Features

The features of the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter include:

• Switches to set an IP address before applying power to the drive—or

you can disable the switches and use a BOOTP server or adapter parameters to configure the IP address.

• Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the

embedded EtherNet/IP adapter and host drive. The tools include the enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class HIM (Human Interface Module) on the drive, and drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer (version 6.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version 5.01 or higher).

• 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-configurable 32-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet

application requirements (16 for writing data from the network, and 16 for reading data to the network).

• 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.

• User-defined fault actions to determine how the embedded EtherNet/

IP adapter and its host PowerFlex 755 drive respond to:

– 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 and

the CIP Register Object (Msg Flt Action)

• Web pages, viewed using a web browser, that show information

about the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, its host drive, and DPI devices connected to the drive.

• Configurable 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.

• Support for DPI routing, enabling access to any networked

PowerFlex 7-Class drive using DriveExplorer (version 6.01 or higher) to monitor and configure that drive and its connected peripherals.

Compatible Products

Required Equipment

At the time of publication, the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is compatible with Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 750-Series drives.

Equipment Shipped with the Drive

Since the EtherNet/IP adapter is embedded on the Main Control Board in the PowerFlex 755 drive, it is always an integral part of the drive and, therefore, is not shipped with installation instructions.

User-Supplied Equipment

To configure the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, you must supply:

❑ A small flathead screwdriver ❑ Ethernet cable (for details, refer to the EtherNet/IP Media Planning

and Installation Manual, publication ENET-IN001)

❑ Ethernet switch (for details, refer to the EtherNet/IP Performance

Application Solution, publication ENET-AP001)

❑ Configuration tool, such as:

– Enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class HIM (20-HIM-A6/C6S) – DriveExplorer (version 6.01 or higher) – DriveExecutive stand-alone software (version 5.01 or higher) or

bundled with the DriveTools SP suite (version 5.01 or higher)

– BOOTP Server (version 2.1 or higher) for network setup only

❑ Controller configuration software (such as RSLogix 5/500/5000) ❑ A PC connection to the EtherNet/IP network

Safety Precautions

Please read the following safety precautions carefully.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar with drive and power products and the

associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, start up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the drive using this embedded adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The embedded adapter contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)

sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when handling the adapter. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, refer to Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage (publication 8000-4.5.2).

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive

may fault when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting 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 can set these parameters so that the drive continues to run. 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.

Preparing for an Installation

Before installing the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter:

• Read the EtherNet/IP Performance and Application Guide

(publication ENET-AP001) and EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual (publication ENET-IN001).

• Understand IGMP Snooping/Ethernet Switches

Much of EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging uses IP multicast (including this embedded EtherNet/IP adapter) 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 re-transmitted 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 “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.

• Verify that you have all required equipment. Refer to Required

Equipment on page 1-3.

2-2 Installing the Adapter

Setting the IP Address Switches

There are three methods for configuring the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter’s 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 (see Figure 2.1 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 2.1 settings and their related descriptions.

Important:When using the adapter rotary switches, set the IP

addresses of devices using a server. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses will then be provided by the BOOTP server.

and its accompanying table for all possible switch

). If set to a valid address (001-254), the

• 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. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses will then come from the adapter parameters you set.

Important:Regardless of the method used to set the adapter’s 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/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. Use drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed

Reference to “Port 13 Reference” (the drive port dedicated to the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter).

2. Verify that drive Parameter 930 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting

that the source of the Reference to the drive is “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/adapter or the network is the cause.

Commissioning the Adapter

3. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the

drive, verify that all unused digital input parameters are set to “Not Used.”

To commission the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, you must set a unique IP address. See the Glossary When using the adapter switches, refer to Setting the IP Address

Switches on page 2-2. When not using the adapter switches, use either a

BOOTP server or adapter parameters 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 BOOTP set the IP address using adapter parameters, refer to Setting the IP

Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 3-5.

Important: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.

3-2 Configuring the Adapter

Using BOOTP

By default, the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is configured to set its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP utility. You can select from a variety of BOOTP utilities. These instructions use Rockwell’s BOOTP Server (version 2.3 or higher), a stand-alone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from www.ab.com/networks/

bootp.html. Refer to the Readme file and online Help for detailed

directions and information.

TIP: If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address by setting adapter parameters. For details, see Setting the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway

Address on page 3-5.

Configuring the Adapter Using BOOTP Server

1. Verify and note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC),

which will be used in Step 6. There are two ways to do this:

– Use the HIM to scroll to Port 13 and access the embedded

EtherNet/IP adapter’s DIAGNOSTIC folder screen. Then scroll to Diagnostic Items 43 (HW Addr 1) through 48 (HW Addr 6) to view the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC).

– Remove the drive cover and locate the adapter’s hardware

3-8 Configuring the Adapter

Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer

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 bridge or controller. In a Peer-to-Peer hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with one or more EtherNet/IP adapters in other PowerFlex 750-Series drives. (The drives must have compatible Logic Command/Status words).

For both Master-Slave and Peer-to-Peer hierarchies, the devices exchanging data must be on the same IP subnet. See “IP Addresses” in the Glossary

Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy

Enabling Datalinks To Write Data

The controller output image (controller outputs-to-drive) can have anywhere from 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 connection sizes.

for information about IP subnets.

4 for more information on setting the

Important:Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive

numerical order, starting with the first parameter. For example, use Parameters 01, 02, and 03 to configure 3 Datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.

TIP: When using a ControlLogix controller and an RSLogix 5000 Add-On Drive Profile (v16 or higher), there is no need to configure Datalink parameters at this time. They will be assigned when configuring the RSLogix 5000 Add-On Drive Profile (see Adding the

Drive/Adapter to the I/O Configuration on page 4-5).

When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, or a PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 controller, configure the Datalink parameters now as described in this section.

Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through 16 - [DL From Net 16] control which parameters in the drive, adapter, or any other connected peripheral receive the values from the network. The enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class HIM, DriveExplorer, and DriveExecutive provide user-friendly screens to help 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

Configuring the Adapter 3-9

drive Port 5. Using the formula, the value for Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] would be (10000 * 5) + (3) = 50003.

1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous Datalink

parameters 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. If the controller is going to be used for speed reference via the adapter, set Parameter 545 [Speed Ref A Sel] in a PowerFlex 755 drive to “Port 13 Reference” (the drive port dedicated to the embedded EtherNet/IP 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. Refer to the documentation for your drive for details.

The adapter is ready to receive input data from the master (controller). You must now configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the adapter. Refer to Chapter

Enabling Datalinks To Read Data

The controller input image (drive-to-controller inputs) can have anywhere from 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 respective controller example sections in Chapter connection sizes.

Important:Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive

numerical order, starting with the first parameter. For example, use Parameters 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 to configure 5 Datalinks to read data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.

When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, or a PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 controller, configure the Datalink parameters now as described in this section.

3-10 Configuring the Adapter

Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16] control which parameters in the drive, adapter, or any other connected peripheral send the values to the network. The enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class HIM, DriveExplorer, and DriveExecutive provide user-friendly screens to help 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:

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 4. Using the formula, the value for Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] would be (10000 * 4) + (2) = 40002.

1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous Datalink parameters 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 ready to send output data to the master (controller). You must now configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the adapter. Refer to Chapter

Setting the Adapter to Transmit Peer-to-Peer Data

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.

Important: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.

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 present data. Parameter 90 controls how many transmit opportunities can be skipped if the data to be transmitted has not changed.

4, Configuring the I/O.

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

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 “1” (Bipolar) 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).

Custom Peer I/O Configuration

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

Important: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.

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.

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

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. This must match the number of parameters transmitted by the master. Set Parameter 76

- [DLs Fr 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 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 Master-Slave 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.

4. 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.

Setting a Fault Action

By default, when I/O communications are 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. You can configure a different response to:

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

Action].

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

• Disrupted Peer I/O by using Parameter 56 - [Peer Flt Action].

• Disrupted explicit messaging for drive control via PCCC and the CIP

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] respectively 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 can set these parameters so that the drive continues to run. 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 network cable, controller in idle state or explicit message control disruption).

Resetting the Adapter

Restoring Adapter Parameters to Factory Defaults

Changes to switch settings and some adapter parameters require that you reset the adapter before the new settings take effect. You can reset the adapter by cycling power to the drive or by using the HIM’s Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

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.

Adapter parameters can be restored in two ways:

• ALL—restores ALL adapter parameters to their factory default

values.

• MOST—restores MOST adapter parameters—except the following

which are used for network setup:

Example Network

After the adapter is configured, the drive and adapter will be a single node on the network. This section provides the steps needed to configure a simple EtherNet/IP network (see Figure 4.2 example, we will configure a 1756-ENBT (Series A) bridge to communicate with a drive using Logic Command/Status, Reference/ Feedback, and 32 Datalinks (16 to read/16 to write) over the network.

Configuring the I/O 4-5

Using RSLogix 5000 Add-On Drive Profiles (v16 or Higher)

When compared to using the Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 Add-On Drive 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 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

v16 project file (.ACD) and also downloaded to the controller.

Adding the Drive/Adapter to the I/O Configuration

Three buttons at the bottom left of the Module Definition screen are provided for your convenience to perform specific functions:

• Create Database: Clicking this button enables you to create a

database from an online network device. Thereafter, the database appears in the list for selection on the Module Definition screen.

• Web Update: Clicking this button opens the Allen-Bradley Web

Updates web site for downloading product-specific firmware update files.

• Match Drive: This button is useful when the drive being added

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

On the Module Definition screen, notice that the Drive Status, Feedback, Logic Command, and Reference are always used.

However, when using Datalinks you must still assign adapter Parameters 01-16 - [DL From Net 01-16] and Parameters 17-32

A. Click the button in the topmost blank row to display the

Parameter Properties screen for the corresponding Datalink.

Important:Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive

Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.

Limitations When Using PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix 1100

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

ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers with EtherNet/IP provide the easiest and most integrated form of implicit I/O control for a PowerFlex drive. RSLogix 5000 v16 (and higher) programming software for ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers contains integrated profiles for PowerFlex drives that, with a few clicks of the mouse, automatically create all controller tags and an implicit connection at the specified Requested Packet Interval to control the drive. This connection is monitored at both ends to ensure that the controller and drive are communicating. A watchdog will cause a drive fault if the drive does not respond within approximately 100 milliseconds. Therefore, using a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller is by far the much preferred method of controlling drives on EtherNet/IP.

If you are not using either of these type of controllers, then PowerFlex drives on EtherNet/IP can be controlled with explicit messages using PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 controllers with the following limitations:

• An explicit message is a much slower form of control and is

non-deterministic. This means that you cannot guarantee how long the drive will take to start up or stop when the command is given. Therefore, all equipment used in this manner should be subject to a risk assessment, taking into account the mechanical and electrical implementation.

• A timeout value (in seconds) in the drive will issue a drive fault if a

message is not received from the controller within the specified time. However, the controller has no way of detecting a loss of communications to the drive until the next cycle of explicit messages. This is another factor in the risk assessment.

• Any additional drives to be controlled will require additional explicit

messages for their control, and they need to be carefully sequenced. Most controllers have small communication queues (refer to its User Manual), which need to be carefully managed if messages are not to be lost.

• Each controller has a limited number of communication connections

(refer to its User Manual for maximum connections), which will limit the number of drives that can be connected.

In summary, unlike a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller, programming a PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 controller using RSLogix 5 or RSLogix 500 software with explicit messages is a lot more difficult, and produces a far more complex program.

Important:The PLC-5 must be Series E (Rev. D.1 or higher) to support

the MultiHop feature that routes messaging to the drive.

Example Network

After the adapter is configured, the connected drive and adapter will be a single node on the network. This section provides the steps needed to configure a simple EtherNet/IP network (see Figure 4.25 example, we will configure a PLC-5/40E controller to communicate with a drive using Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and 32 Datalinks (16 to read/16 to write) over the network.

Configuring Parameters for Network I/O

Since the I/O for the drive is message-based, there is no need to configure any I/O inside the RSLogix 5 (v7 or higher) project until using the I/O as described in Chapter 5

However, to get the adapter to operate with the I/O created in Chapter 5, we need to configure the adapter to accept the I/O and the drive to point to the appropriate Datalinks.

Since the adapter always uses the 32-bit Logic Status and 32-bit Feedback, at least two 32-bit words must be accounted for in the controller input image. The adapter also uses the 32-bit Logic Command and 32-bit Reference, requiring at least two 32-bit words that must be accounted for in the controller output image. If any or all of the drive’s sixteen 32-bit Datalinks are used (see Setting a Master-Slave

Hierarchy on page 3-8 or Custom Peer I/O Configuration on page 3-11):

• An additional 32-bit word for each [DL From Net xx] Datalink used

to write to drive or peripheral parameters must be accounted for in the controller input image.

Since the I/O for the drive is message-based, there is no need to configure any I/O inside the RSLogix 500 (v7 or higher) project until using the I/O as described in Chapter 5

However, to get the adapter to operate with the I/O created in Chapter 5, we need to configure the adapter to accept the I/O and drive to point to the appropriate Datalinks.

Hierarchy on page 3-8 or Custom Peer I/O Configuration on page 3-11):

About I/O Messaging

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this publication are intended solely for

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 755 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. 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.

5-2 Using the I/O

Understanding the I/O Image

The terms input and output are defined from the controller’s point of view. Therefore, output I/O is data that is produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the adapter and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary based on:

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

DL To Net 01-16) are used.

• ControlLogix Controllers only — Specific drive profile used in

RSLogix 5000 (Add-On Drive Profile in v16 or higher or Generic Profile in all versions of RSLogix 5000).

ControlLogix Controller Image

Since the Add-On Drive Profile in RSLogix 5000 (v16 or higher) provides descriptive controller tags, the I/O image (tag size and location) is automatically configured based on the drive being used. When using the Generic Profile in RSLogix 5000, however, controller tags are not descriptive or defined.

Table 5.A

shows the I/O image when using all of the 32-bit Datalinks.

This is only required when the Generic Profile is used. The Add-On Profile automatically accounts for this and, therefore, hides the Pad in the I/O input image.

PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix 1100 Controller Image

The I/O image for the PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix 1100 controller changes depending on how many of the drive’s sixteen 32-bit Datalinks are used.

TIP: Since PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix 1100 controllers are 16-bit devices, each 32-bit word for the Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and any used Datalinks will consume two contiguous words (Least and Most Significant) in the controller’s I/O image. Table 5.B

5-4 Using the I/O

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 Add-On Profile or DINT 1 when using the Generic Profile. For a PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 controller, the Logic Command word is always words 0 (least significant word) and 1 (most significant word) in the output image and the Logic Status word is always words 0 (least significant word) and 1 (most significant word) in the input image.

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

Status Words for PowerFlex 750-Series Drives.

The Reference is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) piece of control data produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter. The Feedback is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) piece of status data produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller.

D, Logic Command/

The Reference and Feedback 32-bit values represent engineering units. For example, a 32-bit REAL Reference value of “30.0” equals a Reference of 30.0 Hz. Note that the commanded maximum speed can never exceed the value of drive Parameter 510 - [Max Fwd Speed].

Table 5.C

755 drive that has its Parameter 37 - [Maximum Freq] set to 130 Hz and Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] set to 60 Hz.

When using a ControlLogix controller, the 32-bit REAL Reference is always DINT 1 in the output image and the 32-bit REAL Feedback is always DINT 1 in the input image when using the Add-On Profile or DINT 2 when using the Generic Profile. For a PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 controller, the 32-bit REAL Reference word is always words 2 (least significant word) and 3 (most significant word) in the output image and the 32-bit REAL Feedback is always words 2 (least significant word) and 3 (most significant word) in the input image. Because the I/O image is integer-based and the Reference and Feedback are floating point, a COP (Copy) instruction or UDDT is required to correctly write values to the Reference and read values from the Feedback. See the ladder logic program examples in Figure 5.8

Figure 5.9

TIP: When using the drive-specific 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.

The drive runs at 60 Hz instead of 130 Hz or 65 Hz because drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] sets 60 Hz as the maximum speed.

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 changed without using an Explicit Message. When enabled, each Datalink occupies one 32-bit word in a ControlLogix controller or two 16-bit words in a PLC-5, SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1100 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 assigned to the embedded adapter and any or all of the Option Cards installed in the drive.

Speed Command Value

32.5 Hz 32.5 Hz 32.5

Output Speed

(2)

60.0

Network Feedback Value

60.0

• 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].

• When a Datalink I/O connection is active, that Datalink is 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 Non-Volatile Storage (NVS). 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 peripherals (embedded EtherNet/IP adapter 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 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.

PowerFlex® 755 Drive Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual

Publication 750COM-UM001A-EN-P

Page 90

5-6 Using the I/O

Depending on the controller being used, the I/O connection can be disabled by:

• Inhibiting the module in RSLogix 5000

• 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”).

Example Ladder Logic Program Information

ControlLogix Example

The example ladder logic programs in the sections of this chapter are intended for and operate PowerFlex 750-Series drives.

Functions of the Example Programs

The example programs enable you to:

• Receive Logic Status information from the drive.

• Send a Logic Command to control the drive (for example, start, stop).

• Send a Reference to the drive and receive Feedback from the drive.

• Send/receive Datalink data to/from the drive.

Logic Command/Status Words

These examples use the Logic Command word and Logic Status word for PowerFlex 750-Series drives. Refer to Appendix

Since the Add-On Drive Profile automatically created descriptive controller tags (Figure 4.13 can use these tags to directly control and monitor the drive without creating any ladder logic program. However, if you intend to use Human Machine Interface devices (PanelView, etc.) to operate the drive and view its status, you will need to create descriptive user-defined Program tags (Figure 5.1 Controller tag data to the Program tags.

Understanding Controller Data Table Addresses

Since PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix 1100 controllers are 16-bit platforms being used with the 32-bit embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, the data will be transposed from the least significant word (LSW) to the most significant word (MSW) in the controller.

When the I/O was configured (Chapter 4 (N20) was used. Figure 5.11 for this example.

Figure 5.11 Data File Table for Example Ladder Logic Program

), an available data table file

shows the entire data file address structure

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

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

Table 5.D

file (Figure 5.11

) being used in this example.

For PowerFlex 750-Series drives, which contain both DINT (32-bit format) and REAL (floating point format) data types, you will always read from and write to the LSW data table address in the controller first. Then if the data value exceeds 16 bits, the remaining value will be in the MSW data table address.

Description

TIP: Remember that most of the parameters in the drive being read/ written with the Datalinks are REAL (floating point) data types. Therefore, use a COP (Copy) instruction to convert the least significant word and most significant word values to a single floating point register (Fx:x).

You can use the controller data table addresses to directly control and monitor the drive without creating any ladder logic program. However, if you intend to use Human Machine Interface devices (PanelView, etc.) to operate the drive and view its status, you may want to create alternate controller data table addresses (Table 5.E logic program that will pass that data to the data table addresses used for messaging.
