TIP

Features

The features of the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter include the following:

• Switches to set an IP address before applying power to the drive—or you can disable the switches and use a BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) server or adapter parameters to configure the IP address.

• Compatibility with the following configuration tools to configure the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter and host drive:

– PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM (Human Interface

Module) on the drive, if available

– Connected Components Workbench software, version1.02 or later – DriveExplorer software, version 6.01 or later – DriveExecutive software, version 5.01 or later.

• Status indicators that report the status of the embedded EtherNet/IP

adapter and network communications. They are visible when the drive cover is open or closed.

• 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.

• Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchy that can be configured to transmit

data to and from either a controller or another PowerFlex 750-Series drive on the network.

• Supports ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ operation for 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 embedded EtherNet/IP adapter and its host PowerFlex 755 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

12 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013

Getting Started Chapter 1

• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), which is an ‘RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00, feature’ that supports the automatic download of configuration data. This occurs after the Logix controller establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 755 drive (firmware revision 4.001 or later) and its associated peripherals.

• Web pages, viewed by using a web browser, that show information about the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, its host drive, and DPI devices connected to the drive.

• Configured e-mail messaging to desired addresses when selected drive faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or when the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter takes a communication or idle fault action.

• Access to any PowerFlex drive and its connected peripherals on the network to which the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is connected.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The embedded 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 the adapter.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Embedded adapter Parameters 54 - [Comm Flt Action], 55 - [Idle Flt Action], 56 - [Peer Flt Action], and 57 - [Msg Flt Action] let you determine the action of the adapter

and 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.

Installing the Adapter

Since the EtherNet/IP adapter is embedded on the Main Control Board in the PowerFlex 755 drive, the only required adapter installation is setting its IP address and connecting it to the network.

Preparing for an Installation

Before installing the embedded EtherNet/IP 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 embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is a multicast device. In most situations, an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two embedded EtherNet/IP adapters are connected to the switch, a managed switch is required—otherwise the drive may fault on a Net IO Timeout network loss. The embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, RSLogix 5000 software version 18 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 embedded EtherNet/IP 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/

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013 17

Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter

IMPORTANT

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.

Setting the IP Address

• See Appendix embedded EtherNet/IP adapter.

• Verify that you have all required equipment. See Required Equipment

page 13.

There are several ways to configure the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter IP address:

• Adapter Rotary Switches — Use the 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 adapter switches are read when the drive powers up, and represent three decimal digits from top to bottom. If set to a valid address (001…254), the adapter 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 there will be no gateway configured. Also, the setting for adapter Parameter 36 - [BOOTP] is automatically ignored.

See Figure 1 on page 19 their related descriptions.

A for the number of CIP connections supported by the

and its accompanying table for switch settings and

When using the adapter rotary switches, set the IP address before power is applied because the adapter uses the IP address it detects when it first receives power.

•Adapter Parameters — Use adapter parameters when you want more flexibility in setting up the IP address, or need to communicate outside the control network using a gateway. To use parameters as the source for the IP address, the rotary switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Parameter 36 - [BOOTP] must be set to ‘0’ (disabled). The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses will then come from the values set using the associated adapter parameters.

•BOOTP — Use BOOTP, the default, when you want to configure a temporary IP addresses, subnet mask, and gateway address for the adapter

using a BOOTP server. To use BOOTP as the source for the IP address, the rotary switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Parameter 36 - [BOOTP] must be set to ‘1’ (enabled).

Note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the drive’s Main Control Board, which will be used in step 6 when configuring the BOOTP server (see Using a BOOTP Server

on page 26 for details).

If the PowerFlex 755 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

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

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 755 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.

22 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013

Installing the Adapter Chapter 2

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

a. Set the Port field to ‘0 - PowerFlex 755’ as shown below.

b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port in which the embedded

EtherNet/IP adapter is located (always ‘Port 13 Reference’ – the drive port dedicated to the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter).

The number ‘877’ 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 embedded EtherNet/IP adapter resides (always ‘Port 13 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/embedded adapter 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).

IMPORTANT

Commissioning the Adapter

To commission the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, you must set a unique IP address. See the Glossary switches, see Setting the IP Address switches, a BOOTP server or adapter parameters can be used to set the IP address after connecting the adapter to the network and applying power to the drive.

By default, the adapter is configured so that you must set the IP address using a BOOTP server. For details, see Using a B OOTP Ser ver address using adapter parameters, see Using Adapter Parameters

New settings for some adapter parameters (for example, Parameters 38 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 41 - [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.

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.

2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive or by using the HIM’s Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy

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 adapter exchanges data. In a Master-Slave hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with a master, such as a scanner or bridge. In a Peer-to-Peer hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with embedded EtherNet/IP adapters in other PowerFlex 755 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 about IP subnets.

Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy

Enable 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 Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through 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 setting the connection size.

peripheral receive the values from the network. You can use the PowerFlex 20HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, or another drive configuration tool such as Connected Components Workbench, DriveExplorer, or DriveExecutive software 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 Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] to write to Parameter 03 of an optional encoder card plugged into drive Port 5. Using the formula, the value for 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 adapter by power cycling the drive or by using the HIM’s Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

3. Since the Logic Command and Reference are always used in the adapter, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic Command and Reference from the adapter.

When using the controller for speed reference via the adapter, 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

embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is installed (always ‘Port 13 Reference’, the drive port dedicated to the embedded adapter).

Also, verify that the mask parameters in the drive (for example, Parameter 324 - [Logic Mask]) are configured to receive the desired logic from the adapter. See the drive documentation for details.

After the above steps are complete, the adapter 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 adapter. See Chapter 4

Enable 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 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

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

For example, suppose you want to use Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] to read Parameter 2 of an optional I/O card plugged into drive Port 6. Using the formula, the value for 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 adapter by power cycling the drive or by using the HIM’s Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

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

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 embedded EtherNet/IP adapter 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.

Follow these steps to set up the master (broadcast) side of simple peer I/O.

1. Set Parameters 89 - [To Peer Period] and 90 - [To Peer Skip] as desired for your application.

Parameter 89 controls how frequently the adapter will transmit data when it is changing. Parameter 90 controls how frequently the adapter will transmit data when it is not changing.

2. Set Parameter 91 - [To Peer Enable] to a value of ‘1’ (Cmd/Ref).

Follow these steps to set up the slave (receiver) side of simple peer I/O.

1. Set Parameter 80 - [Fr Peer Timeout] to a suitable timeout value for your application.

This value should be greater than the product of Parameter 89 - [To Peer

Period ] and Parameter 90 - [To Peer Skip] in the transmitting drive.

2. Set Parameters 81 - [Fr Peer Addr 1] through 84 - [Fr Peer Addr 4] to

the IP address of the drive transmitting peer I/O.

3. In each PowerFlex 750-Series slave drive, set drive parameter 308 [Direction Mode] to ‘0’ (Unipolar) to ensure that it properly follows the master drive’s speed reference and commanded direction.

4. Set Parameter 85 - [Fr Peer Enable] to a value of ‘1’ (Cmd/Ref).

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013 35

Chapter 3 Configuring the Adapter

IMPORTANT

Custom Peer I/O Configuration

Peer I/O also allows more flexibility in sending custom data over the network, but requires more configuration.

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.

Follow these steps to set up the master (broadcast) side of custom peer I/O.

1. Decide how many Datalink parameters you want to transmit. Set Parameter 87 - [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 Parameter 87 - [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 Parameter 35 - [DLs To Net

Act] plus Parameter 87 - [DLs To Peer Cfg] does not total more than 16.

3. Set Parameters 17 through 32 - [DL To Net 01-16] to the parameters you

want to transmit, based on the allocation in step 2.

4. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive or by using the HIM’s Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder so that changes to Parameter 87 - [DLs To Peer Cfg] take effect.

5. Set Parameters 89 - [To Peer Period] and 90 - [To Peer Skip] as required for your application.

Parameter 89 controls how frequently the adapter will transmit data when it is changing. Parameter 90 controls how frequently the adapter will transmit data when it is not changing.

6. Set Parameter 91 - [To Peer Enable] to a value of ‘2’ (Custom).

Follow these steps to set up the slave (receiver) side of custom peer I/O.

1. Decide how many pieces of data (Logic Command, Reference, and Datalink parameters) you want to receive and set Parameter 76 - [DLs Fr Peer Cfg] to that value.

This must match the number of parameters transmitted by the master.

2. Determine how the Datalinks are allocated.

The highest numbered of the 16 Datalinks are allocated to peer I/O. For example, if Parameter 76 - [DLs Fr Peer Cfg] is set to ‘3’, Datalinks 14, 15, and 16 are allocated to peer I/O. To avoid an overlap between MasterSlave and peer I/O, make sure that Parameter 34 - [DLs From Net Act] plus Parameter 76 - [DLs Fr Peer Cfg] does not total more than 16.

3. Set Parameters 1 through 16 - [DL From Net 01-16] to the parameters you want to receive, based on the allocation in step 2.

5. Set Parameter 56 - [Peer Flt Action] to the desired action if peer I/O data

is not received before the timeout is reached.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 56 - [Peer Flt Action] lets you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if

the adapter 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).

For example, if Parameter 76 - [DLs Fr Peer Cfg] is set to receive five Datalinks (Datalinks 12 through 16) and the first of those five Datalinks (Datalink 12) contains the Logic Command, set Parameter 78 - [Logic Src Cfg] to a value of ‘1’. Otherwise, set Parameter 78 to a value of ‘0’. For Logic Command bit definitions, see Appendix documentation.

8. If a Reference is being sent, use Parameter 79 - [Ref Src Cfg] to set the number of the Datalink that contains the Reference within the range defined by Parameter 76 - [DLs Fr Peer Cfg].

For example, if Parameter 76 - [DLs Fr Peer Cfg] is set to receive five Datalinks (Datalinks 12 through 16) and the second of those five Datalinks (Datalink 13) contains the Reference, set Parameter 79 - [Ref

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 faults:

• Disrupted I/O communication by using Parameter 54 - [Comm Flt Action].

• An idle controller by using Parameter 55 - [Idle Flt Action].

There are two ways to add the adapter 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 these 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)

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.

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 755 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.

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 adapter. 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.

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, if necessary, as the Logix controller establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 755 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 755 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.

When enabled, ADC will only occur during the network I/O connection process if it is necessary. A configuration signature is used for each port in the drive and this is checked by the Logix controller during the connection process. If a port’s configuration signature matches the corresponding signature inside the controller, then ADC does not need to be performed for that particular port.

ADC will occur the first time the Logix controller connects to the drive after ADC is enabled. This is necessary to ensure a configuration match, and to generate and write configuration signatures for each port. Future connections made by the Logix controller, such as after a reset or power loss, will first check the configuration signatures to determine if an ADC download is necessary.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013 59

Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O

TIP

IMPORTANT

TIP

ADC can also work in tandem with Firmware Supervisor. If Firmware Super visor 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.

Use with select Stratix switches to provide dynamic IP address assignment by port (requires one drive per 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.

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).

The use of Explicit Messaging to perform parameter writes in the user’s Logix program should be limited to RAM memory by setting the proper Attribute in the MSG instruction. Any writes to parameter nonvolatile storage (EEPROM) memory will clear the configuration signature and cause a mismatch the next time the Logix controller connects to the device. This will trigger ADC, which will write over any changes that were previously made.

When enabling ADC in your control system, adhere to the following recommendations:

• Enable ADC as the last step, that is, after drive configuration and commissioning is completed. This eliminates time being wasted from ‘nuisance’ ADC downloads being triggered after any parameter changes are made.

• Upload the configuration from a drive prior to enabling ADC for it. This

Version 4.01 Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs)

ensures the drive’s configuration in the project matches the actual drive.

• Enable and test ADC with one drive prior to enabling it for the entire control system. ADC can be tested by changing a parameter in a port, such as with a HIM, and resetting or cycling power to the drive.

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

• 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 using a 20-750-ENETR EtherNet/IP option module, 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’.

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 using a 20-750-ENETR EtherNet/IP option, 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.

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

Electronic Keying for the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter (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.

Recommendation

• Your system design specification requires that a replacement drive/peripheral be

identical—down to the Minor revision of firmware (x.xxx).

• You will be implementing Firmware Supervisor upgrade support in addition to ADC. ControlFLASH firmware kits for the revision of firmware used for each drive/ peripheral must be installed on the computer running RSLogix 5000 software. Upgrade files can be downloaded from:

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

Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O

IMPORTANT

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 ensure 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.

ATTENTION: If you manually download any configuration changes to the drive, the next time the Logix controller establishes an I/O connection with the drive will still trigger an ADC download. This synchronizes the configuration signatures in the controller and drive, and prevents future ADC downloads from occurring unless a configuration change was made.

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.

66 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

• 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.

Store the Drive’s and Peripherals’ Firmware in the Logix Controller (Firmware Supervisor)

The Logix Firmware Supervisor function has been extended to provide firmware updates for the peripherals connected to the drive. You must be online and in program mode with the controller to load/store the firmware supervisor settings. To configure the controller to check and refresh the correct firmware for the drive and peripherals, perform the following steps.

1. Verify that ‘Exact Match’ keying is selected in the drive’s and peripherals’ properties dialog boxes.

a. Click the General tab to view the drive’s keying. b. Right-click each peripheral on the Drive tab and choose Properties to

view the peripheral’s keying.

2. Verify that ControlFLASH firmware kits for each revision of firmware for each device that should be stored in the controller have been installed on the computer running RSLogix 5000 software.

3. Verify that a CompactFlash or other storage card has been installed in the controller.

4. Use RSLogix 5000 software to go online with the controller in Program mode.

5. Download your program if you have not done so already.

6. In the treeview, right-click the controller folder at the top of the Controller

Organizer and choose Properties.

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.

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.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013 69

Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O

IMPORTANT

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 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).

70 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013

Configuring the I/O Chapter 4

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).

A configuration signature is generated.

2. Access Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 10 [Signature ID] and record the configuration signature value stored in this parameter.

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 connection process to complete will vary from seconds to several minutes depending on several factors:

• The number of peripherals enabled for ADC.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013 71

Chapter 4 Configuring the I/O

IMPORTANT

• 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 prior to ADC taking place. Note that updating drives or peripherals will add significantly to the connection process time and will be similar to the time it takes to manually update using ControlFLASH software.

• 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.

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.

Status Indicator

STS Green Flashing Drive ready but not running, and no faults are present.

ENET Green Steady Embedded ENET adapter is properly connected and communicating on the network.

LINK Green Flashing Embedded ENET adapter is properly connected and transmitting data packets on the

Additional information may also be displayed on the HIM if it is present (upgrade status, and so forth).

If ADC is unsuccessful, the ENET status indicator will be flashing green or off, and RSLogix 5000 software can be used to get additional information. When online, the drive at issue should have a yellow triangle next to it in the

RSLogix 5000 project's I/O Configuration folder. Double-click the drive to open the Drive AOP. The Connection tab will show a Module Fault code and the Drive tab will identify issues to the Port level.

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).

• 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.

Enter the number of 32-bit words that are required for your I/O in the Input Size and Output Size boxes. Because the adapter always uses the 32bit 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 adapter 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 Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy

Configuration on page 36), the Input and Output Size settings must be

increased accordingly.

•Input Size: Start with 3 words and add 1 word for each Datalink used to

read data. For example, if 3 Datalinks—[DL To Net xx] parameters— will be used to read drive or peripheral parameters, add 3 words to the required 3 words for a total of 6 words. You can use adapter Par amet er 35 - [DLs To Net Act] to check the total number of Datalinks being used. Word 0 is a pad word, Word 1 is Logic Status, Word 2 is Speed Feedback, Word 3 is DL To Net 01, and so forth (see Figure 9

•Output Size: Start with 2 words and add 1 word for each Datalink

used to write data. For example, if 7 Datalinks—[DL From Net xx] parameters—will be used to write to drive or peripheral parameters, add 7 words to the required 2 words for a total of 9 words. You can use adapter Parameter 34 - [DLs From Net Act] to check the total number of Datalinks being used.

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

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

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 adapter 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 Datalink to the basic I/O Input Size and/or Output Size.

Chapter 5 Using the I/O

Understanding the ControlLogix Controller 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:

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

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 adapter. The Logic Status is a 32-bit word of status data produced by the adapter 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 in the input image 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) word of control data produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter. The Feedback is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) word of status data produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller.

When using a ControlLogix controller, the 32-bit REAL Reference word is always DINT 1 in the output image (see Ta b l e 2 word is always:

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

• DINT 2 in the input image when using the Generic Profile.

D, Logic Command/Status Words: PowerFlex

) and the 32-bit REAL Feedback

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 16

The Reference and Feedback 32-bit REAL values represent drive speed. The scaling for the speed Reference and Feedback is 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 3 References and their results for a PowerFlex 750-Series drive that has its:

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 the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter and any or all option modules installed in the drive.

• The data passed through the drive’s Datalink mechanism is determined by the settings of adapter Parameters 01…16 - [DL From Net 01-16] and 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) memory. 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 (the 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

82 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM001E-EN-P - October 2013

TIP

Using the I/O Chapter 5

drive, the drive does not allow a reset to defaults, configuration download, or anything else that 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

When you add the adapter and drive to the I/O configuration (Chapter 4), RSLogix 5000 software automatically creates generic (non-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 program requires nineteen 32-bit words of data (Figure 14 eighteen 32-bit words of data (Figure 15

The Datalink data used in the example program is shown in Figure 18. 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 adapter 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.

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.

About Explicit Messaging

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 ‘Connected’ 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.

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

• DPI Parameter Object section on page 148

• Host DPI Parameter Object section on page 162

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.

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.

➎

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.

The controller retrieves the Explicit Message Response from the scanner’s buffer (upload).

The Explicit Message is complete.

For information on the maximum number of Explicit Messages that can be executed at a time, see the documentation for the bridge or scanner and/or controller that is being used.

from the pull-down menu, an appropriate Hex. value is automatically assigned to the Ser vice Code box which is dimmed (unavailable). When reading 32-bit REAL (floating point) parameters, as in this example, data conversion using COP (Copy) instructions or UDDTs is required to correctly show the parameter values.

its Data Type field set to ‘DINT[10]’. Also, the Source Length field on the Message Configuration dialog box must correspond to the selected Data Type in bytes (for this example, 40 bytes for a DINT[10] array). Scattered read messages always assume that every parameter being read is a 32-bit parameter, regardless of its actual size. Maximum message length is 256 bytes which can read up to 32 param eters, regardl ess of their size. For parameter numbering, see DPI Parameter Object code 0x9F).

(for this example, a UDDT to handle conversions to parameter values that are a REAL data type).

ControlLogix Controller Example Scattered Read Request Data

In this message example, we use the data structure in Figure 26 in the source tag named Scattered Read Request to read these five 32-bit REAL (floating point) parameters in a PowerFlex 750-Series drive:

• Parameter 001 - [Output Frequency]

• Parameter 007 - [Output Current]

• Parameter 008 - [Output Voltage]

• Parameter 009 - [Output Power]

• Parameter 011 - [DC Bus Volts]

See DPI Parameter Object

Parameter Object on page 162 (Class code 0x9F) for parameter numbering.

Figure 26 - Example Scattered Read Request Data

ControlLogix Controller Example Scattered Read Response Data

The Scattered Read Request message reads the multiple parameters and returns their values to the destination tag (Scattered_Read_Response). Figure 27 the parameter values which, in this example, have been converted using a UDDT for correct presentation. COP (Copy) instructions could have been used for this purpose instead of a UDDT. If the parameters being read are a 32-bit integers, do not COP the data to a REAL tag.

In this message example, the parameters have the following values:

PowerFlex 750-Series Drive Parameter Read Value
