AutoMax Network Communication Option Board
CHAPTER 1
This manual describes the AutoMax™ Network Communication Option Board
(M/N 915FK0101). This board enables a FlexPak™ 3000 or a WebPak™ 3000 DC
drive to be operated and monitored over the AutoMax network.
For normal operation, the drive can be completely controlled using the AutoMax
Network Option board. This allows use of only a network interface connection,
hardwired emergency stop, and three-phase input and output power wiring. Drive
control (such as start, stop, and reset), reference changes, parameter modification,
and drive monitoring can all be performed over the AutoMax network.

1.5AutoMax Network Option Board Description
1-2
The AutoMax Network Option board makes the FlexPak 3000 or WebPak 3000 drive a
slave drop on the AutoMax network. It is a printed circuit board assembly that mounts
inside the drive and connects to the drive’s Regulator board through a ribbon cable.
The Network Option board is powered from the standard drive power supply.
The Network Option board has a 9-pin D-shell connector that connects to a network
drop cable (M/N 57C381). The network drop cable is then connected to a passive tap
on the AutoMax network.
The board contains its own microprocessor. The microprocessor connects to one port
of the board’s dual-port memory. The other port interfaces with the drive’s Regulator
board.

Drive Configuration
This section describes how to configure a FlexPak 3000 or WebPak 3000 drive for use
with an AutoMax network.
3.1Setting Up the Drive for Network Communication
The drive becomes active on the AutoMax network after you complete the following
steps:
Step 1.Connect the Network Option board to the network using a passive tap. See
section 2.2.
Step 2.Apply power to the drive.
Step 3.Assign a valid AutoMax network drop number to the drive using parameter
NETWDROPNUMBER (P.900). You must set this parameter through the drive
keypad (
WebPakCS). This drop number is the base drop the drive will occupy. In this
manual, the base drop number is called Drop_1.

Step 4.Set the network connection type using NETWCONNECTTYPE (P.910). This
defines the scope of data that will be communicated. It also determines the
level of control that the master has with the connected drive. You can select
one of two connection types:
• BASIC: Only essential drive data (reference, sequencing, basic tuning, and
• FULL: The entire set of drive data that has been assigned network
OIM or DCM) or using drive configuration software (CS3000 or

density network with moderate functionality. Select this connection type if
you do not need to completely configure the drive over the network. When
BASIC is selected, the drive occupies a single network drop.
registers is transferred over the network. Select this connection type if
your application must be able to configure the drive over the network and
have access to most parameters, operating variables, and diagnostic
information.
The large amount of data transferred in the full connection type requires
that the drive occupy multiple network drops, thus decreasing the
potential number of devices on the network.

3.2Selecting a Network Reference Source
AMXNETWREFSELECT (P.911) specifies the source of the speed/torque reference
when
CONTROLSOURCESELECT (P.000) is set to NETWORK. You can select either:
• DIRECT: The reference is from register 33 in the drive’s Drop_1 register map. See
table 5.4 (FlexPak 3000 original map), table 6.4 (FlexPak 3000 alternate map), or
table 7.5 (WebPak 3000 map).
• BROADCAST n: The reference is from one of the eight network broadcast data
registers (network drop area 0, registers 32 to 39). The specific broadcast register
(1 to 8) is assigned using a register in the drive’s Drop_1 register map. See
register 30 in table 5.3 (FlexPak 3000 original map), register 63 in table 6.6 (FlexPak
3000 alternate map), or register 30 in table 7.4 (WebPak 3000 map). See the
Network Communications Module instruction manual (J2-3001) for information on
broadcast data registers.
3.3How the Drive Responds to a Loss of Network
Communication
The Network Option board attempts to remain active on the network at all times,
regardless of the control source setting.
At power up, the drive delays for approximately 10 seconds before indicating a loss of
network communication.
If communication is interrupted:
• The Network Option board immediately notifies the drive Regulator.
• The Network Option board tries to re-establish communication with the network
master.
• For FlexPak 3000 drives, if CONTROLSOURCESELECT (P.000) is set to NETWORK, the
drive reacts to a network communication loss as specified by
SELECT (P.901).
• For WebPak 3000 drives, a fault is generated when network communication is lost if
CONTROLSOURCESELECT (P.000) is set to NETWORK.
• If the drive includes an OIM, the NETWORK indicator above the CONTROLSOURCE
SELECT key blinks to indicate that network communication is inactive.

NETWCOMMLOSSSELECT (P.901) is not used in WebPak 3000 drives. For
WebPak 3000 drives, a fault is generated when network communication is lost if
CONTROLSOURCESELECT (P.000) is set to NETWORK. This causes the drive to coast/DB
stop. The drive cannot be restarted until the fault is cleared.
You must provide some form of hardwired stop in case of communication
loss, since stopping the drive over the network might not be possible.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury or damage
to, or destruction of, equipment.

CHAPTER 4
Programming
This section describes the organization of data in the AutoMax Network
Communication Option board and how the network accesses the data.
4.1Selecting a Register Map (FlexPak 3000 Drives Only)
There are two register maps available for the FlexPak 3000 drive: original and
alternate.
The original register map allows you to use programs developed for versions earlier
than 4.0 of the FlexPak 3000 drive. Register assignments for the original register map
are listed in chapter 5.
The alternate register map is similar to the original register map, except that the most
commonly accessed data is in the base drop area (Drop_1). The alternate register
map also includes functions that were added in regulator software version

4.3About Network Transfer Rates
To transfer data, the Network Option board must be communicating with the master.
To transfer input data, the Network Option board must be communicating with the
master and
CONTROLSOURCESELECT (P.000) must be set to NETWORK.
Programming
Data transfer rates between the Network Option board and Regulator board depend
on the type of data being transferred.
4-1
Data can be input or output data.
Input data is one of three types:
• Control/Reference: Data that require the fastest update rates, including data such
as the sequencing inputs (Stop, Run, Jog, Fwd/Rev) and speed/torque reference.
These inputs are transferred every speed loop scan period. An exception to this
occurs if the drive is configured to get its torque reference from the network. If the
torque reference is from the network, the drive reads the
CML reference from the
Network Option board every current minor loop scan.
•
Tunable:
TIME
Data that can be changed while the drive is running, such as
ACCELERATION
(P.001). Tunable inputs are transferred approximately every 600 msec while the
drive is running or stopped.
• Configurable: Data that cannot be changed while the drive is running, such as
CONTROLSOURCESELECT (P.000). Configurable inputs are transferred from the
Network Option board to the Regulator board approximately every 600 msec when
the drive is stopped. Values sent from the network master while the drive is running
are stored in Network Option board memory but are not scanned into Regulator
board memory until the drive is stopped.
Output data is one of two types:
• Runtime Signal: Data such as the selected speed reference value, drive status
(such as ready or running), drive fault flags, the state of terminal strip digital inputs,
and motor status values (
speed loop scan period.
RPM, VOLTS, AMPS). This information is transferred every
• Tunable, Configurable, and Status: All other information provided by the drive.
This typically includes all stored drive parameter values. Tunable, configurable, and
status data are transferred approximately every 600 msec.
Output data is transferred from the Regulator board to the Network Option board
regardless of the status of AutoMax network communication (active or inactive) or the
selected drive control source (
For FlexPak 3000 drives, the speed loop scan period is 10 msec when
SELECT (P.200) is set to ARMATUREVOLT. It is 5 msec when FEEDBACKSELECT (P.200) is
set to any other value.
For WebPak 3000 drives, the speed loop scan period is 10 msec.

4.4Setting Up Data Types That Can Be Transferred
You must enable the transfer of tunable and configurable inputs from the Network
Option board to the Regulator board. Until you enable transfer, only control/reference
data are read by the Regulator board.
To enable transfer of tunable and configurable data, set the network-master-controlled
Tune/Config Input Enable bit (Drop_1, register 32, bit 14) to 1.
For example, the master application program would typically:
1. Initialize the tunable and configurable input data in the dual-port memory of the
master’s Network module
2. Delay for an appropriate amount of time to ensure data have been transferred to
the drive
3. Set the Tune/Config Input Enable bit to 1.
If you only want to transfer control/reference data, leave the Tune/Config Input Enable
bit at 0 (off). This forces you to configure the drive through another source, such as the
OIM, CS3000 software, or WebPakCS software, but allows you to control the drive
(including
RUN, JOG, STOP, RESET, and the reference) from the network master.
Programming
4-3
4.5Tune/Config Update Synchronization Flag
This flag allows the network master application program to track when the drive has
updated tunable and configurable inputs. By toggling the tune/config update
synchronization flag in the master and monitoring the copied value from the drive, the
master’s program can determine when the drive has read in that data. This feature has
no effect on drive operation.
The drive regulator copies the tune/config update synchronization flag bit to its
corresponding loopback bit after it has read in and processed all tunable input
registers. Configurable inputs are only read in by the drive while it is not running. This
will not affect copying the synchronization flag to the loopback bit, since tunable inputs
will still be transferred.
When using WebPak 3000 indirect parameters, use the tune/config update
synchronization flag with the network synchronization flag as described in section 7.1.
To use the synchronization flag, the tune/config input enable bit must be set to 1.
To determine when changes to tunable and configurable data in the drive have been
completed, the master:
1. Modifies the tunable and configurable register data in the appropriate network
registers.
2. Sets the tune/config input enable flag.
3. Toggles the tune/config update synchronization flag.
4. Monitors the tune/config update synchronization flag loopback bit until it equals
the value written in item 3, above.
The tune/config update synchronization flag is defined in the first drop of the drive
network drop connection. Therefore, it can only be used to indicate when data for the
first drop has been read in and processed by the drive.

Alternative Synchronization Methods
The tune/config update synchronization flag applies only to Drop_1. To determine if
the drive received data written to other drops, you must use other methods.
One method is to program a delay after writing to the network master’s memory.
Calculate the delay as needed for the number of drops on the network, adding
600 msec for processing time. See your AutoMax documentation for information on
calculating the delay.

Note that this method assumes that all requirements have been met for the drive to
obtain its inputs from the network (see figure 4.1).
4.6Monitoring Unacceptable Parameter Values
The parameter processing error status flag (FlexPak drives: Drop_1, register 0, bit 12;
WebPak drives: Drop_1, register 0, bit 13) allows the network master to monitor
parameter values that are unacceptable to the drive.
When this flag is set to 1, one or more parameters sent to the drive were rejected.
When this flag is set to 0, all parameters sent to the drive were accepted.
Note that the Tune/Config Inputs Enable bit (Drop_1, register 32, bit 14) must be set
to 1 before the drive will read or process any tune/config parameters. The parameter
processing error flag is updated approximately every 600 msec.
More information on parameter processing errors is available when using the
FlexPak 3000 alternate register map (see section 6.2) or the WebPak 3000 register
map (see section 7.1).
4.7Timing Requirements
The amount of time required by the network master to transmit data to the drive
depends on the number of active drops on the network. This time is referred to as the
“data update time.” Refer to I/M J2-3001 for details on calculating this time.
Tunable and configurable drive input register values must be maintained by the
network master’s application program for the data update time plus at least 600 msec
to assure that they are read by the drive.
Most of the control/reference data types do not have this 600 msec requirement
because they are read by the drive every 5 or 10 msec.
To start the drive, the Run and Jog inputs must be set to 0 for at least 20 msec, then
set to 1 for at least 20 msec (a 0-to-1 transition). The drive might delay the start for up
to 100 msec after receiving the 0-to-1 transition because of variable processing
delays.
For the following actions, the inputs must be set to 0 for at least 600 msec, then set to
1 for at least 600 msec (a 0-to-1 transition):
• Fault log clear
• Alarm log clear
• Alarm reset
• Memory save
Programming
To reset faults, the inputs must be set to 0 for at least 10 msec, then set to 1 for at
least 10 msec (a 0-to-1 transition).

4.8Drive Ready Status Bit
The Drive Ready status bit (Drop_1, register 0, bit 0) indicates that a 0-to-1 transition
on the Run or Jog input will start the drive.
FlexPak 3000 drives: The Drive Ready bit is
conditions are met, and
OFF (0) if any one of these conditions is not met:
ON (1) when all of the following
• No drive faults are active (Drop_1, register 0, bit 2 = 0)
• Network stop input is de-asserted (Drop_1, register 32, bit 1 = 1)
• Front-panel STOP/RESET button is not pressed
• Coast/DB Stop terminal strip input is closed (Drop_1, register 0, bit 10 = 1)
• Customer Interlock terminal strip input is closed (Drop_1, register 0, bit 11 = 1)
• A download from the serial port (using the CS3000 software) is not in progress
WebPak 3000 drives: The Drive Ready bit is on (1) when all of the following
conditions are met, and off (0) if any one of these conditions is not met:

4.9Display of Parameter Values Over the
AutoMax Network
The display of parameter values on the network will be different than the display when
on the
OIM, DCM, or when using CS3000 or WebPakCS software.
Examples of these differences are shown in table 4.2. Refer to the register maps in
chapters 5 and 6 for detail on the scaling parameter for transfer over the AutoMax
network.
