How to set Ethernet IP between Altivar and Allen Bradley PLCs using EDS files?
Hello, today we will show you how to set the communication between an Altivar and an Allen Bradley PLC via Ethernet IP
using the EDS file (for ATV320, Ethernet TCP/IP communication module VW3A3616 is required).
An ATV930 and CPU 1769-L30ERMS will be used in this video.
Please refer to the ATV900 Installation manual and the ethernet manual for the hardware setting and connection.
Open SoMove and connect to the drive.
Set the reference channel (FR1) to the Embedded Ethernet.
The drive will be controlled following CIA402 profile.
Select the fixed IP mode and set the IP address.
Select the protocol 'Ethernet IP' and choose the IO connection profile (the assembly).
In this video we will use 100/101 (32 input and 32 output registers).
Fill out the scanner table with the parameters (registers) to scan.
Then apply the changes and restart the drive.
Connect again to the drive and check that the parameters are saved.
Create a new project on Studio 5000 and add the CPU.
Open the EDS Hardware Installation Tool and import the EDS file of ATV9xx that can be downloaded from Schneider site.
Insert an ATV930 to the Ethernet network. Set its name and IP address.
Click on 'Change' to select the connection to use.
Select the connection 'Native Drive Control' (assembly 101/100).
Change the type of the data to 'INT'.
Change the RPI and unicat/multicast mode if needed.
Load the project to the CPU and start it.
Once the communication is established, open the controller tags and check the drive inputs.
The first word shows the drive status and the second shows the motor speed in rpm.
By following the CIA402 profile, the drive can be controlled.
Send the speed reference (rpm) in reference word (second word).
Send 6 then 7 then 15 in the command word (first word) and the motor will start running.
The second word of the inputs will display the actual speed of the motor reaching 1500 rpm.
In 'My Dashboard' in SoMove, we can see that the drive is running and that the motor speed is 1500 rpm.
