Usage Precautions

Operating Environment

• Please use the interface only when the ambient temperature of the environment into which the unit is installed is within the following specified temperature limits:

Operation Storage

• Avoid installation locations that may be subjected to large shocks or vibrations.

• Avoid installation locations that may be subjected to rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

: -10 ∼ +50°C (+14 ∼ +122°F)

: -40 ∼ +85°C (-40 ∼ +185°F)

Installation and Wiring

• Proper ground connections are vital for both safety and signal reliability reasons. Ensure that all electrical equipment is properly grounded.

• Route all communication cables separate from high-voltage or noise- emitting cabling (such as ASD input/output power wiring).

ASD Connection

• Do not touch charged parts of the drive such as the terminal block while the drive’s CHARGE lamp is lit. A charge will still be present in the drive’s internal electrolytic capacitors, and therefore touching these areas may result in an electrical shock. Always turn the drive’s input power supply OFF, and wait at least 5 minutes after the CHARGE lamp has gone out before connecting communication cables.

• For further drive-specific precaution, safety and installation information, please refer to the appropriate documentation supplied with your drive.

• Internal ASD EEPROMs have a limited life span of write cycles. Observe all precautions contained in this manual and your ASD manual regarding which drive registers safely may and may not be repetitively written to.

5. Installation

This interface card has been designed for quick and simple installation. The card is connected to the drive's control board via a 30-pin rectangular connector, and is mechanically supported via an integral housing that seamlessly mates with the drive’s enclosure. The only tool required for installation is a flat-blade screwdriver.

Before opening the drive, please observe all safety precautions as outlined on the drive's front cover and in the operation manual.

5.1 Installation Procedure

1. CAUTION! Verify that all input power sources to the drive

have been turned OFF and are locked and tagged out.

2. DANGER! Wait at least 5 minutes for the drive’s

electrolytic capacitors to discharge before proceeding to the next step. Do

not touch any internal parts with power applied to the drive, or for at least 5 minutes after power to the drive has been removed. A hazard exists temporarily for electrical shock even if the source power has been removed. Verify that the CHARGE LED has gone out before

continuing the installation process.

3. Remove the drive’s display panel and front cover by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into each of the two mounting tab access openings at the top of the front cover and depressing each of the mounting tabs (Figure 1). Rotate the top of the font cover outward and remove the cover (Figure 2).

mounting tabs, depressing firmly until the front cover snaps into place (Figure 4). Double-check that the plastic bosses located on the left and right side of the interface housing are properly inserted into the corresponding recesses on the back of the front cover, and that the front cover is overall secure and flush with the interface housing.

Figure 4: Reinstalling the Drive's Front Cover

6. Insert the network cable into the Ethernet jack. Ensure that the connector is fully seated into the jack, and route the cable such that it is located well away from any electrical noise sources, such as drive’s input power or motor wiring. Also take care to route the cable away from any sharp edges or positions where it may be pinched.

7. Turn the power source to the drive ON, and verify that it functions properly. If the drive does not appear to power up, or does not function properly, immediately turn power OFF. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove all power from the drive. Then, verify all connections. Contact ICC or your local Toshiba representative for assistance if the problem persists.

5.2 Installing Multiple Option Cards

When this communication interface is installed into a drive in conjunction with an I/O option card, the I/O option card must be installed first (adjacent to the drive’s enclosure), and the communication interface must be installed last (adjacent to the drive’s front panel).

7. Configuring the IP Address

Before you can access the interface from your web browser or begin using it as a part of your automation network, you must know its IP address. The interface comes from the factory configured to obtain an IP address dynamically (DHCP/BOOTP). You can determine the interface’s current IP address using the discovery software included on the CD provided with the interface, or available from the ICC homepage at http://www.iccdesigns.com

7.1 Via the Finder Utility

To configure the interface to use a static IP address:

1. Connect the interface to your network and apply power to the ASD. When the interface boots up, it will attempt to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server or, failing that, will fallback to either the last static IP address assigned, or a default static IP address of 192.168.16.102 if no static IP address has yet been assigned.

2. To determine the initial IP address of your interface, start the ICC FINDER.EXE discovery utility.

3. The discovery utility scans the network for ICC devices and then lists each device’s IP Address, MAC Address, Firmware Version and Product ID. Identify your device by its MAC address the Ethernet network jack). Refer to Figure 5.

(printed on a label on the top of

Figure 5: ICC Finder Discovery Utility

4. To change the IP address, select the device in the list of detected devices and click the Configure IP Settings button.

ICC

5. In the dialog that appears, select Manually configure network settings.

6. Enter the desired IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and casesensitive system password (default is “icc”) in the appropriate boxes, then click Apply.

7. A popup dialog box will prompt you to reboot. Click Reboot Device. Rebooting may require 30s or more to complete. When the device status indicates “Ready”, click Close.

8. The discovery utility will automatically rescan the network. Confirm that the new IP address has been accepted by the device.

7.2 Via the Drive’s Keypad

This section applies to G9 (drive control board firmware V203R5 and later) and H9 (drive control board firmware V204R4) drives only.

The interface card’s IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DHCP/Static IP mode can be viewed and modified via the drive’s keypad by navigating to Program…Communications…Ethernet Settings. Additionally, the interface card’s unique MAC ID can be viewed (but not modified) in this screen.

Note that these parameter values are read by the interface card only during initial boot-up. Therefore, be sure to power cycle the drive whenever any of these values are changed to allow the changes to take effect.

7.3 Via the Web Page

Once an initial IP address has been assigned to the device and the configuration web page can be accessed, the IP address-related parameters can also be modified via the web page. Refer to section 10.7.5.

ICC

8. Using the ICC Finder Utility

The “ICC Finder” utility is a simple Windows PC program (just a single .exe file, no installations, DLL’s etc.), which when executed discovers all ICC communication interfaces on the current Ethernet subnet, regardless of whether or not their network parameters are currently compatible with the subnet upon which they reside. Refer to Figure 5 on page 19.

In order for the Finder application to discover devices, certain UDP Ethernet traffic must be allowed in and out of the computer, and firewall applications (such as Windows Firewall) are often configured to block such traffic by default. If the Finder is unable to discover any devices on the current subnet, be sure to check the computer’s firewall settings during troubleshooting, and add an exception to the firewall configuration if necessary.

All discovered devices can be organized in ascending or descending order by clicking on the desired sort header (IP Address, MAC Address, Application Firmware or Product). The buttons on the left side of the window perform the following actions:

Open Web Interface

Refer to section 9.

Open FTP Interface

could be either Windows Explorer, a web browser, or a 3rd-party FTP program (whatever the computer/operating system is configured for by default). This allows you to interact directly with the unit’s on-board flash filesystem, enabling you to drag and drop files to/from the unit and upload new firmware. Refer to section 11.

Device Info Reboot Device: Opens a dialog box which prompts for a password to reboot

the interface. Enter the case-sensitive system password (default is “icc”), then click Reboot. The reboot cycle has completed when the displayed status changes from “Rebooting” to “Ready” (note that this may require 30s or more to complete.) Clicking Close will then close the dialog box and cause the discovery utility to automatically rescan the network.

9. Parameter Numbering

Inspection of the Toshiba ASD user’s manual reveals that the ASD’s parameters are organized as hexadecimal numbers ranging from F000 to FFFF. These parameters are made accessible to the interface board as “registers”, and are numerically remapped to present a more natural interface to the communications user. There are 1500 total registers available via the interface board, and their mappings are as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: ASD Parameter-to-Register Mapping

Hexadecimal ASD

Parameter Numbers…

F000 - F999 1 - 1000 FA00 - FA99 1001 - 1100 FB00 - FB99 1101 - 1200

FC00 - FC99 1201 - 1300 FD00 - FD99 1301 - 1400

FE00 - FE99 1401 - 1500

This mapping is easier to understand if one just uses the interface's web page as a guide (refer to Figure 6 and section 10.4.4). The "parameter” numbers (ASD references) and "register” numbers (network references) for all available parameters are shown in the first two columns. Commanding the drive over the network therefore entails writing to registers 1007 (option board command) and 1008 (option board frequency command), which correspond to ASD parameters FA06 and FA07, respectively.

…Map to Decimal Register

Numbers

Figure 6: Web Page Register Assignment Reference

To avoid confusion, when this user’s manual uses the term “parameter”, it will be referring to the ASD’s hexadecimal number as documented in the ASD

ICC

user’s manual. Similarly, when this user’s manual uses the term “register”, it will be referring to the decimal number as it is exposed to the network interface.

Note that although 1500 total registers are available in the register space, not all of those registers have corresponding parameters that exist in the drive. In other words, if a read from or write to a register that does not correspond to an existing drive parameter takes place, the read/write will be successful, but the data will have no meaning. This feature is beneficial in situations where the accessing of non-contiguous registers can be made more efficient by accessing an all-inclusive block of registers (some of which correspond to drive parameters and some of which do not), while only manipulating those in your local programming that are known to exist.

ICC

10. Embedded Web Server

10.1 Overview

The interface contains an embedded web server (also known as an HTTP server), which allows users to access the drive’s internal data in a graphical manner with web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. In this way, the drive can be monitored, configured and controlled from across the room or from across the globe.

In order to view the interface’s web page, the free Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash Player browser plug-in is required. If the plug-in is not already installed on your computer, then your browser will automatically be redirected to the appropriate Adobe download web site when you initially attempt to access the interface’s web page. Alternatively, the plug-in can be downloaded directly by going to http://www.adobe.com Adobe Flash Player” link. Always ensure that you have the latest version of the Flash Player installed: if some aspect of the web page does not appear to be displayed properly, installing the latest Flash Player update usually resolves the problem.

, and choosing the “get

Figure 7: Embedded Web Server

To access an interface’s embedded web server, either use the finder utility (refer to section 8) and select the “Open Web Interface” button when the target

ICC

unit is highlighted, or just directly enter the target unit’s IP address into the address (URL) field of your web browser. Refer to Figure 7 for a representative screenshot of the web server interface.

In order to access the web server and view the parameter values, destination TCP ports 80 and 2000 must be accessible from the client computer. If an “XML socket connection failed” error message is displayed in the information window, and no parameter values are shown, this is typically indicative of port 2000 being blocked by a firewall or Ethernet router situated between the client computer and the interface card.

10.2 Authentication

For security, the interface requires valid user authentication whenever the web page is accessed. The authentication request will appear as a browser popup box that will request entry of a user name and password. Refer to Figure 8.

Figure 8: Web Server Authentication

The factory-default user name is “root”, and the password is “icc”. Note that the username and password are case-sensitive, and that once authenticated, the authentication will remain in effect from that point until all browser windows are closed. The authentication credentials can also be changed from their default settings (refer to section 10.7.3.)

10.3 Page Select Tabs

The web interface is subdivided into several different “tabs” of associated information, much the same as how folders in a filing cabinet are arranged. Refer to Figure 9. To change tabs, just click on the tab you wish to view. The title of the currently-selected tab is red. Note that because different protocols are supported by the interface with different firmware images, not all tabs may be accessible with the firmware image currently loaded. The titles of tabs that are not accessible are grayed-out, and clicking them has no effect.

10.4 Monitor Tab

10.4.1 Information Window

Figure 10 shows the Information Window, which is located in the upper-right hand corner of the monitor tab. This window displays various informational messages regarding the status of the interface card or web browser session. There is also an “activity” indicator located in the lower-right hand corner of the Information Window, which blinks periodically to show the status of data communication between the web browser and the interface card. If you do not observe the activity indicator blink at all for several seconds or more, it is possible that the web browser may have lost contact to the web server due to a drive reset or a network problem: to reestablish communications, select “refresh” on your web browser.

10.4.2 Parameter Group Selection List

The Parameter Group Selection List is located in the upper-left hand corner of the Monitor Tab. Refer to Figure 11. When a parameter group is selected, the

ICC

parameter subgroups (if any) contained in that parameter group are displayed in the Parameter Subgroup Selection List (refer to section 10.4.3), and the corresponding parameters are displayed in the Parameter List (refer to section

10.4.4). The following parameter groups are available:

All:

All parameters are available (configuration, command and monitor parameters).

Basic Parameters:

the configuration parameters most commonly used for drive setup are available.

Extended Parameters:

other configuration parameters that are not “basic parameters” are available.

Command Parameters:

that although all parameters associated with drive control are available in this selection, only those parameters that are identified as being for the “internal option board” can be used to actually control the drive via the option board: all other drive command parameters can only be monitored via the option board.

Monitor Parameters:

Only

All

Only drive command parameters are available. Note

Only drive monitor parameters are available.

10.4.3 Parameter Subgroup Selection List

Subgroups can be used to further filter the parameters of a group that are to be displayed in the Parameter List. Refer to Figure 12.

If the group currently selected in the Parameter Group Selection List (refer to section 0) has subgroups available, then choosing the desired subgroup will further filter the parameters that are displayed in the Parameter List. If the currently-selected group does not have any available subgroups, then only the “All” subgroup will be shown, and all parameters in that group will be shown in the Parameter List.

10.4.4 Parameter List

The bottom half of the Monitor tab contains the parameter list (refer to Figure

13). The parameters that are displayed in the list at any given time depend on the group/subgroup selected, as well as whether or not any filters have been applied (refer to section 10.4.5).

The first two columns of the Parameter List show the parameter name and the register number that provides access to that parameter, and were discussed in detail in section 9. The third column contains the parameter descriptions, which are used by the filter function. The last column performs two functions: it displays the current value of the parameter, and also allows changing the parameter’s value by clicking on the number in the value column and entering the new value.

Figure 13: Parameter List

Some items to keep in mind when interacting with the Parameter List are:

• When entering new parameter values, be sure that the number being entered is appropriate for the currently-selected radix (refer to section

10.4.6): for example, an entered value of “1000” in hexadecimal is equal to 4096 in decimal.

• If desired, the column widths can be changed by dragging the vertical bars that separate the header row’s cells to a different position.

• If you begin changing a parameter value and then decide to abandon the change, pressing the ESC key on your keyboard will abandon the change and redisplay the current parameter value.

• When editing a parameter value, clicking someplace off the entry cell is equivalent to hitting the ENTER key.

10.4.5 Parameter List Filter

A filter function provides Parameter List search capabilities. To use the filter function, simply type a word or portion of a word into the filter entry box and then click the “filter” button. Refer to Figure 14.

The filter will then display only those parameters currently available in the Parameter List that satisfy the search criteria. For example, to find all monitor parameters that contain some derivative of the word “volt” (such as “voltage” or “volts”), select the “Monitor Parameters” group, the “All” subgroup, and then enter “volt” in the filter entry box.

Once a filter has been entered, it will continue to be applied to all information normally displayed in the Parameter List for as long as the filter term is left in the filter entry box. Continuing the previous example where we filtered on the root term “volt” in the monitor parameters, we can then easily apply this filter to all parameters (configuration, command or monitor) simply by selecting the “All” parameter group. The Parameter List will now display all configuration, command or monitor parameters that contain the root term “volt”.

To remove the filter, delete any characters contained in the filter entry box and then click the “filter” button.

10.4.6 Radix Selection

Figure 15 shows the radix selection buttons. These selection buttons allow changing the Parameter List “value” column data display and entry radix between decimal and hexadecimal formats.

When “DEC” is selected, the “value” column heading will be “Value (Decimal)”, current parameter values will be displayed in decimal, and values to be written to parameters must be entered in decimal format. For example, to change the drive’s frequency command to 40.00Hz, enter the decimal value 4000

Similarly, when “HEX” is selected, the “value” column heading will be “Value (Hexadecimal)”, current parameter values will be displayed in hexadecimal, and values to be written to parameters must be entered in hexadecimal format. For example, to turn on bits #15, #14 and #10 in the drive’s command word, enter the hexadecimal number C400
