How to set Ethernet IP communication between Altivar and Allen Bradley PLC's?
Hello, today we will show you how to set the communication between an Altivar
and an Allen Bradley PLC via Ethernet IP (for the ATV320, Ethernet TCP/IP communication module VW3A3616 is required)
ATV930 and CPU 1769-L30ERMS will be used in this video.
Please refer to the ATV930 Installation manual and to the Ethernet manual for the hardware setting and connection.
Open Somove and connect to the drive.
Set the reference and command channels to the Embedded Ethernet.
(For the ATV320, set the reference and command channels to com. card).
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 scan 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.
Insert an ATV930 as a Generic Ethernet Module.
Set its name, comm format, IP address, input and output assembly instance (101/100) and their size (32)
as well as the configuration instance (6). Set the RPI to 10 ms.
Add tags to the drive inputs (ETA, RFRD, LCR) and outputs (CMD, LFRD) to have them in one monitoring view.
Load the project to the CPU and run it.
Check that the communication with the drive is established.
By following the CIA402 profile, the drive can be controlled:
Send 6 then 7 in CMD and the drive will switch into ready state (ETA=563)
Send the reference in LFRD (1500 rpm)
Send 15 in CMD to run the drive.
RFRD will show the motor speed and LCR will show the motor current.
These values match those shown by SoMove.
