Safety Precautions |
Please read the following safety precautions carefully. |
!
!
!
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify power has been discharged before installing or removing an 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. Read and understand this entire manual before proceeding. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) 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, refer to
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.
Parameter 15 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the drive. You can set this parameter so that the drive continues to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does 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).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameter 11 - [Network Timeout] lets you determine how long it will take the adapter to detect network communication losses. By default, this parameter sets the timeout to ten seconds. It can be set so that the duration is shorter, longer, or disabled. Take precautions to ensure that the setting does 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).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or SCANport host products must not be directly connected via 1202 cables. Unpredictable behavior due to timing and other internal procedures can result if two or more hosts are connected in this manner.
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.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death
!exists. Unpredictable operation may occur if you fail to verify
that parameter settings are compatible with your application. Verify that settings are compatible with your application before applying power to the drive.
Install the drive cover or close the drive door, and apply power to the drive. The adapter receives its power from the connected drive. When you apply power to the adapter for the first time, its topmost “PORT” status indicator should be steady green after an initialization. If it is red, there is a problem. Refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting.
Status indicators for the drive and communications adapter can be viewed on the front of the drive (Figure 2.6) after power has been applied. Possible start-up status indications are shown in Table 2.A.

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 digital inputs are not used, change drive Parameters 361 - [Dig In1 Sel] through 366 - [Dig In6 Sel] to “0” (Not Used).
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.

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. A “1” enables the I/O. A “0” disables the I/O.
1.Set the bits in Parameter 16 - [DPI I/O Cfg].

Bit 0 is the right-most bit. In Figure 3.5, it is highlighted and equals “1.”
2.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 PowerFlex 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 receive the desired logic from the adapter. Refer to the documentation for your drive for details.
3.If you enabled one or more Datalinks, configure parameters in the drive to determine the source and destination of data in the Datalink(s). For example, configure the Datalinks in PowerFlex 70 and 700 drives by setting Parameters 300 - [Data In A1] to 317 - [Data Out D2]. Also, ensure that this adapter is the only adapter using the enabled Datalink(s).
4.Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter on page 3-8).
The adapter is ready to send and receive I/O. The following chapters provide information about basic data transfer for each type of protocol.

3-6 Configuring the Adapter
Setting a Network Time-out The network timeout sets an interval within which the adapter must communicate with its master. If this time is exceeded, the adapter determines a loss of network communications has occurred and responds with the action specified in Parameter 15 - [Comm Flt Action].
By default, the timeout is set to ten (10) seconds. You can increase or decrease this value. Alternatively, you can set the value to zero (0) so that the adapter does not detect communication losses.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
!Parameter 11 - [Network Timeout] lets you determine how
long it will take your adapter to detect network communication losses. By default, this parameter sets the timeout to ten (10) seconds. You can set it so that the duration is shorter, longer, or disabled. Take precautions to ensure that the setting does 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).
Set the network timeout in Parameter 11 - [Network Timeout].

Setting a Fault Action |
By default, when I/O communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is |
|
disconnected), the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the |
|
network. You can configure a different response to disrupted I/O |
|
communication using Parameter 15 - [Comm Flt Action]. |
|
|
|
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. |
!Parameter 15 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action
of the adapter and connected drive if I/O communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the drive. You can set this parameter so that the drive continues to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does 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).
Set the value of Parameter 15 - [Comm Flt Action] to the desired response:

|
|
set to zero.) This does not command a stop. |
3 |
Hold Last |
The drive continues in its present state. |
