either match the network Reference (= 100.00%), scale below the network Reference (< 100.00%), or scale above the network Reference (> 100.00%).

The SMC controllers do not currently use the reference data sent in the IO frame. No Reference configuration is required. Refer to the applicable SMC user manual for the latest reference configuration information.

ATTENTION: To guard against equipment damage and/or personal injury, note that changes to adapter Parameter 39 - [Ref Adjust] take effect immediately. A drive receiving its Reference from the adapter will receive the newly scaled Reference, resulting in a change of speed.

If the adapter is receiving a Reference, set Parameter 39 - [Ref Adjust] to the desired scaling factor.

Setting a Fault Action

The adjustment takes effect as soon as it is entered.

By default, when I/O communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected) or the controller is idle (in program mode or faulted), 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 Parameter 23 - [Comm Flt

Action]

• An idle controller by using Parameter 24 - [Idle Flt Action]

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameters 23 - [Comm Flt Action] and 24 - [Idle Flt Action] let you determine the action

of the adapter and connected device if I/O communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By default, these parameters fault the device. You can set these parameters so that the device continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to ensure that the settings of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the device, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable or faulted controller).

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

For conv enience, keep the project open. Later in this chapter the project will need to be downloaded to the controller.

There are three ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:

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

• Classic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, versions 13.00…15.00)

• Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)

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

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

When compared to using the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile (versions

13.00…15.00) or Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 device 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.

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

• Device 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 device Add-on Profile.

To determine your device Add-on Profile version, see Allen-Bradley Knowledgebase document #65882.

Add the Drive/Adapter 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 16.00 is used with device Add-on Profile version 4.05 or later.

6. In the Module Definition screen, edit the following information.

Box Setting

Revision The major and minor revision of the firmware (database) in the drive. If the

drive’s major and minor revision is not available, the drive database is not installed on your computer. To get the correct database revision, use one of the following buttons at the bottom left of the Module Definition screen:

· Create Database: Creates a database from an online network drive. Clicking

this button displays an RSLinx software RSWho window. Browse to the online drive (for this example, PowerFlex 70 EC), select it, and click OK. The database will be uploaded and stored on the computer. Thereafter, close the Module Definition screen and then re-open it to display the new revision.

· Web Update: When a drive is not available online, opens the Allen-Bradley

Drives Web Updates website to download a specific database file. After downloading the file, close the Module Definition screen and then re-open it to display the new revision.

· Match Drive: Use this button when the drive being added to the network

matches the drive profile (revision, rating, configuration settings, and so forth) of an existing online network drive. Click this button to conveniently create a duplicate drive profile from the online drive, and automatically load this identical information into the Module Definition screen. This eliminates the need to manually enter the information each time a new drive with a matching profile is added to the network.

Datalinks on page 86.

On the Module Definition screen, notice that the automatically-assigned controller tags DriveStatus, OutputFreq, DriveLogicRslt, and CommandedFreq are always used.

When a Datalink is enabled, the following 20-COMM-ER adapter I/O parameters are automatically set:

– Parameter 25 - [DPI I/O Cfg] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so

the 20-COMM-ER adapter will communicate that Datalink’s information with the drive.

– Parameter 37 - [M-S Input] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the

20-COMM-ER adapter will input that Datalink’s information from the controller.

– Parameter 38 - [M-S Output] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so

the 20-COMM-ER adapter will output that Datalink’s information to the controller.

7. Click OK on the Module Definition screen to save the drive and adapter configuration and close the screen.

The drive’s New Module screen reappears.

Using the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile, Versions 13.00…15.00

When compared to using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile provides these advantages:

• Profiles for specific drives (Figure 10 tags for basic control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/ Feedback). The controller tags for Datalinks, however, have nondescriptive UserDefinedData[n] names.

• Improved I/O configuration—no I/O assembly configuration required. Basic control I/O is defined, but Datalinks still need to be configured/ mapped.

) that provide descriptive controller

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

TIP

• The Setup tab includes a DriveExecutive icon link to conveniently launch DriveExecutive software (when installed on computer) to match the adapter I/O configuration with the controller, and to assign the Datalink parameters in the drive. This reduces I/O mismatches.

Since the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile has been significantly improved upon by RSLogix 5000 Device Add-on Profiles, version 16.00 or later, we recommend using RSLogix 5000 Device Add-on Profiles to take advantage of its benefits (more intuitive, time saving, and less likely to make I/O configuration errors).

Figure 10 - Classic Profile Screens for Drives

When Datalinks are used, you must enable the desired Datalinks and assign names to their non-descriptive controller tags. When a Datalink is enabled, you must set the following adapter I/O parameters:

• Parameter 25 - [DPI I/O Cfg] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the 20-COMM-ER adapter will communicate that Datalink’s information with the drive.

• Parameter 37 - [M-S Input] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the 20- COMM-ER adapter will input that Datalink’s information from the controller.

• Parameter 38 - [M-S Output] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the 20-COMM-ER adapter will output that Datalink’s information to the controller.

Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O

When using Datalinks, up to 8 [Data In xx] parameters and/or up to 8 [Data Out xx] parameters must be assigned to point to the appropriate drive parameters for your application.

Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, All Versions

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

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

• Users are already familiar with a drive Generic Profile and do not want to convert an existing project to a Classic Profile, versions 13.00…15.00, or to a device Add-on Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later).

• 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.

Add the Drive/Adapter 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.

1. In the treeview, right-click the bridge and select New Module… to display the Select Module screen.

In our example, we right-click on the 1756-ENBT/A bridge.

Limitations Using a MicroLogix 1100/1400 Controller

Controlling I/O with explicit messages is relatively complex compared to normal implicit I/O control.

ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers with EtherNet/IP provide the easiest and most integrated form of implicit I/O control for a device. RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, for ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers contains integrated profiles for PowerFlex drives that, with a few clicks of the mouse, automatically create all controller tags and an implicit connection at the specified Requested Packet Interval to control the drive. This connection is monitored at both ends to verify that the controller and drive are communicating. A watchdog will cause a drive fault if the drive does not respond within approximately 100 milliseconds. Therefore, using a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller is by far the much preferred method of controlling drives on EtherNet/IP.

If you are not using either of these type of controllers, then devices on EtherNet/IP can be controlled with explicit messages using MicroLogix 1100/1400 controllers with the following limitations:

· An explicit message is a much slower form of control and is nondeterministic. This means that you cannot guarantee how long the device will take to start up or stop when the command is given. Therefore, all equipment used in this manner should be subject to a risk assessment, taking into account the mechanical and electrical implementation.

MicroLogix 1100/1400 Controller Example

· A timeout value (in seconds) in the EtherNet/IP adapter will issue a device fault if a message is not received from the controller within the specified time. However, the controller has no way of detecting a loss of communication to the device until the next cycle of explicit messages. This is another factor in the risk assessment.

· Any additional devices to be controlled will require additional explicit messages for their control, and the y need to be carefully s equenced. Most controllers have small communication queues (see the User Manual), which need to be carefully managed if messages are not to be lost.

· Each controller has a limited number of communication connections (see its User Manual for maximum connections), which will limit the number of drives that can be connected.

In summary, unlike a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller, programming a MicroLogix 1100/1400 controller by using RSLogix 500 software with explicit messages is more difficult, and produces a more complex program.

After the adapter is configured, the connected drive and adapter will be a single node on the network. This section provides the steps needed to configure a simple EtherNet/IP network (see Figure 12 MicroLogix 1100 controller to communicate with a drive using Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks over the network.

). In our example, we will configure a

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

The adapter provides many options for configuring and using I/O, including the following:

• Configuring the size of I/O by enabling or disabling the Logic Command/ Reference and Datalinks.

• Setting a Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchy.

Chapter 3

Chapter 5 Using the I/O

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 adapter. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the adapter and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary based on the following:

• Size (either 16-bit or 32-bit) of the Reference/Feedback words and Datalink words used by the device. To determine the size of the Reference/ Feedback and Datalinks, view adapter Parameters 20 - [Ref/Fdbk Size] and 21- [Datalink Size]. For information to access parameters, see Using

the PowerFlex 7-Class HIM on page 28.

• Configuration of I/O (Parameter 25 - [DPI I/O Cfg]). If all I/O is not enabled, the image is truncated. The image always uses consecutive words starting at word 0.

• ControlLogix/CompactLogix Controllers only—The drive profile used in RSLogix 5000 software (device Add-on Profile in version 16.00 or later, Classic Profile in versions 13.00…15.00, or Generic Profile in all versions).

ControlLogix Controller Image

Since the device Add-on Profile in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, and the Classic Profile, versions 13.00…15.00, provide descriptive controller tags, the I/O image (tag size and location) is automatically configured based on the device being used. When using the Generic Profile (page 62 software, however, controller tags are not descriptive or defined.

Using Logic Command/ Status

Using Reference/Feedback

The Logic Command is a 16-bit word of control data produced by the scanner and consumed by the adapter. The Logic Status is a 16-bit word of status data produced by the adapter and consumed by the scanner.

This manual contains the bit definitions for most compatible products available at the time of publication in Appendix

D, Logic Command/Status Words. For

other products, see their documentation.

The Reference is produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter. The Feedback is produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller. The size of the Reference/Feedback is determined by the drive and displayed using adapter Parameter 20 - [Ref/Fdbk Size].

Size Valid Values

16-bit -32768 to 32767

32-bit -2147483648 to 2147483647

When the Reference and Feedback are enabled and a ControlLogix controller with a device Add-on Profile or Classic Profile is used, specific controller tags are automatically created, sized (16-bit or 32-bit), and placed in the I/O image.

Scaling = (Parameter 82 ÷ Parameter 55) * 32767

PowerFlex 7-Class Drives

The Reference value is an unscaled value; it is NOT in Hertz or RPM. The Reference uses a ‘32767’ scale. The ‘32767’ endpoint of the scale is equal to the value of drive parameter 55 - [Maximum Freq], which has a default value of 130 Hz. For all PowerFlex 70/700 drives, default scaling is 0…15123 which is equal to 0…60.0 Hz. This is based on the formula shown below. Reference scaling is limited by drive parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed]. If the default value of 60 Hz. for parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed, the speed Reference scaling also changes. To determine Reference scaling, use the following formula:

(Parameter 82 ÷ Parameter 55) * 32767 = Scaling

Using drive parameter 82 and 55 default values, speed Reference scaling is:

(60 Hz ÷ 130 Hz) * 32767 = 15123

Therefore, 0…15123 = 0…60.0 Hz.

If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:

(90 Hz ÷ 130 Hz) * 32767 = 22685

Therefore, 0…22685 = 0…90.0 Hz.

A graphic representation of this Reference scaling is shown below.

For PowerFlex 70 EC drives, firmware 2.xxx or later, or PowerFlex 700 VC drives, firmware 3.xxx or later, drive parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] was added to simplify scaling for the speed Reference. When drive parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] is set to its default ‘0’ (Max Freq), the speed Reference scaling is as shown above. However, when parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] is set to ‘1’ (Max Speed), the speed Reference scaling is equal to parameter 82 - [Max Speed]:

Parameter 82 = Scaling

Using the parameter 82 default value, speed Reference scaling is:

0…32767 = 0…60.0 Hz.

If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:

90 Hz = 32767

Speed Feedback uses the same scaling as the speed Reference.

TIP

For PowerFlex 700 VC drives, firmware 3.xxx or later, parameter 299 - [DPI Fdbk Select] enables you to select the feedback data coming from the drive over DPI. The default is ‘Speed Fdbk’ in Hz or RPM determined by parameter 079 - [Speed Units]. The data selection for parameter 299 is also displayed on the 1st line of the HIM and on DriveExplorer and DriveExecutive software screens in the drive status area of the screen.

The controller in the system sends a reference to the SMC, but it is not used for control purposes in the current release.

The SMC products use the feedback to send motor current information.

Using Datalinks

A Datalink is a mechanism used by PowerFlex drives and SMCs to transfer data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow a device parameter value to be read or written without using an Explicit Message. When enabled, each Datalink occupies two 16-bit or 32-bit words in both the input and output image. Use adapter Parameter 21 - [Datalink Size] to determine whether the drive uses 16- bit or 32-bit words for Datalinks.

Rules for Using Datalinks

• Each set of Datalink parameters in a device can be used by only one adapter. If more than one adapter is connected to a single device, multiple adapters cannot use the same Datalink.

• Parameter settings in the device determine the data passed through the Datalink mechanism. See the documentation for your device.

• 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 device loses power. Therefore, use Datalinks when you need to change a value of a parameter frequently.

Using 16-Bit Datalinks to Read/Write 32-Bit Parameters

This subsection only pertains to the SMC Flex and PowerFlex 70 (SC or EC), PowerFlex 700 (SC), and PowerFlex 700H drives which use 16-bit Datalinks. To read or write a 32-bit parameter using 16-bit Datalinks, typically both Datalinks of a pair (A, B, C, D) are set to the same 32-bit parameter. For example, to read parameter 10 - [Elapsed Run Time] in a PowerFlex 70 drive, both Datalink A1 Out (Parameter 310) and Datalink A2 Out (Parameter 311) are set to ‘10’. Datalink A1 Out will contain the least significant word (LSW) and Datalink A2 Out will contain the most significant word (MSW).

86 Rockwell Automation Publication 20COMM-UM015B-EN-P - July 2013

Using the I/O Chapter 5

32-bit data is stored in binary as follows:

MSW 231 through 2

LSW 215 through 2

In this example, the parameter 10 - [Elapsed Run Time] value of 6553.9 Hrs is read as ‘6553.9’ in Datalink A1 Out (Parameter 310) and Datalink A2 Out (Parameter 311).

Datalink Word Parameter Data (Hex)

A1 Out LSW 10 0003

A2 Out MSW 10 0001

Conversion Example:

Parameter 010 - [Elapsed Run Time] = 6553.9 Hrs

MSW = 0001 LSW = 0003 Engineering Value = 65536 + 3 = 65539

Parameter 10 Displayed Value = 6553.9 Hrs

Example Ladder Logic Program Information

Regardless of the Datalink combination, Datalink x1 Out will always contain the LSW and Datalink x2 Out will always contain the MSW. In the following example, the PowerFlex 70 drive parameter 242 - [Power Up Marker] contains a value of 88.4541 hours.

Datalink Word Parameter Data (Hex)

A2 Out MSW 242 000D

Drive and Adapter Parameter Settings

The following drive and adapter settings were used for the example ladder logic program in this section.

10.91.100.79 IP address for the adapter.

255.255.248.0 Subnet mask for the adapter.

11 - [Subnet Cfg 4] 23 - [DPI I/O Cfg] xxx1 1111 Enables Cmd/Ref and Datalinks A…D. 35 - [M-S Input] xxx1 1111 Configures the I/O Data to be transferred from the controller

on the network to the drive.

36 - [M-S Output] xxx1 1111 Configures the I/O Data to be transferred from the drive to

the controller on the network.

Data In parameters are inputs into the drive that come from controller outputs (for example, data to write to a drive parameter). Data Out parameters are outputs from the drive that go to controller inputs (for example, data to read a drive parameter).

When using a drive that has 16-bit Datalinks (PowerFlex 70, PowerFlex 700, and PowerFlex 700H drives) to transfer a 32-bit parameter, two contiguous drive Datalink parameters (for example, Data Out A1/A2, B1/B2, etc.) are required. To determine if a parameter is a 32-bit parameter, see the Parameter section in the drive documentation

and look for a symbol in the ‘No.’ column. (All parameters in PowerFlex 700 Series B drives are 32-bit parameters.) For example, parameter 3 - [Output Current] in a PowerFlex

70 EC drive is a 32-bit parameter. When using a drive that has 32-bit Datalinks (PowerFlex 700 VC and PowerFlex 700S), only one drive Datalink parameter is required to transfer any parameter.

Understanding Controller Data Table Addresses

Because MicroLogix 1100/1400 controllers are 16-bit platforms and are used with the 32-bit 20-COMM-ER adapter, the data will be transposed from the least-significant word (LSW) to the most-significant word (MSW) in the controller.

When the I/O was configured (Chapter 4 was used. Figure 29

Figure 29 - Data File Table for Example Ladder Logic Program

shows the entire data file address structure for this example.

), an available data table address (N20)

Important:The N20:0 data table address in this example is used to set a

control timeout value (in seconds) which determines how long it will take the adapter to detect a communication loss. Enter a valid value (1…32767) for N20:0. A value of zero (0) is not valid, because it disables the timeout and all I/O connections (Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks) intended for the drive will not execute. A timeout value of 5…20 seconds is recommended.

Depending on the drive you are using, Ta b l e 1 1 show the I/O definitions as they relate to the N20 data table (Figure 29

, Ta b l e 1 2 , Ta b l e 1 3 , or Ta b l e 1 4

) being

used in this example.

When using PowerFlex 70 or 70 EC, PowerFlex 700, PowerFlex 700VC drives, or SMC Flex controllers—which all contain INT (16-bit format) data types, you will read from and write to the MSW data table address in the controller.

When using PowerFlex 700 VC drives or SMC-50 controllers, which contain DINT (32-bit format) data types, you will read from and write to the LSW data table address in the controller.

When using PowerFlex 700S drives, which contain both DINT (32-bit format) and REAL (floating point format) data types, you will always read from and write to the LSW data table address in the controller first. Then if the data value exceeds 16 bits, the remaining value will be in the MSW data table address.
