2.4 Safety Information and Warnings
2.4 Safety Information and Warnings
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage!
● Always follow the proper lock-out/tag-out procedures before beginning any maintenance
or troubleshooting work on the VFD.
● Always follow standard safety precautions and local codes during installation of external
wiring. The installation must follow wiring practices and insulation systems as specified in
IEC 61800-5-1.
● Always work with one hand, wear electrical safety gloves, wear insulated electrical hazard
rated safety shoes, and safety goggles. Also, always work with another person present.
● Always use extreme caution when handling or measuring components that are inside the
enclosure. Be careful to prevent meter leads from shorting together or from touching other
terminals.
● Use only instrumentation (e.g., meters, oscilloscopes, etc.) intended for high voltage
measurements (that is, isolation is provided inside the instrument, not provided by isolating
the chassis ground of the instrument).
● Never assume that switching off the input disconnector will remove all voltage from internal
components. Voltage is still present on the terminals of the input disconnector. Also, there
may be voltages present that are applied from other external sources.
● Never touch anything within the VFD cabinets until verifying that it is neither thermally hot
nor electrically alive.
● Never remove safety shields (marked with a HIGH VOLTAGE sign) or attempt to measure
points beneath the shields.
● Never operate the VFD with cabinet doors open. The only exception is the control cabinet
which contains extra low voltages (ELV).
● Never connect any grounded (i.e., non-isolated) meters or oscilloscopes to the system.
● Never connect or disconnect any meters, wiring, or printed circuit boards while the VFD
is energized.
● Never defeat the instrument’s grounding.
● Only qualified individuals should install, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain this VFD. A
qualified individual is "a person, who is familiar with the construction and operation of the
equipment and the hazards involved."
● Hazardous voltages may still exist within the VFD cabinets even when the disconnect
switch is open (off) and the supply power is shut off.
● When a system is configured with VFD bypass switchgear (e.g. contactors between line
and motor, and VFD and motor), these switches should be interlocked so that the line
voltage is never applied to the VFD output if the medium input voltage is removed from
the VFD.

Additional safety precautions and warnings appear throughout this manual. These important
messages should be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
Obey Rules to Avoid Risk of Death
● Always comply with local codes and requirements if disposal of failed components is
necessary (for example, CPU battery, capacitors, etc.).
● Always ensure the use of an even and flat truck bed to transport the VFD system. Before
unloading, be sure that the concrete pad is level for storage and permanent positioning.
● Always confirm proper tonnage ratings of cranes, cables, and hooks when lifting the VFD
system. Dropping the cabinet or lowering it too quickly could damage the unit.
● Never disconnect control power while medium voltage is energized. This could cause
severe system overheating and/or damage.
● Never store flammable material in, on, or near the drive enclosure. This includes
equipment drawings and manuals.
● Never use fork trucks to lift cabinets that are not equipped with lifting tubes. Be sure that
the fork truck tines fit the lifting tubes properly and are the appropriate length.

2.5 ESD-sensitive Components
2.5 ESD-sensitive Components
Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD)
NOTICE
ESD Sensitive Equipment
● Always be aware of electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working near or touching
components inside the VFD cabinet. The printed circuit boards contain components that
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Handling and servicing of components that are
sensitive to ESD should be done only by qualified personnel and only after reading and
understanding proper ESD techniques. The following ESD guidelines should be observed.
Following these rules can greatly reduce the possibility of ESD damage to printed circuit
board (PCB) components.
● Always transport static sensitive equipment in antistatic bags.
● Always use a soldering iron that has a grounded tip. Also, use either a metallic vacuumstyle plunger or copper braid when desoldering.
● Ensure that anyone handling the printed circuit boards is wearing a properly grounded
static strap. The wrist strap should be connected to ground through a 1 Megohm resistor.
Grounding kits are available commercially through most electronic wholesalers.
● Static charge build-up can be removed from a conductive object by touching the object
with a properly grounded piece of metal.
● When handling a PC board, always hold the card by its edges.
● Do not slide printed circuit boards (PCBs) across any surface (e.g., a table or work bench).
If possible, perform PCB maintenance at a workstation that has a conductive covering that
is grounded through a 1 Megohm resistor. If a conductive tabletop cover is unavailable, a
clean steel or aluminum tabletop is an excellent substitute.
● Avoid plastic Styrofoam™, vinyl and other non-conductive materials. They are excellent
static generators and do not give up their charge easily.
● When returning components to Siemens Industry, Inc. always use static-safe packing.
This limits any further component damage due to ESD.
Components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD)
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge
Electronic components can be destroyed in the event of improper handling, transporting,
storage, and shipping.
Pack the electronic components in appropriate ESD packaging; e.g. ESD foam, ESD
packaging bags and ESD transport containers.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.

Safety notes
2.5 ESD-sensitive Components
● Avoid physical contact with electronic components. If you need to perform absolutely
essential work on these components, then you must wear one of the following protective
gear:
– Grounded ESD wrist strap
– ESD shoes or ESD shoe grounding strips if there is also an ESD floor.
● Do not place electronic components close to data terminals, monitors or televisions.
Maintain a minimum clearance to the screen (> 10 cm).
● Electronic components should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating
materials such as plastic foil, plastic parts, insulating table supports or clothing made of
synthetic fibers.
● Place components in contact with ESD-suited materials e.g. ESD tables, ESD surfaces,
ESD packaging.
● Measure on the components only if one of the following conditions is met:
– The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor, for example.
– The measuring head of a floating measuring device has been discharged directly before
the measurement.
The necessary ESD protective measures for the entire working range for electrostatically
sensitive devices are illustrated once again in the following drawings. Precise instructions for
ESD protective measures are specified in the standard DIN EN 61340-5-1.

2.6 Electromagnetic Fields in Electrical Power Engineering Installations
2.6 Electromagnetic Fields in Electrical Power Engineering Installations
WARNING
Electromagnetic fields "electro smog" when operating electrical power engineering
installations
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations.
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, which could cause them to
malfunction. For example, the operation of heart pacemakers can be impaired, potentially
leading to damage to a person's health or even death. It is therefore forbidden for persons
with heart pacemakers to enter these areas.
The plant operator is responsible for taking appropriate measures (labels and hazard
warnings) to adequately protect operating personnel and others against any possible risk.
● Observe the relevant nationally applicable health and safety regulations. For example, in
Germany, "electromagnetic fields" are subject to regulations BGV B11 and BGR B11
stipulated by the German statutory industrial accident insurance institution.
● Display adequate hazard warning notices on the installation.
● Place barriers around hazardous areas.
● Take measures, e.g. using shields, to reduce electromagnetic fields at their source.
● Ensure personnel are wearing the appropriate protective gear.

Modbus Communication
3.1 Description
3.1 Description
The Modbus™ communication interface is a serial interface that operates at standard baud
rates up to 19.2 Kbaud. The 10-bit data frame consists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits (no parity) and
1 stop bit. These data parameters are fixed for the drive.
The drive always acts as a Modbus™ slave. This means that the drive does not initiate dialog
on the Modbus™ network. Rather, it listens to and then responds to the Modbus™ master (the
PLC).
Note
Only register-based read and write functions of the Modbus™ protocol are supported. These
functions are used to monitor and control analog and digital inputs and outputs of the drive.
Only the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) format of the Modbus™ protocol is supported by the
NXGpro Control.
Refer to Section
Functions
for function codes supported by the NXGpro Control.

3.2 Software Programming
This section provides details for user programming through the SOP.
The fixed register bits are defined by the drive's software by default. To reprogram the definition
of the bits, complete these steps:
1. Set parameters using the procedure
controlled by the SOP
2. Refer to the procedures detailed in this section to complete setup:
– programmable inputs to the drive
– programmable outputs from the drive
The following table shows how the fixed register bits correspond with programmable bits
available for use in the SOP (drctry.pro bits).

There are 64 input bits available for user programming through the SOP file. These bits can
be programmed to set or reset any other bits used within the SOP.
Programming Procedure
1. Locate the first data to drive register that is programmable using Table
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address
Assignment/Addressing
You will see that the first programmable data to drive register for network 1 is register 'Data
to Drive 03', which corresponds to parameter ID (9603).
2. Enter parameter ID (9603).
3. The pick list of data to drive variables will appear. Refer to Table

4. Scroll through the pick list until you come to 'Net Input Flag 1' and press [ENTER]. This
setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
Now the corresponding bits from the drctry.pro file can be used in the SOP, as shown below:
;Network1Flag0_I Use bit 0 for Stop bit
;Network1Flag1_I Use bit 1 for Run Forward bit
RunRequest_O = /Network1Flag0_I * Network1Flag1_I;Run drive using
bit 1,stop using bit 0
5. Select 'Net Input Flag 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.
Note
By choosing 'Data to Drive 03' as the write register, the PLC must now send 0x02 in register
'Data to Drive 03' to run the drive.
To stop the drive, the PLC must send 0x01 in register 'Data to Drive 03'.
The pick list variables and the corresponding programmable input bits are found in the following
tables for network 1 and 2, respectively.

The following example shows how the network can be programmed to trip the input medium
voltage:
● The PLC writes to register 'Data to Drive 03' which is programmed to 'Net Input Flag 1'
using the procedure above.
● The SOP sets a flag bit that uses a digital output to trip input medium voltage, using the
following SOP source code:
;ExternalDigitalOutput01h_O Use digital output to trip input medium voltage
ExternalDigitalOutput01h_O = Network1FixedRegBit9_I;

3.2 Software Programming
The following example shows how the network can be programmed to detect a trip on the input
medium voltage:
● The PLC reads register 'Data from Drive 03', which is programmed to 'Net1 Out Reg 1'
using the procedure above.
● The SOP sets a flag bit that corresponds to a medium voltage low fault, using the following
SOP source code:
; Monitor medium voltage fault on the Modbus network
Network1Flag9_O = MediumVoltageLowFault_I;
● This example uses bit 9 of 'Net1 Out Reg 1', which is Network1Flag9_O, to set the network
flag true if the medium voltage low fault is active.
● The PLC reads the contents of 'Net1 Out Reg 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_O) to determine if
a medium voltage fault occured.

3.4 Planning/Configuring
This section describes the setup methods available for communication. The following topics
are explained:
● Fast setup procedures
● Network setup procedure
● Network status detection
● An example to illustrate the setup procedure.
Note
Fast setup procedures allow setup of a Network 1 interface with a minimum of detail.
3.4.1 Fast Setup: Control the drive using the default configuration
To control the drive using the default configuration, you must send commands to the drive's
'fixed reg bits' location. This location is register 'Data to Drive 01' as provided in Table
Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address
Section
Parameter Assignment/Addressing
.
in
To control the drive from a PLC using the default configuration, complete the following steps.
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "Modbus".
2. Set parameter 'Modbus Baud Rate' (9060); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'Modbus Address' (9070) to the desired network address for the drive.
4. Set parameter 'Net Control Type' (9944) to "Fixed". This sets the bits at register 'Data to
Drive 01' where the fixed register bits are located. The fixed register bits are interpreted as
shown in the following table.
5. Add the following line to the SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;
Table 3-21 Default definitions of Fixed Register Bits
Bit Default Definition

Network1FixedRegBit3_I functions as a drive stop control bit only if parameter 'Start Stop Control'
(9945) is set to "Momentary". Otherwise this bit is reserved.
Reserved for future assignment
Note
To run the drive, the PLC must send 0x21 to register 'Data to Drive 01'. This hexadecimal value
sets bit 0 (run) and bit 5 (start/stop control from network).
To stop the drive, the PLC must send 0x08 or 0x00 to register 'Data to Drive 01'.
3.4.2 Fast Setup: Monitor drive status and speed feedback
To read status data from the drive, complete the following steps:
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "Modbus".
2. Set parameter 'Modbus Baud Rate' (9060); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'Modbus Address' (9070) to the desired network address for the drive.
4. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units.
5. Refer to the Table
Protocol Address
for general status (Data from Drive 01) and motor speed feedback (Data from Drive 02)
from the drive.
– 'Data from Drive 01' (9401) is read by sending the read register request in address
40001.
– 'Data from Drive 02' (9402) is read by sending the read register request in address
40002, and so on.

3.4 Planning/Configuring
3.4.3 Fast Setup: Send a motor speed setting to the drive
1. Using parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080), set the desired speed units to be sent to the drive,
to one of the following options:
– %
– RPM
– Hertz
2. The PLC needs to send the desired speed setting to the drive in register 'Data to Drive 02' .
This register is reserved to hold speed settings only, as noted in Table
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address
Correspondence
in Section
Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from
the PLC.
3.4.4 Fast Setup: Control the drive using user-defined bits controlled by the SOP
To control the drive using non-default configuration, you must redefine the fixed register bits
at register 'Data to Drive 01'.
Note
The 'fixed reg bits' location is fixed at register 'Data to Drive 01', whether the default
configuration is used or not.
You cannot reprogram the 'fixed reg bits' location.
You can reprogram the definition of the bits at this address.
To control the drive this way, complete the following steps.
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "Modbus".
2. Set parameter 'Modbus Baud Rate' (9060); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'Modbus Address' (9070) to the desired network address for the drive.
4. Set parameter 'Net Control Type' (9944) to "SOP". This makes the definitions of the fixed
register bits in register 'Data to Drive 01' programmable.
5. Next, set up the drive to correspond with the bits you want to use in the SOP. Refer to
Section
variable, and use the procedures detailed in this section to complete set up.
6. To enable speed settings from the network, add the following line to the SOP file:

for details.
2. To control the drive through a second network, the following network control flag must be
in the source code of the drive's SOP:
Network2RunEnable_O = TRUE;
3.4.6 Network Status Detection Setup
An SOP flag is available to show the network status:
● For network 1: Network1CommOk_I
● For network 2: Network2CommOk_I
NXGpro Communication
Function Manual, AB, A5E33486415A 61
Page 62
Modbus Communication
3.4 Planning/Configuring
The SOP flag is set to "1" (true) when the network connection is operating normally, and "0"
(false) when it is not operating normally.
The network status cannot be automatically detected. Instead, a "Pulse Timeout" method is
used to set the network status flags.
The "Pulse Timeout" status detection must be set up in the menu system, and has to be
“strobed” by a network device that is communicating with the drive.
Procedure for Pulse Timeout Setup
1. Pick one of the 62 selectable "Data to Drive" registers and set the pick list item to "Net Input
Pulse".
2. Set parameter 'Network Timeout' (9934) for network 1 and (9935) for network 2, in the
'Config Parameters' menu, to a value (in seconds) to activate the network timeout. 0
seconds = disable timeout.
Pulse Timeout Operation
● A network device must set a unique (different) value into the "Net Input Pulse" register
before an internal timer reaches the "Network Timeout" value.
● If the network device writes a unique value, the network status flag is set to "1" and the
internal timer is reset.
● If the network device fails to write a unique value to the "Net Input Pulse" register before
the internal timer times to the value set by the "Network Timeout" parameter then the status
flag is set to "0".

Modbus Ethernet Communication
4.1 Description
4.1 Description
The Modbus™ Ethernet communication interface is based on the TCP/IP protocol. All
addressing is based on IP addresses.
The drive always acts as a Modbus™ slave. This means that the drive does not initiate dialog
on the Modbus™ Ethernet network. Rather, it listens to and then responds to the Modbus™
Ethernet master.
Note
Only register-based read and write functions of the Modbus™ protocol are supported. These
functions are used to monitor and control analog and digital inputs and outputs of the drive.
Only the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) format of the Modbus™ protocol is supported by the
NXGpro Control. All requests are sent via register port 502.
Refer to Section
To enable dual network functionality, this protocol requires an additional Anybus™ module.

4.1.1 Network Configuration Options
This section provides information on the configuration options for the Anybus™ Ethernet
Modbus™module for dual network functionality.
● Network 1 communication can be supported by two methods, which are as follows:
– CPU: Ethernet Modbus™ communication is only valid for NXpro software version 6.1
and earlier and is supported via the NXGpro CPU Ethernet connection
– Anybus™ Ethernet module ethernet communication is supported via an Anybus™
Ethernet module connected to the Network 1 connector of the NXGpro control. The
benefit of this method is that the CPU of the drive cannot experience any interrupt or
associated issues.
● Network 2 communication is supported via an Anybus™ Ethernet module as described in
the following section.
Note
The CPU Ethernet connection will only support Ethernet Modbus™ for Network for NXGpro
software version 6.1 and earlier. It cannot be used for Network 2.

4. Scroll through the pick list until you come to 'Net Input Flag 1' and press [ENTER]. This
setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
Now the corresponding bits from the drctry.pro file can be used in the SOP, as shown below:
;Network1Flag0_I Use bit 0 for Stop bit
;Network1Flag1_I Use bit 1 for Run Forward bit
RunRequest_O = /Network1Flag0_I * Network1Flag1_I;Run drive using
bit 1,stop using bit 0
5. Select 'Net Input Flag 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.
Note
By choosing 'Data to Drive 03' as the write register, the PLC must now send 0x02 in register
'Data to Drive 03' to run the drive.
To stop the drive, the PLC must send 0x01 in register 'Data to Drive 03'.
The pick list variables and the corresponding programmable input bits are found in the following
tables for network 1 and 2, respectively.

The following example shows how the network can be programmed to trip the input medium
voltage:
● The PLC writes to register 'Data to Drive 03' which is programmed to 'Net Input Flag 1'
using the procedure above.
● The SOP sets a flag bit that uses a digital output to trip input medium voltage, using the
following SOP source code:
;ExternalDigitalOutput01h_O Use digital output to trip input medium voltage
ExternalDigitalOutput01h_O = Network1FixedRegBit9_I;
NXGpro Communication

Example
The following example shows how the network can be programmed to detect a trip on the input
medium voltage:
● The PLC reads register 'Data from Drive 03', which is programmed to 'Net1 Out Reg 1'
using the procedure above.
● The SOP sets a flag bit that corresponds to a medium voltage low fault, using the following
SOP source code:
; Monitor medium voltage fault on the Modbus network
Network1Flag9_O = MediumVoltageLowFault_I;
● This example uses bit 9 of 'Net1 Out Reg 1', which is Network1Flag9_O, to set the network
flag true if the medium voltage low fault is active.
● The PLC reads the contents of 'Net1 Out Reg 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_O) to determine if
a medium voltage fault occured.

Note
To run the drive, the PLC must send 0x21 to register 'Data to Drive 01'. This hexadecimal value
sets bit 0 (run) and bit 5 (start/stop control from network).
To stop the drive, the PLC must send 0x08 or 0x00 to register 'Data to Drive 01'.
4.4.2 Fast Setup: Monitor drive status and speed feedback
To read status data from the drive, complete the following steps:
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "Ethernet Modbus". This setup assumes that an
existing working TCP/IP network is established.
2. Verify the network settings for the parameters 'Subnet Mask' and 'Gateway Address' . Refer
to Tables titled Network 1: TCP/IP Setup Menu. and Network 1: TCIP/IP Setup Menu
located in the previous section of this chapter to find the parameter numbers for the
'Gateway Address' and the 'Subnet Mask' based on the NXGpro software version and
hardware configuration.
3. Set parameter 'IP Address'. The IP address must be unique to the drive. Refer to Tables
titled Network 1: TCP/IP Setup Menu. and Network 1 : TCIP/IP Setup Menu located in the
previous section of this chapter to find the parameter number for the 'IP Address' based on

4.4.3 Fast Setup: Send a motor speed setting to the drive
1. Using parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080), set the desired speed units to be sent to the drive,
to one of the following options:
– %
– RPM
– Hertz
2. The PLC needs to send the desired speed setting to the drive in register 'Data to Drive 02' .
This register is reserved to hold speed settings only, as noted in Table
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address
Correspondence
in Section
Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from
the PLC.
4.4.4 Fast Setup: Control the drive using user-defined bits controlled by the SOP
To control the drive using non-default configuration, you must redefine the fixed register bits
at register 'Data to Drive 01'.
Note
The 'fixed reg bits' location is fixed at register 'Data to Drive 01', whether the default
configuration is used or not.
You cannot reprogram the 'fixed reg bits' location.
You can reprogram the definition of the bits at this address.
To control the drive this way, complete the following steps.
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "Ethernet Modbus". This setup assumes that an
existing working TCP/IP network is established.
2. Verify the network settings for the parameters 'Subnet mask' and 'Gateway address' . Refer
to Tables titled Network 1: TCP/IP Setup Menu. and Network 1: TCIP/IP Setup Menu
located in the previous section of this chapter to find the parameter numbers for the
'Gateway Address' and the 'Subnet Mask' based on the NXGpro software version and
hardware configuration.
3. Set parameter 'IP Address'. The IP address must be unique to the drive. Refer to Tables
titled Network 1: TCP/IP Setup Menu. and Network 1: TCIP/IP Setup Menu located in the
previous section of this chapter to find the parameter number for the 'IP Address' based on
the NXGpro software version and hardware configuation.
4. Set parameter 'Net Control Type' (9944) to "SOP". This makes the definitions of the fixed
register bits in register 'Data to Drive 01' programmable.

4.4.7 Network Status Detection Setup
An SOP flag is available to show the network status:
● For network 1: Network1CommOk_I
● For network 2: Network2CommOk_I
The SOP flag is set to "1" (true) when the network connection is operating normally, and "0"
(false) when it is not operating normally.

Modbus Ethernet Communication
4.4 Planning/Configuring
The network status cannot be automatically detected. Instead, a "Pulse Timeout" method is
used to set the network status flags.
The "Pulse Timeout" status detection must be set up in the menu system, and has to be
“strobed” by a network device that is communicating with the drive.
Procedure for Pulse Timeout Setup
1. Pick one of the 62 selectable "Data to Drive" registers and set the pick list item to "Net Input
Pulse".
2. Set parameter 'Network Timeout' (9934) for network 1 and (9935) for network 2, in the
'Config Parameters' menu, to a value (in seconds) to activate the network timeout. 0
seconds = disable timeout.
Pulse Timeout Operation
● A network device must set a unique (different) value into the "Net Input Pulse" register
before an internal timer reaches the "Network Timeout" value.
● If the network device writes a unique value, the network status flag is set to "1" and the
internal timer is reset.
● If the network device fails to write a unique value to the "Net Input Pulse" register before
the internal timer times to the value set by the "Network Timeout" parameter then the status
flag is set to "0".
