Preface Overview

The Studio 5000™ Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio 5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000 software and will continue to be the product to program Logix 5000 controllers for discrete, process, batch, motion, safety, and drive-based solutions. The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell Automation engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for design engineers to develop all the elements of their control system.

RSLogix 5000 software (version 20) was used for the screen captures in this manual. Different versions of the software may differ in appearance and procedures.

The PowerFlex 520-series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive consists of PowerFlex 525 (used in the examples throughout this manual) and PowerFlex 523.

Features

Understanding Parameter

Types

The features of the Dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter include:

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

Switches to set a network node address before applying power to the drive—or you can disable the switches and use a BOOTP server, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, or adapter parameters to configure the IP address.

Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the adapter and host drive. The tools include the PowerFlex 4/40-class HIM (Human Interface Module 22-HIM-A3 or 22-HIM-C2S), and drive-configuration software such as RSLogix 5000 (version 17 or greater), Logix Designer (version 21 or greater), and Connected Components Workbench (version 3 or greater).

Status indicators that report the status of the adapter and network communications.

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

Explicit Messaging support.

Master-Slave hierarchy that can be configured to transmit data to and from a controller on the network.

Multi-drive mode which allows up to five drives to share a single EtherNet/IP node.

User-defined fault actions to determine how the adapter and its host PowerFlex 520-series drive respond to:

I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)

Controllers in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)

Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is an RSLogix 5000 (version 20 or greater) and Logix Designer (version 21 or greater) software feature that supports the automatic download of configuration data upon the Logix controller establishing an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 520-series drive and its associated peripherals.

This manual references two types of parameters:

Device parameters are used to configure the adapter to operate on the network. These parameters reside on the adapter.

Host parameters are used to configure the drive, including the datalink configuration for the datalinks used by the adapter. These parameters reside on the drive.

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. Device parameters 23 [Comm Flt Action] and 24 [Idle Flt Action] let you determine the action of the adapter and drive if I/O communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, 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 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.

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 or greater) 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 adapter is a multicast device. In most situations, an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two adapters are connected to the switch, a managed switch is required—otherwise the drive may fault on a Net I/O Timeout network loss. The adapter, RSLogix 5000 (version 18 or greater), Logix Designer (version 21 or greater), 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.

Rockwell Automation Publication 520COM-UM003A-EN-E - June 2013

15

Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter

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 stand-alone 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.

See Specifications on page 123 for the number of CIP connections supported by the adapter.

Verify that you have all required equipment. See Required Equipment on page 11.

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, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.

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

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

Setting the Node Address

There are four methods for configuring the adapter’s node address:

 

• Node Address Switches — Use these switches when working on a simple

 

isolated network (for example, 192.168.1.xxx) that has other products

 

with switches to set their IP addresses, does not need to be accessed from

 

outside the network, and you prefer a simplified node addressing method.

 

The three rotary switches are read when the drive powers up, and represent

 

three decimal digits from top to bottom (see Setting the Node Address

 

Switches on page 18). When 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 a gateway address of 0.0.0.0 when switches are set to 001, or a gateway

 

address of 192.168.1.1 when switches are set from 002...254. Also, the

 

setting for Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] is automatically ignored.

16

Rockwell Automation Publication 520COM-UM003A-EN-E - June 2013

Installing the Adapter

Chapter 2

 

 

See Setting the Node Address Switches on page 18 and its accompanying table for all possible switch settings and their related descriptions.

IMPORTANT When using the Node Address switches, set the network node address before power is applied because the adapter uses the node 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 Node Address switches must be set to a value other than 001...254 or 888, and Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] must be set to 1“Parameters”. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses will then come from the parameters you set. See Using Adapter Parameters on page 31for more information.

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

BOOTP Server — Use BOOTP when you want to configure a temporary IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the adapter using a BOOTP server. To use BOOTP as the source for the IP address, the Node Address switches must be set to a value other than 001...254 or 888, and Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] must be set to 2 “BOOTP”.

Note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the adapter’s data nameplate label located on the provided control module back cover, which will be used in Step 7 when configuring the BOOTP server (see Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 28 for details).

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) — Use DHCP, the default, when you want additional flexibility and ease-of-use compared to BOOTP in configuring the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the adapter using a DHCP server. To use DHCP as the source for the IP address, the Node Address switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] must be set to 3 “DHCP”.

Note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the adapter’s data nameplate label located on the provided control module back cover, which will be used in Step 7 when configuring the DHCP server (see Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 28 for details).

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

Linear or DLR Network Topology—Route the other end of the Ethernet cable from the network through the bottom of the first drive, and insert its cable plug into the option module ENET1 network port.

To connect to the second drive, attach another Ethernet cable between the first drive’s option module ENET2 network port and the second drive’s option module ENET1 network port.

To connect additional drives, repeat these daisy-chain connections in the same way.

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.

Apply power to the drive. The adapter receives its power from the drive.

Startup Status Indication

After power has been applied, the status indicators can be viewed on the front of the drive. When you apply power to the adapter for the first time, the status indicators should be green after an initialization. If the status indicators go red, there is a problem. See Troubleshooting on page 115.

Configuring/Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 525 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.

Configuring the Host parameters can be done using the drive’s keypad, a HIM, and software such as RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer, or Connected Components Workbench. In the following example, the drive will receive the Logic Command and Reference from the network.

1.Set the value of Host parameter P046 [Start Source 1] to 4 “Network Opt”.

Rockwell Automation Publication 520COM-UM003A-EN-E - June 2013

23

Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter

2.Set the value of Host parameter P047 [Speed Reference1] to 4 “Network Opt”.

TIP

The PowerFlex 525 drive supports up to three control functions and

 

three Reference functions.

For more information on how to set different combinations of the control and Reference functions, see the PowerFlex 525 drive user manual,

publication 520-UM001.

Commissioning the Adapter

To commission the adapter, you must set a unique network node address. See the

 

Glossary on page 161 for details about IP addresses. When using the Node

 

Address switches, see Setting the Node Address on page 15 for details. When not

 

using these switches, a BOOTP or DHCP server, or adapter parameters can be

 

used to set the node 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 node address using a

 

DHCP server. For details, see Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 28. To

 

set the node address using adapter parameters, see Using Adapter Parameters on

 

page 31.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT New settings for some adapter parameters (for example, Device parameters 06

 

[IP Addr Cfg 1] through 09 [IP Addr Cfg 4]) are recognized only when power

 

is applied to the adapter or it is reset. After you change parameter settings,

 

cycle drive power or reset the adapter.

Setting the Adapter Node

Address

To display the Host parameters, repeat steps 1 through 3 and select “PowerFlex 525” at step 3.

When the Node Address switches (see Setting the Node Address Switches on page 18) are set to a value other than 001...254 or 888, Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] determines the source for the adapter node address. By default, the Node Address switches are set to 999 and Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] is set to 3 “DHCP”. This combination selects a DHCP server as the source for the node address. To use a BOOTP or DHCP server to set the node address, see Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 28. To use adapter parameters, see Using Adapter Parameters on page 31.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Adapter

Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server

By default, the adapter is configured to accept an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from a DHCP server. You can select from a variety of DHCP/ BOOTP utilities.

The instructions below use the DHCP/BOOTP Utility (version 2.3 or greater), a free stand-alone program from Rockwell Automation that incorporates the functionality of standard DHCP/BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from http://www.ab.com/networks/ethernet/bootp.html. See the Readme file and online Help for directions and more information.

TIP

If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask,

 

and gateway address using parameters. For details, see Using Adapter

 

Parameters on page 31.

Configuring the Adapter Using a DHCP/BOOTP Utility

1.Depending on the type of server (BOOTP or DHCP) being used, set Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] to either 2 “BOOTP” or 3 “DHCP” respectively.

Options 1 “Parameters”

2 “BOOTP”

3“DHCP” (Default)

2.Verify and note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC), which will be used in Step 7. There are two ways to do this:

Use the PowerFlex 525 drive’s keypad or a HIM to access the diagnostic items of the drive. Scroll to items 34 [HW Addr 1] through 39 [HW Addr 6] to view the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC). Finally, convert these decimal values to a hex value.

Locate the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) label on the ENET1/ENET2 ports (provided with the adapter).

3.On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the BOOTP/DHCP software. The BOOTP/DHCP Server window appears.

4.To properly configure devices on your EtherNet/IP network, you must configure settings in the BOOTP/DHCP software to match the network. Select Tools > Network Settings to display the Network Settings window.

5. Edit the following:

Box

Type

Subnet Mask(1)

The subnet mask for the adapter’s network.

Gateway(1)

The IP address of the gateway device on the adapter’s network.

Primary DNS

The address of the primary DNS server to be used on the local end of the link for

 

negotiating with remote devices.

Secondary DNS

Optional – the address of the secondary DNS server to be used on the local end of the

 

link for negotiating with remote devices when the primary DNS server is unavailable.

Domain Name

The text name corresponding to the numeric IP address that was assigned to the server

 

that controls the network.

9.Click OK to apply the settings. The adapter appears in the Relation List with the new settings.

10.To assign this configuration to the adapter, select the device in the Relation List and click Disable BOOTP/DHCP. When power is cycled on the drive, the adapter will use the configuration you assigned it and not issue new BOOTP/DHCP requests.

TIP

To enable BOOTP for an embedded adapter that has had BOOTP

 

disabled, first select the adapter in the Relation List. Then, depending

 

on the type of server, click Enable BOOTP or Enable DHCP and,

 

lastly, reset the adapter or power cycle the drive.

11. To save the Relation List, select File > Save.
