Safety notes 3
3.1 General Safety Information

Proper Use
SINAMICS Perfect Harmony™ GH180 medium voltage drives must always be installed in
closed electrical operating areas. The drive is connected to the industrial network via a circuit-
breaker.
The specific transport conditions must be observed when the equipment is transported. The
equipment shall be assembled/installed and the separate cabinet units connected properly by
cable and/or busbar in accordance with the assembly/installation instructions. The relevant
instructions regarding correct storage, EMC-compliant installation, cabling, shielding and
grounding and an adequate auxiliary power supply must be strictly observed. Fault-free
operation is also dependent on careful operation and maintenance.
The power sections are designed for variable-speed drives use with synchronous and
asynchronous motors. Operating modes, overload conditions, load cycles, and ambient
conditions different to those described in this document are allowed only by special
arrangement with the manufacturer.
Commissioning should only be carried out by trained service personnel in accordance with the
commissioning instructions.
System components such as circuit-breaker, transformer, cables, cooling unit, motor, speed
sensors, etc., must be matched to VFD operation. System configuration may only be carried out
by an experienced system integrator.

3.2 Safety Concept

The medium-voltage variable frequency drive (VFD) and its components are subject to a
comprehensive safety concept which, when properly implemented, ensures safe installation,
operation, servicing, and maintenance.
The safety concept encompasses safety components and functions to protect the device and
operators.
The VFD is also equipped with monitoring functions to protect external components.
The VFD operates safely when the interlock and protection systems are functioning properly.
Nevertheless, there are areas on the medium-voltage drive that are hazardous for personnel
and that can cause material damage if the safety instructions described in this section and
throughout the product documentation are not strictly observed.

NXGpro Communication
Function Manual, AD, A5E33486415A 23
Safety notes
3.3 Observing the Five Safety Rules

3.3 Observing the Five Safety Rules

There are five safety rules that must always be observed to assure not only personal safety, but
to prevent material damage as well. Always obey safety-related labels located on the product
itself and always read and understand each safety precaution prior to operating or working on
the drive.
The five safety rules:
1. Disconnect the system.
2. Protect against reconnection.
3. Make sure that the equipment is de-energized.
4. Apply grounding means.
5. Cover or enclose adjacent components that are still live.

DANGER
Danger Due to High Voltages
High voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
Potentially fatal voltages occur when this equipment is in operation which can remain present
even after the VFD is switched off.
Ensure that only qualified and trained personnel carry out work on the equipment.
Follow the five safety rules during each stage of the work.

3.4 Safety Information and Warnings

3.4 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.
● Hazardous voltages may still exist within the VFD cabinets even when the disconnect
switch is open (off) and the supply power is shut off.
● 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."
● 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.
● 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.
● 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 voltage input is removed from the
VFD.
● When a system is configured with VFD pre-charge, medium voltage is present on the
primary side of the input transformer and upstream device even though the MV contactor
is not closed.

3.4 Safety Information and Warnings

WARNING
Potential Arc Hazard
● Arcing can result in damage to property, serious injury and even death.
● The equipment has not been tested and rated for arc flash protection.
● Avoiding arc hazard risks is dependent upon proper installation and maintenance.
● Incorrectly applied equipment, incorrectly selected, connected or unconnected cables, or
the presence of foreign materials can cause arcing in the equipment.
● Follow all applicable precautionary rules and guidelines as used in working with medium
voltage equipment.
● The equipment may be used only:
– for the applications defined as suitable in the technical description.
– in combination with equipment and components supplied by other manufacturers which
have been approved and recommended by Siemens.
● Always follow the facility / installation site rules / guidelines for Personal Protectiive
Equipment (PPE) based on the Arc Flash study of that facility.

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.
● 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.

3.5 ESD-sensitive Components

3.5 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 vacuum-
style 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
3.5 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.
– 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.

3.6 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.

This chapter contains instructions for controlling the drive using a PLC over a Modbus™
network. It addresses the following topics:
● Description of the interface
● User Programming
● Parameter assignment and addressing
● Configuration and setup options
● Available functions

4.1 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.

4.2.1 Programmable Inputs to the Drive

Description
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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
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 Data to Drive Pick List
Variables and Scaling in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data to drive
pick list variables.
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'.

Net Input Flag 4 Network2Flag48_I ~ Network2Flag63_I

Example
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;

● The PLC writes the contents of 'Net Input Flag 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_I) to create an input
medium voltage trip.

4.2.2 Programmable Outputs from the Drive

Description
There are 64 output 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.

4.2 Software Programming

Programming Procedure
1. Locate the first data from drive register that is programmable using Table Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
You will see that the first programmable data from drive register for network 1 is register
'Data from Drive 03', which corresponds to parameter ID (9403).
2. Enter parameter ID (9403).
3. The pick list of data from drive variables will appear. Refer to Table Data from Drive Pick List
Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data from drive pick list
variables.
4. Scroll through the pick list until you come to 'Net1 Out Reg 1' and press [ENTER]. This
setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
5. Select 'Net1 Out Reg 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.
The pick list variables and the corresponding programmable output bits are found in the
following tables for network 1 and 2, respectively.

Net2 Out Reg 4 Network2Flag48_O ~ Network2Flag63_O

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;

4.4 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.

4.4.1 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 in
Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing.
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;

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.

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 "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 Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication
Protocol Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to obtain the addresses 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.

4.4 Planning/Configuring

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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address 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 "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 Software Programming to find the bits and locate the associated keypad pick list
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:
RawDemandNetwork1_O = true;

4.4.5 Network Setup Procedure

The Modbus™ interface is built in to all drives with NXGpro Control. It uses a dedicated serial
port. To configure the interface, configure the serial port and related operating characteristics
of the interface using the keypad or the ToolSuite drive tool.

Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the NXGpro Control Operating Manual for further information on security access levels
and codes.

Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table Configure Parameters
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.

Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "Modbus" and press
[ENTER]. The Modbus™ configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'Modbus Baud Rate' (9060); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'Modbus Parity' (9047) to match the parity of the PLC controller.
4. Set parameter 'Modbus Address' (9070) to the desired network address for the drive.
5. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
6. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x commanded speed where –125 % to 125 %
7. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.
8. Use Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to program the drive to send data to
and receive commands from the network. The table provides all available addresses with
corresponding parameter ID as well as pre-programmed addresses, which provide basic
drive send and receive functionality and are not changeable.
9. Define the bits in the available addresses using one of the following methods:

NXGpro Communication
Function Manual, AD, A5E33486415A 53
Modbus Communication
4.4 Planning/Configuring

● Enter from a choice of variables in the pick lists. The pick lists in the menus contain the most
commonly used data variables. Refer to Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the
pick lists.
Note
A pick list item can only be used once for each 'Data to Drive' register.

● For 'Data from Drive' registers, choose pick list option "Man Id" (manual ID) to manually
enter a variable that is not included in the pick lists, using the output data ID number. Use
the list of data IDs available in Appendix Output Data IDs to locate the variable and use the
corresponding ID number to enter the variable into the 'Data from Drive' register.
Note
The output data ID number is not the same as a parameter ID number.

● Custom program using the drive's SOP. Refer to Section Software Programming for details.
Note
The PLC can receive data from the drive without any changes to the SOP.
Only if you need to control the drive through the network will you need to set any flags in the
SOP.

Software Programming (Page 34)
Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address (Page 38)
Parameter Tables (Page 39)
Pick List Variable Tables (Page 44)

Set flags in the SOP for drive control through a network

Ensure the SOP file has the necessary code to enable control of the drive over a network:
1. To control the drive through a network by sending commands to the drive, the following
network control flag must be in the source code of the drive's SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;
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;

4.4.6 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
54 Function Manual, AD, A5E33486415A
 Modbus Communication
4.4 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".

4.4.7 Setup Example

Task
Set up network to indicate the following drive outputs on the PLC:
● general status
● motor speed
● output power
● number of active faults.

Procedure
Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to establish whether an address or
register is changeable.
To indicate general status and motor speed:
1. The table shows that:

NXGpro Communication
Function Manual, AD, A5E33486415A 55
Modbus Communication
4.4 Planning/Configuring

● 'Data from Drive 01' is not changeable; it is set to indicate general status. No action is
required.
● 'Data from Drive 02' is not changeable; it is set to indicate motor speed. No action is required.
To indicate output power:
1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 03' is changeable, this can be set to indicate output
power.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9403.
3. Enter parameter ID 9403.
4. Choose "output power" from the pick list.
The output power will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 03'.
To indicate the number of active faults:
1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 04' is changeable, this can be set to indicate the
number of active faults.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9404.
3. Enter parameter ID 9404.
4. The pick list of data from drive variables appears. As "number of active faults" is not an
option in the pick list, you must specify it manually.
5. Refer to Table Data From Drive Pick List Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/
Addressing for a list of 'data from drive' pick list variables.
Since "number of active faults" is not a choice in the pick list, instead choose "Man Id"
(manual ID). The display shows "ManId-0000".
6. Refer to Appendix Output Data IDs and locate "number of active faults" in the tables to
determine its data ID number (3000).
7. Use arrow or number keys to enter 3000, and press [ENTER]. The display now shows
"ManId-3000".
The number of active faults will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 04'.
● If the data ID number is not found, the error message "Invalid Id Entered" is displayed.
Ensure that the data ID is correct.

This chapter contains instructions for controlling the drive using a PLC over an Modbus™
Ethernet network. It addresses the following topics:
● Description of the interface
● User Programming
● Parameter assignment and addressing
● Configuration and setup options
● Available functions

5.1 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 Functions for function codes supported by the NXGpro Control.

To enable dual network functionality, this protocol requires an additional Anybus™ module.

5.1 Description

5.1.1 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.

5.2 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 Fast Setup: control the drive using user-defined bits
controlled by the SOP in Section Planning/Configuring.
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).

5.2 Software Programming

Programming Procedure
1. Locate the first data to drive register that is programmable using Table Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
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 Data to Drive Pick List
Variables and Scaling in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data to drive
pick list variables.
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.

5.2 Software Programming

Example
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;

● The PLC writes the contents of 'Net Input Flag 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_I) to create an input
medium voltage trip.

5.2.2 Programmable Outputs from the drive

Description
There are 64 output 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 from drive register that is programmable using Table Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
You will see that the first programmable data from drive register for network 1 is register
'Data from Drive 03', which corresponds to parameter ID (9403).
2. Enter parameter ID (9403).
3. The pick list of data from drive variables will appear. Refer to Table Data from Drive Pick List
Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data from drive pick list
variables.
4. Scroll through the pick list until you come to 'Net1 Out Reg 1' and press [ENTER]. This
setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
5. Select 'Net1 Out Reg 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.
The pick list variables and the corresponding programmable output bits are found in the
following tables for network 1 and 2, respectively.

Net2 Out Reg 4 Network2Flag48_O ~ Network2Flag63_O

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.

5.3.1 Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address
The following table provides drive parameter IDs and the corresponding Modbus™ addresses.
The following data is provided:
● Parameter ID
The drive parameter ID number to enter via the keypad or the ToolSuite.
● Modbus™ Address
A digital location provided by the Modbus™ Protocol, which stores values for use by the
master (PLC) and slave (Siemens drive) devices. To establish functional communication
between the PLC and the drive via the drive's Modbus™ connection, the control software in
the drive must be configured to know what certain addresses are used for.
● Data From Drive
Data that the PLC will receive from the drive to determine how the drive is functioning.
Each register contains a 16-bit digital representation of the status of a particular aspect of
drive functionality.
Some registers are fixed to track certain drive functions; others are programmable to track
any of a number of drive status choices.
● Data To Drive
Data that the PLC will send to the drive to control it.
Each register contains a 16-bit digital representation of the PLC's command for a particular
aspect of drive functionality.
Some registers are fixed to control certain functions; others are programmable to control
any of a number of drive function choices.
– Network 1 Data to drive can use either listed register range. There are 2 ranges available
to allow compatibility with the Anybus™ module on Network 2, and remain backward
compatible with the Modbus™ Ethernet implementation.

5.4 Planning/Configuring

5.4 Planning/Configuring
This section describes the setup methods available for communication. The following topics
are explained:
● Fast setup procedures
● Network interfaces
● 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.

5.4.1 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 in
Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing.
To control the drive from a PLC using the default configuration, 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 "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;

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.

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'.

5.4.2 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
the NXGpro software version and hardware configuation.

4. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units.
5. Refer to the Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication
Protocol Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to obtain the addresses 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.
The general drive status bits found in register 'Data from Drive 01' are defined in the following
table.

5.4 Planning/Configuring

5.4.3 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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from the
PLC.

5.4.4 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.

5.4.6 Network Setup Procedure

Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the NXGpro Control Operating Manual for further information on security access levels
and codes.

Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table Configure Parameters
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.

Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "Ethernet/IP" and press
[ENTER]. The configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
3. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x command speed where –125 % to 125 %
4. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.
5. Use Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to program the drive to send data to
and receive commands from the network. The table provides all available addresses with
corresponding parameter ID as well as pre-programmed addresses, which provide basic
drive send and receive functionality and are not changeable.
6. Define the bits in the available addresses using one of the following methods:

NXGpro Communication
Function Manual, AD, A5E33486415A 89
Modbus Ethernet Communication
5.4 Planning/Configuring

● Enter from a choice of variables in the pick lists. The pick lists in the menus contain the most
commonly used data variables. Refer to Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the
pick lists.
Note
A pick list item can only be used once for each 'Data to Drive' register.

● For 'Data from Drive' registers, choose pick list option "Man Id" (manual ID) to manually
enter a variable that is not included in the pick lists, using the output data ID number. Use
the list of data IDs available in Appendix Output Data IDs to locate the variable and use the
corresponding ID number to enter the variable into the 'Data from Drive' register.
Note
The output data ID number is not the same as a parameter ID number.

● Custom program using the drive's SOP. Refer to Section Software Programming for details.
Note
The PLC can receive data from the drive without any changes to the SOP.
Only if you need to control the drive through the network will you need to set any flags in the
SOP.

See also
Output Data IDs (Page 263)
Software Programming (Page 103)

Set flags in the SOP for drive control through a network

Ensure the SOP file has the necessary code to enable control of the drive over a network:
1. To control the drive through a network by sending commands to the drive, the following
network control flag must be in the source code of the drive's SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;
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;

5.4.7 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.

NXGpro Communication
90 Function Manual, AD, A5E33486415A
 Modbus Ethernet Communication
5.4 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".

5.4.8 Setup Example

Task
Set up network to indicate the following drive outputs on the PLC:
● general status
● motor speed
● output power
● number of active faults.

Procedure
Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to establish whether an address or
register is changeable.
To indicate general status and motor speed:
1. The table shows that:
● 'Data from Drive 01' is not changeable; it is set to indicate general status. No action is
required.
● 'Data from Drive 02' is not changeable; it is set to indicate motor speed. No action is required.

NXGpro Communication

5.4 Planning/Configuring

To indicate output power:

1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 03' is changeable, this can be set to indicate output
power.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9403.
3. Enter parameter ID 9403.
4. Choose "output power" from the pick list.
The output power will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 03'.
To indicate the number of active faults:
1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 04' is changeable, this can be set to indicate the
number of active faults.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9404.
3. Enter parameter ID 9404.
4. The pick list of data from drive variables appears. As "number of active faults" is not an
option in the pick list, you must specify it manually.
5. Refer to Table Data From Drive Pick List Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/
Addressing for a list of 'data from drive' pick list variables.
Since "number of active faults" is not a choice in the pick list, instead choose "Man Id"
(manual ID). The display shows "ManId-0000".
6. Refer to Appendix Output Data IDs and locate "number of active faults" in the tables to
determine its data ID number (3000).
7. Use arrow or number keys to enter 3000, and press [ENTER]. The display now shows
"ManId-3000".
The number of active faults will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 04'.
● If the data ID number is not found, the error message "Invalid Id Entered" is displayed.
Ensure that the data ID is correct.

6.3.1 Flags available to the SOP

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 Fast Setup: control the drive using user-defined bits
controlled by the SOP in Section Planning/Configuring.
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).

6.3.2 Programmable Inputs to the drive

Description
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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
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 Data to Drive Pick List
Variables and Scaling in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data to drive
pick list variables.
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.

Net Input Flag 4 Network2Flag48_I ~ Network2Flag63_I

Example
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;

● The PLC writes the contents of 'Net Input Flag 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_I) to create an input
medium voltage trip.

6.3.3 Programmable Outputs from the drive

Description
There are 64 output 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 from drive register that is programmable using Table Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
You will see that the first programmable data from drive register for network 1 is register
'Data from Drive 03', which corresponds to parameter ID (9403).
2. Enter parameter ID (9403).
3. The pick list of data from drive variables will appear. Refer to Table Data from Drive Pick List
Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data from drive pick list
variables.
4. Scroll through the pick list until you come to 'Net1 Out Reg 1' and press [ENTER]. This
setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
5. Select 'Net1 Out Reg 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.

Net2 Out Reg 3 Network2Flag32_O ~ Network2Flag47_O
Net2 Out Reg 4 Network2Flag48_O ~ Network2Flag63_O

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.

6.5 Planning/Configuring

6.5.1 Overview: planning/configuring

This section describes the setup methods available for communication. The following topics
are explained:
● Fast setup procedures
● Network interfaces
● 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.

6.5.2 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 in
Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing.
To control the drive from a PLC using the default configuration, 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 2: 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 2 : 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 "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;

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.

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'.

6.5.3 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' (9961) and 'Gateway address'
(9962). The default subnet mask and gateway address work for most network
configurations.
3. Set parameter 'IP Address' (9960). The IP address must be unique to the drive.

 Ethernet / IP Communication
6.5 Planning/Configuring

4. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units.
5. Refer to the Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication
Protocol Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to obtain the addresses 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.
The general drive status bits found in register 'Data from Drive 01' are defined in the following
table.

6.5.4 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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from the
PLC.

6.5.5 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'. When
using Network 1 refer to Table Network 1: Configure Parameters Menu (9902). When using
Network 2, refer to Table Network 2: Configure Parameters Menu (9916).
3. Set parameter 'IP Address'. The IP address must be unique to the drive. When using
Network 1 refer to Table Network 1: Configure Parameters Menu (9902). When using
Network 2, refer to Table Network 2: Configure Parameters Menu (9916).
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 Software Programming to find the bits and locate the associated keypad pick list
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:
RawDemandNetwork1_O = true;

6.5.8 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.
The network status is automatically detected. The detection time takes approximately 20 -
40 milliseconds. If a longer time-out period is desired for a network that automatically detects
the network status, it must be implented through SOP Logic.

6.5.9 Network Setup Procedure

Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the NXGpro Control Operating Manual for further information on security access levels
and codes.

Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table Configure Parameters
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.

Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "Ethernet/IP" and press
[ENTER]. The configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
3. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x command speed where –125 % to 125 %
4. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.

5. Use Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to program the drive to send data to
and receive commands from the network. The table provides all available addresses with
corresponding parameter ID as well as pre-programmed addresses, which provide basic
drive send and receive functionality and are not changeable.
6. Define the bits in the available addresses using one of the following methods:
● Enter from a choice of variables in the pick lists. The pick lists in the menus contain the most
commonly used data variables. Refer to Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the
pick lists.
Note
A pick list item can only be used once for each 'Data to Drive' register.

● For 'Data from Drive' registers, choose pick list option "Man Id" (manual ID) to manually
enter a variable that is not included in the pick lists, using the output data ID number. Use
the list of data IDs available in Appendix Output Data IDs to locate the variable and use the
corresponding ID number to enter the variable into the 'Data from Drive' register.
Note
The output data ID number is not the same as a parameter ID number.

● Custom program using the drive's SOP. Refer to Section Software Programming for details.
Note
The PLC can receive data from the drive without any changes to the SOP.
Only if you need to control the drive through the network will you need to set any flags in the
SOP.

This chapter contains instructions for controlling the drive using a PLC over a Profibus™
network. It addresses the following topics:
● Description of the interface
● User Programming
● Parameter assignment and addressing
● Configuration and setup options

7.1 Description
The drive supports Profibus™ communication via an Anybus™ Profibus™ module.
Profibus™ communication functions in the following way:
● Profibus™ is a token ring network. Master devices (or active stations) are those devices that
initiate communication. When a master receives the "token" it may then perform master-
slave communications with its slaves (or passive stations).
● The drive acts as a slave (passive station) on the Profibus™ network. The drive auto detects
the baud rate from the network.
The Anybus™ module has a 9 pin DB-9F connector. Pin 3 is the positive data pin (RxD/TxD-P)
and pin 8 is the negative connection (RxD/TxD-N). The modules support the following baud
rates:
● 9.6 kbit/sec
● 19.2 kbit/sec
● 93.75 kbit/sec
● 187.5 kbit/sec
● 500 kbit/sec
● 1.5 Mbit/sec
● 3 Mbit/sec
● 6 Mbit/sec
● 12 Mbit/sec.
Profibus is a trademark of the Profibus Trade Organization.
To enable dual network functionality, this protocol requires an additional Anybus™ Profibus™
module.

7.2 Software Programming

Programming Procedure
1. Locate the first data to drive register that is programmable using Table Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
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 Data to Drive Pick List
Variables and Scaling in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data to drive
pick list variables.
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.

7.2 Software Programming

Example
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;

● The PLC writes the contents of 'Net Input Flag 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_I) to create an input
medium voltage trip.

7.2.2 Programmable Outputs from the Drive

Description
There are 64 output 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 from drive register that is programmable using Table Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
You will see that the first programmable data from drive register for network 1 is register
'Data from Drive 03', which corresponds to parameter ID (9403).
2. Enter parameter ID (9403).
3. The pick list of data from drive variables will appear. Refer to Table Data from Drive Pick List
Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data from drive pick list
variables.
4. Scroll through the pick list until you come to 'Net1 Out Reg 1' and press [ENTER]. This
setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
5. Select 'Net1 Out Reg 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.
The pick list variables and the corresponding programmable output bits are found in the
following tables for network 1 and 2, respectively.

Net2 Out Reg 4 Network2Flag48_O ~ Network2Flag63_O

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 Profibus 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.

7.3 Parameter Assignment/Addressing

7.3.1 Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address
The following table provides drive parameter IDs and the corresponding Profibus™ network
register. The following data is provided:
● Parameter ID
The drive parameter ID number to enter via the keypad or the ToolSuite.
● Profibus™ Network Data
Profibus™ uses a pre-defined byte count to communicate between the master and the
drive.
– The drive uses up to 136 bytes for input and output; 128 bytes are used to form the 64
16-bit registers (2 bytes per register) and 8 bytes are ‘reserved’ for future use.
– The data received (128 bytes) is mapped to the 64 data to drive registers and the data
sent to the PLC is defined using the 64 data from drive registers.
– Network data size may be limited to 16, 32, 64, 96, 128, or 136 bytes for input and output
using parameter 'Network 1 I/O Size' (9951) or 'Network 2 I/O Size' (9952). At 136 bytes,
only 128 are available to the user. You must configure the Profibus™ master to have the
same quantity of bytes.
– Each network register is 16 bits (2 bytes). The order of the bytes can be swapped to
match the network data format (9953, 9954).
● Data From Drive
Data that the PLC will receive from the drive to determine how the drive is functioning.
Each register contains a 16-bit digital representation of the status of a particular aspect of
drive functionality.
Some registers are fixed to track certain drive functions; others are programmable to track
any of a number of drive status choices.
● Data To Drive
Data that the PLC will send to the drive to control it.
Each register contains a 16-bit digital representation of the PLC's command for a particular
aspect of drive functionality.
Some registers are fixed to control certain functions; others are programmable to control
any of a number of drive function choices.

7.4 Planning/Configuring
This section describes the setup methods available for communication. The following topics
are explained:
● Fast setup procedures
● PLC setup
● 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.

7.4.1 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 in
Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing.
To control the drive from a PLC using the default configuration, complete the following steps.
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "Profibus".
2. Set parameter 'Profibus Address' (9904) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. 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.
4. Add the following line to the SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;

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.

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'.

7.4.2 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 "Profibus".
2. Set parameter 'Profibus Address' (9904) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units.
4. Refer to the Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication
Protocol Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to obtain the addresses for
general status (Data from Drive 01) and motor speed feedback (Data from Drive 02) from
the drive.

7.4.3 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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from the
PLC.

7.4.4 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 "Profibus".
2. Set parameter 'Profibus Address' (9904) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. 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. Next, set up the drive to correspond with the bits you want to use in the SOP. Refer to
Section Software Programming to find the bits and locate the associated keypad pick list
variable, and use the procedures detailed in this section to complete set up.
5. To enable speed settings from the network, add the following line to the SOP file:
RawDemandNetwork1_O = true;

7.4.5 PLC Setup using GSD files

A GSD file is a device description file in a specified format. The format must conform to the
Profibus™ Trade Organization (PTO) guidelines. Contact Siemens customer service for GSD
files.
Each device on the Profibus™ network must have a GSD file. The GSD file provides all relevant
data associated with a specific device for use by the configuration tool.
The GSD file provides an option for 136 bytes of input and output. If the configuration tool
cannot accommodate 136 bytes, the GSD file allows the choice of adding 8 or 16 bytes at a
time, until the correct quantity of input and output bytes are selected.
● To communicate with the drive, you must configure the Profibus™ master to have the same
quantity of bytes that are set by parameter 'Network 1 I/O Size' (9951) or 'Network 2 I/O
Size' (9952).

7.4.6 Network Setup Procedure

Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the NXGpro Control Operating Manual for further information on security access levels
and codes.

Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table Configure Parameters
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.

Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "Profibus" and press
[ENTER]. The Profibus™ configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'Profibus Address' (9904) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
4. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x commanded speed where –125 % to 125 %
5. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.

6. Use Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to program the drive to send data to
and receive commands from the network. The table provides all available registers with
corresponding parameter ID as well as pre-programmed registers, which provide basic
drive send and receive functionality and are not changeable.
7. Define the bits in the available registers using one of the following methods:
● Enter from a choice of variables in the pick lists. The pick lists in the menus contain the most
commonly used data variables. Refer to Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the
pick lists.
Note
A pick list item can only be used once for each 'Data to Drive' register.

● For 'Data from Drive' registers, choose pick list option "Man Id" (manual ID) to manually
enter a variable that is not included in the pick lists, using the output data ID number. Use
the list of data IDs available in Appendix Output Data IDs to locate the variable and use the
corresponding ID number to enter the variable into the 'Data from Drive' register.
Note
The output data ID number is not the same as a parameter ID number.

● Custom program using the drive's SOP. Refer to Section Software Programming for details.
Note
The PLC can receive data from the drive without any changes to the SOP.
Only if you need to control the drive through the network will you need to set any flags in the
SOP.

Set flags in the SOP for drive control through a network

Ensure the SOP file has the necessary code to enable control of the drive over a network:
1. To control the drive through a network by sending commands to the drive, the following
network control flag must be in the source code of the drive's SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;
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;

7.4.7 Network Status (auto detect)

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.
The network status is automatically detected. Detection time takes approximately 20-40
milliseconds.
If a longer network timeout is desired for a network that automatically detects the network
status, it must be implemented through SOP logic.

7.4.8 Setup Example

Task
Set up network to indicate the following drive outputs on the PLC:
● general status
● motor speed
● output power
● number of active faults.

Procedure
Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to establish whether an address or
register is changeable.
To indicate general status and motor speed:
1. The table shows that:
● 'Data from Drive 01' is not changeable; it is set to indicate general status. No action is
required.
● 'Data from Drive 02' is not changeable; it is set to indicate motor speed. No action is required.
To indicate output power:
1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 03' is changeable, this can be set to indicate output
power.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9403.
3. Enter parameter ID 9403.
4. Choose "output power" from the pick list.
The output power will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 03'.

7.4 Planning/Configuring

To indicate the number of active faults:

1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 04' is changeable, this can be set to indicate the
number of active faults.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9404.
3. Enter parameter ID 9404.
4. The pick list of data from drive variables appears. As "number of active faults" is not an
option in the pick list, you must specify it manually.
5. Refer to Table Data From Drive Pick List Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/
Addressing for a list of 'data from drive' pick list variables.
Since "number of active faults" is not a choice in the pick list, instead choose "Man Id"
(manual ID). The display shows "ManId-0000".
6. Refer to Appendix Output Data IDs and locate "number of active faults" in the tables to
determine its data ID number (3000).
7. Use arrow or number keys to enter 3000, and press [ENTER]. The display now shows
"ManId-3000".
The number of active faults will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 04'.
● If the data ID number is not found, the error message "Invalid Id Entered" is displayed.
Ensure that the data ID is correct.

9.2.1 Programmable Inputs to the Drive

Description
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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
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 Data to Drive Pick List
Variables and Scaling in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data to drive
pick list variables.
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'.

Net Input Flag 4 Network2Flag48_I ~ Network2Flag63_I

Example
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;

● The PLC writes the contents of 'Net Input Flag 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_I) to create an input
medium voltage trip.

9.2.2 Programmable Outputs from the Drive

Description
There are 64 output bits available for user programming through the SOP file. These bits can

setting uses the first 16 bits of the possible 64 bits.
5. Select 'Net1 Out Reg 2' to use the second set of 16 bits, and so on.
The pick list variables and the corresponding programmable output bits are found in the
following tables for network 1 and 2, respectively.

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 DeviceNet network

Network1Flag9_O = MediumVoltageLowFault_I;

9.3 Parameter Assignment/Addressing

● 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.

9.3 Parameter Assignment/Addressing

This section provides the following information for communication configuration and
programming:
● Drive parameter ID and corresponding communication protocol address
● Parameter tables:
– Network configuration parameters
– Network 1 configuration parameters
– Network 2 configuration parameters
● Pick list variable tables:
– Data from Drive variables

9.3.1 Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address
The following table provides drive parameter IDs and the corresponding Profibus™ network
register. The following data is provided:
● Parameter ID
The drive parameter ID number to enter via the keypad or the ToolSuite.
● DeviceNet™ Network Data
DeviceNet™ (Profile 12) uses a pre-defined byte count to communicate between the master
and the drive.
– The drive uses up to 136 bytes for input and output; 128 bytes are used to form the 64
16-bit registers (2 bytes per register) and 8 bytes are ‘reserved’ for future use.
– The data received (128 bytes) is mapped to the 64 data to drive registers and the data
sent to the PLC is defined using the 64 data from drive registers.
– Network data size may be limited to 16, 32, 64, 96, 128, or 136 bytes for input and output
using parameter 'Network 1 I/O Size' (9951) or 'Network 2 I/O Size' (9952). At 136 bytes,
only 128 are available to the user. You must configure the DeviceNet™ master to have
the same quantity of bytes.

9.4 Planning/Configuring
This section describes the setup methods available for communication. The following topics
are explained:
● Fast setup procedures
● PLC setup
● 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.

9.4.1 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 in
Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing.
To control the drive from a PLC using the default configuration, complete the following steps.
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "DeviceNet".
2. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Baud Rate' (9905); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Address' (9908) 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 9-20 Default definitions of Fixed Register Bits

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.

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'.

9.4.2 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 "DeviceNet".
2. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Baud Rate' (9905); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Address' (9908) 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 Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication
Protocol Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to obtain the addresses for
general status (Data from Drive 01) and motor speed feedback (Data from Drive 02) from
the drive.

9.4.3 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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from the
PLC.

9.4.4 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 "DeviceNet".
2. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Baud Rate' (9905); this must match the baud rate of the PLC

9.4.5 PLC Setup using EDS files

Overview
An EDS file is a device description file in a specified format. The format must conform to the
ODVA guidelines. Contact Siemens customer service for EDS files.
Each device on the DeviceNet™ network must have an EDS file. The EDS file provides all
relevant data associated with a specific device for use by the configuration tool.
The EDS file provides an option for more than 136 bytes of input and output; however, the drive
only uses up to 136 bytes of input and output. If the configuration tool cannot accommodate 136
bytes, you can modify the I/O Size, until the correct quantity of input and output bytes are
selected:
● To communicate with the drive, you must configure the DeviceNet™ master to have the
same quantity of bytes that are set by parameter 'Network 1 I/O Size' (9951) or 'Network
2 I/O Size' (9952).

9.4.6 Network Setup Procedure

Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the NXGpro Control Operating Manual for further information on security access levels
and codes.

Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table Configure Parameters
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.

Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "DeviceNet" and press
[ENTER]. The DeviceNet™ configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Baud Rate' (9905); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Address' (9908) to the desired network address for the drive.
4. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
5. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x commanded speed where –125 % to 125 %
6. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.

7. Use Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to program the drive to send data to
and receive commands from the network. The table provides all available registers with
corresponding parameter ID as well as pre-programmed registers, which provide basic
drive send and receive functionality and are not changeable.
8. Define the bits in the available registers using one of the following methods:
● Enter from a choice of variables in the pick lists. The pick lists in the menus contain the most
commonly used data variables. Refer to Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the
pick lists.
Note
A pick list item can only be used once for each 'Data to Drive' register.

● For 'Data from Drive' registers, choose pick list option "Man Id" (manual ID) to manually
enter a variable that is not included in the pick lists, using the output data ID number. Use
the list of data IDs available in Appendix Output Data IDs to locate the variable and use the
corresponding ID number to enter the variable into the 'Data from Drive' register.
Note
The output data ID number is not the same as a parameter ID number.

● Custom program using the drive's SOP. Refer to Section Software Programming for details.
Note
The PLC can receive data from the drive without any changes to the SOP.
Only if you need to control the drive through the network will you need to set any flags in the
SOP.

Set flags in the SOP for drive control through a network

Ensure the SOP file has the necessary code to enable control of the drive over a network:
1. To control the drive through a network by sending commands to the drive, the following
network control flag must be in the source code of the drive's SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;
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;

9.4.7 Network Status (auto detect)

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.
The network status is automatically detected. Detection time takes approximately 20-40
milliseconds.
If a longer network timeout is desired for a network that automatically detects the network
status, it must be implemented through SOP logic.

9.4.8 Setup Example

Task
Set up network to indicate the following drive outputs on the PLC:
● general status
● motor speed
● output power
● number of active faults.

Procedure
Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to establish whether an address or
register is changeable.
To indicate general status and motor speed:
1. The table shows that:
● 'Data from Drive 01' is not changeable; it is set to indicate general status. No action is
required.
● 'Data from Drive 02' is not changeable; it is set to indicate motor speed. No action is required.
To indicate output power:
1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 03' is changeable, this can be set to indicate output
power.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9403.
3. Enter parameter ID 9403.
4. Choose "output power" from the pick list.
The output power will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 03'.

9.4 Planning/Configuring

To indicate the number of active faults:

1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 04' is changeable, this can be set to indicate the
number of active faults.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9404.
3. Enter parameter ID 9404.
4. The pick list of data from drive variables appears. As "number of active faults" is not an
option in the pick list, you must specify it manually.
5. Refer to Table Data From Drive Pick List Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/
Addressing for a list of 'data from drive' pick list variables.
Since "number of active faults" is not a choice in the pick list, instead choose "Man Id"
(manual ID). The display shows "ManId-0000".
6. Refer to Appendix Output Data IDs and locate "number of active faults" in the tables to
determine its data ID number (3000).
7. Use arrow or number keys to enter 3000, and press [ENTER]. The display now shows
"ManId-3000".
The number of active faults will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 04'.
● If the data ID number is not found, the error message "Invalid Id Entered" is displayed.
Ensure that the data ID is correct.

10.2.1 Programmable Inputs to the Drive

Description
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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
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 Data to Drive Pick List
Variables and Scaling in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for a list of data to drive
pick list variables.
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'.

Net Input Flag 4 Network2Flag48_I ~ Network2Flag63_I

Example
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;

● The PLC writes the contents of 'Net Input Flag 1', bit 9 (Network1Flag9_I) to create an input
medium voltage trip.

10.4 Planning/Configuring
This section describes the setup methods available for communication. The following topics
are explained:
● Fast setup procedures
● PLC setup
● 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.

10.4.1 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 in
Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing.
To control the drive from a PLC using the default configuration, complete the following steps.
1. Set parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901) to "ControlNet".
2. Set parameter 'ControlNet Address' (9903) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. 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.
4. Add the following line to the SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;

Table 10-20 Default definitions of Fixed Register Bits

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.

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'.

10.4.2 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 "ControlNet".
2. Set parameter 'ControlNet Address' (9903) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units.
4. Refer to the Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication
Protocol Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to obtain the addresses for
general status (Data from Drive 01) and motor speed feedback (Data from Drive 02) from
the drive.

10.4.3 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 Correspondence
between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol Address in Section Parameter
Assignment/Addressing.
3. Send 0x61 in register 'Data to Drive 01' . The motor now accepts the speed setting from the
PLC.

10.4.4 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 "ControlNet".
2. Set parameter 'ControlNet Address' (9903) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. 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. Next, set up the drive to correspond with the bits you want to use in the SOP. Refer to
Section Software Programming to find the bits and locate the associated keypad pick list
variable, and use the procedures detailed in this section to complete set up.
5. To enable speed settings from the network, add the following line to the SOP file:
RawDemandNetwork1_O = true;

10.4.5 PLC Setup using EDS files

Overview
An EDS file is a device description file in a specified format. The format must conform to the
ControlNet™ Trade Organization (CTO) guidelines. Contact Siemens customer service for
EDS files.
Each device on the ControlNet™ network must have an EDS file. The EDS file provides all
relevant data associated with a specific device for use by the configuration tool.
● To communicate with the drive, you must configure the ControlNet™ master to have 136
input bytes and 136 output bytes.

10.4.6 Network Setup Procedure

Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the NXGpro Control Operating Manual for further information on security access levels
and codes.

Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table Configure Parameters
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.

Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "ControlNet" and press
[ENTER]. The ControlNet™ configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'ControlNet Address' (9903) to the desired network address for the drive.
3. Some networks require a 4-byte header in the data from the drive. To use this, set parameter
'ControlNet Header' (9956) to "On".
4. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
5. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x commanded speed where –125 % to 125 %
6. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.

7. Use Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol

Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to program the drive to send data to
and receive commands from the network. The table provides all available registers with
corresponding parameter ID as well as pre-programmed registers, which provide basic
drive send and receive functionality and are not changeable.
8. Define the bits in the available registers using one of the following methods:
● Enter from a choice of variables in the pick lists. The pick lists in the menus contain the most
commonly used data variables. Refer to Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the
pick lists.
Note
A pick list item can only be used once for each 'Data to Drive' register.

● For 'Data from Drive' registers, choose pick list option "Man Id" (manual ID) to manually
enter a variable that is not included in the pick lists, using the output data ID number. Use
the list of data IDs available in Appendix Output Data IDs to locate the variable and use the
corresponding ID number to enter the variable into the 'Data from Drive' register.
Note
The output data ID number is not the same as a parameter ID number.

● Custom program using the drive's SOP. Refer to Section Software Programming for details.
Note
The PLC can receive data from the drive without any changes to the SOP.
Only if you need to control the drive through the network will you need to set any flags in the
SOP.

Set flags in the SOP for drive control through a network

Ensure the SOP file has the necessary code to enable control of the drive over a network:
1. To control the drive through a network by sending commands to the drive, the following
network control flag must be in the source code of the drive's SOP:
Network1RunEnable_O = TRUE;
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;

10.4.7 Network Status (auto detect)

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.
The network status is automatically detected. Detection time takes approximately 20-40
milliseconds.
If a longer network timeout is desired for a network that automatically detects the network
status, it must be implemented through SOP logic.

10.4.8 Setup Example

Task
Set up network to indicate the following drive outputs on the PLC:
● general status
● motor speed
● output power
● number of active faults.

Procedure
Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to establish whether an address or
register is changeable.
To indicate general status and motor speed:
1. The table shows that:
● 'Data from Drive 01' is not changeable; it is set to indicate general status. No action is
required.
● 'Data from Drive 02' is not changeable; it is set to indicate motor speed. No action is required.
To indicate output power:
1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 03' is changeable, this can be set to indicate output
power.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9403.
3. Enter parameter ID 9403.
4. Choose "output power" from the pick list.
The output power will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 03'.

10.4 Planning/Configuring

To indicate the number of active faults:

1. The table shows that 'Data from Drive 04' is changeable, this can be set to indicate the
number of active faults.
2. Refer to Table Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address to determine that the corresponding parameter ID is 9404.
3. Enter parameter ID 9404.
4. The pick list of data from drive variables appears. As "number of active faults" is not an
option in the pick list, you must specify it manually.
5. Refer to Table Data From Drive Pick List Variables in Section Parameter Assignment/
Addressing for a list of 'data from drive' pick list variables.
Since "number of active faults" is not a choice in the pick list, instead choose "Man Id"
(manual ID). The display shows "ManId-0000".
6. Refer to Appendix Output Data IDs and locate "number of active faults" in the tables to
determine its data ID number (3000).
7. Use arrow or number keys to enter 3000, and press [ENTER]. The display now shows
"ManId-3000".
The number of active faults will be sent to the PLC using register 'Data from Drive 04'.
● If the data ID number is not found, the error message "Invalid Id Entered" is displayed.
Ensure that the data ID is correct.

Local HMI and Remote HMI Interfaces 11
11.1 Purpose
The HMI (Human Machine Interface) provides a local and a read-only HMI interface capable of
the monitoring of relevant VFD data. The local interface also allows for the changing of
parameters, and control of the VFD through custom SOP implementation. Both connections act
as servers utilizing the Ethernet Modbus™ protocol.

11.2 Remote Connection (Anybus Network #3)

The Remote HMI connection is considered 'read only' at all times. This interface only allows
reading from the event log, the fault information, the real time data, and parameters from the
VFD. This interface must be enabled through the VFD menu system which can be accessed
either through the keypad or through the ToolSuite software. Communications parameters
relevant to Network 3 in the Communications Menu must be properly configured to enable
communication. Proper configuration is realized by setting up the IP address, subnet, and
gateway address if required, along with setting the remote interface to "Enabled". The port for
connection is always 502 and cannot be changed.
The Remote HMI interface communicates relevant data through pages of 256 Register Data
defined by the Memory map below. The data being received will depend on the pages as
selected by the Data Request Registers or DRR’s (Registers 40257 – DRR0 and 40258 –
DRR1). The default setting of these registers is 0 and 0 which will result in the return of the first
256 items in the Memory Map upon request. To increment through the pages, increment the
value of DRR1 by one at a time, up to 0x0003 (4 total pages). Each increment of DRR1 will call
for the next 256 data sets from the memory map to be loaded into the Holding registers for read
by a client. In the event the end of the data pages section is passed, all registers will be returned
with values 0xFFFF. It is also recommended that a heartbeat be provided at register 40259 to
ensure continuity of your connection.
The fault section of data pages can be loaded by setting the value of DRR0 to 0x0001. It is
recommended that whenever DRR0 is incremented, DRR1 be returned to 0x0000 to start at the
first page of the data being requested. The fault data is split into 9 pages of data that will only
actually fill the first 252 registers of the 256 total available registers. Please see the memory
map for a detailed description on how the fault information is passed.
By starting with DRR0 = 0x0001 and DRR1 = 0x0000, you can then increment DRR1 by 1 per
read, up to 0x0008 to receive the entirety of the fault information. If you exceed the highest page
value determined by the number of faults available, the interface will continue to return the
highest valid page of the fault log available. Once repeating data is shown after an increment
of DRR1, this is an indication that the complete fault data has been read.
The Event Log section of data pages can be loaded by setting the value of DRR0 to 0x0002.
Again, it is recommended that any time DRR0 is incremented, DRR1 be reset to 0x0000. The
event log will be read in pages of 256 registers (as with the other data pages) with two
characters filling each register, that is, each page of the Fault Log will contain 512 ASCII
characters pulled directly from the event log. The number of available pages is completely

NXGpro Communication

Local HMI and Remote HMI Interfaces
11.3 Remote Connection Security

dependent on the size of the current event log. Reads of the 256 registers, and increments of
DRR1 should be performed until several registers filled with 0xFFFF are seen, this marks the
end of the event log data. For an updated event log, DRR0 can be reset to 0x0000 after multiple
reads/increments have been performed.

11.4 Local Connection (CPU Ethernet)

11.4 Local Connection (CPU Ethernet)

The Local HMI interface functions much in the same way as the Remote HMI interface. The
local interface uses the IP settings of the VFD (set through the keypad or ToolSuite) and
functions as an Ethernet Modbus server. The local interface must however be enabled in the
communications menu. The local interface will always operate on port 503.
The main differences between the local and remote interfaces are:
● the local interface allows for much larger pages sizes per DRR1 request (1034 registers)
● the local interface allows for setting of parameters and control of the VFD through custom
SOP implementation
The same functionality as the remote interface is utilized for selecting the data to be read
except:
● DRR0 is at register 41035
● DRR1 is at register 41036
● pages are much larger (1024 registers of data, another 10 registers at the end for
configurable parameter displays – more description of the configurable parameter registers
is below).
For receiving standard drive data at DRR0 = 0x0000, no increments of DRR1 are required. All
relevant drive data is loaded into a set of 1024 holding registers to be read by the client.
As with the remote interface, when DRR0 = 0x0001, the 1024 holding registers will be loaded
with fault data. When DRR0 = 0x0002, the 1024 holding registers are loaded with the ASCII
representation of the event log, with two ASCII characters per register.
The write area of the local interface begins with the DRR Registers at 41035 and 41036. These
registers can be set at any time and function in the same way as the DRR’s in the remote
interface. The next set of registers in the write area, up to register 41142, will require that
register 41037 be set with a specific "Handshake" value, and that register 41028 be provided
with a heartbeat. Lack of a heartbeat for 5 seconds will result in disconnect being indicated. In
addition, lack of a "Handshake" value will force a read only state and will not allow data to be
written.
A parameter enabling read/write will also need to be set in the communications menu to allow
for a read/write interface. This allows the user to disable the local write interface iif ever
required, regardless of whether or not the proper permissions on the write interface have been
met.
For information on configuration to produce the required "Handshake" value required by the
write interface, please contact Siemens . As this information is relevant to the security of the
connection, a non-disclosure agreement may be requested prior to providing this information.
It is also recommended that the handshake value be reset to 0x0000 when the write side of the
interface is not in use. The majority of the required registers for commissioning are contained
within registers 41044 through 41122. The parameter that will be changed by altering the value
of these registers are shown on the memory map. Simply send a value per the description/units
section of the memory map to the appropriate register to set a parameter. Please note, if
description/unit states picklist, you must consult the control manual (supplied with your drive)
for a definition of the allowable picklist items which will be translated as an integer value 0 – X
where X is the last item in the picklist.

Local HMI and Remote HMI Interfaces
11.5 Memory Map HMI Data To Drive

HMI Control
Control from the local HMI interface must be implemented through the SOP. A speed demand
register at 41039 and a set of 64 SOP flags have been included in the interface to allow the
changing of SOP bits through registers 41040 – 41043. By setting bit field values to these
registers, the state of the SOP flags can be changed; and if implemented in the SOP, can be
used to perform any relevant actions that could be triggered through the SOP (for example start
and stop of the system).

Note
Correct Configuration of HMI Flags
Locall HMI interface must be implemented through the SOP by setting bit field values to
registers 41040 – 41043. These flags will perform NO actions if not set up in the SOP.

Configurable Registers
Although the common registers used for commissioning are directly available at the write
interface of the local HMI connection, other parameters may need to be set from this interface.
Therefore, a set of 10 configurable registers are mplemented.
The configurable registers work as follows:
A valid parameter ID not representing a function is provided to one of the configurable registers
at 41123 – 41132. The requested parameter value of the parameter ID sent to these registers
can be read at 41025 – 41034. These relate in a 1:1 manner, that is. if parameter ID is sent to
41122, the value of this parameter can be read back at 41025. The value of the requested
parameter IDs can then be set at registers 41133 – 41142, and again, will relate in a 1:1
manner. So the first requested parameter ID set at 41123, can be read back at 41025, and can
be set at 41133. This part of the write interface allows for the setting of any requested register
beyond the standard registers listed in the memory map. The same rules apply for setting these
parameters but the control manual must be consulted for any requested parameters to properly
set the value of the parameter at the interface. Invalid values will not be accepted and will show
no change when read back if an invalid value was provided.

Note
In implementation, you can cyclically set and read the configurable parameters to provide a
read out of all parameter values beyond what is listed by standard in the read side of the
memory map.

Fault and Alarm Data

● Faults are enabled using one of these options:
– always enabled (when the fault occurs, the fault bit will be set).
– enabled by a bit in the SOP drctry file (the fault bit will only be set if the enable bit is set
on in the SOP drtry file).

Note
System Operating Programs (SOPs) are written and modified by Siemens engineers.
The following data is for information purposes only.
For further information on these parameters, refer to the Operation Chapter of the Operating
Instructions Manual.

● Description of faults and alarms:

– Faults: Once a fault occurs, the drive is immediately tripped (stopped). It is not possible
to run the drive again until the fault is cleared.
– Alarms: An alarm is an indication of a potential trouble condition. An alarm will not trip or
stop the drive. An alarm cannot be reset by any action. The only way an alarm is reset
is when the condition that caused the alarm ceases to exist. An alarm can be
acknowledged by attempting to reset either by the drive tool (reset button), keypad (reset
key), digital input, SOP flag, menu, auto reset, or through a communication bit. Once an
alarm condition does not exist, and it has not been acknowledged, it is in an
“unacknowledged” state and the unacknowledged bits will remain high until they are
acknowledged.
– Active Faults: This bit is high when the fault is active or in an active state.

Note
Bits not listed in the following tables are undefined.

Table B-7 Number of Faults and Alarms

Data ID Bit Description Value

3000 N/A Number of active faults 0 – 255
3010 N/A Number of unacknowledged alarms 0 – 255
3020 N/A Number of active alarms 0 – 255

* Network flags are mapped using the SOP

The Enable Column within Tables Fault Word 1 to 4 is defined as follows:
● F = fixed (always enabled and not changeable by the user)
● PE = programmable to enable (default state is enabled)
● PD = programmable to disable (default state is disabled)

Description
Use parameter 'Display Network Monitor' (9950) to view the values of network registers. This
is useful for troubleshooting. As data is transmitted, and the values of the registers change, the
display automatically updates to reflect the changes.

Note
The direction of data transmission shown on the screen is displayed as seen by the drive,
meaning that:
● Rx refers to data received into the drive
● Tx refers to data transmitted from the drive.

External Modem D
Overview
The NXGpro control contains a dedicated isolated RS232 port to support the use of an external
modem. The external modem allows for remote monitoring of the NXGpro drive.

Operation
The control software initializes the modem. If no call is in progress, the modem initialization
string will be sent every 30 seconds. This allows the modem to be initialized should it lose
power.
When the external modem receives a phone call it will auto negotiate the baud rate with the
calling modem and send a "RING" command to the NXGpro control. The NXGpro commands
the modem to answer the call. The calling user is then prompted to enter a user ID and
password. The password is verified against the modem password, parameter (9025). If the
password is correct, a menu based text screen is sent to the user for monitoring the drive.
The calling user can monitor drive functions from the built-in text screens. The text screens are
built into the NXGpro software so that only a terminal emulator program is required to monitor
the drive via a modem.
The modem password, parameter (9025), is located in the Serial Port Setup Menu (9010) which
is under the Communications Menu. The modem password is four characters. Each character
can be set from 0 to 9 or A to Z by scrolling through each character.

Table D-1 Serial Port Setup Menu (9010)

Parameter ID Units Default Min Max Description

Modem pass‐ 9025 NXG1 Set the modem password for serial port use. Enter the four
word character password that can consist of 0 to 9, A to Z, by
scrolling through each character.

Parameter Read/Write E
The 'parameter read/write' function allows you to use a PLC to read and write parameter values
in the drive. The following registers are available:
● Parameters To Drive (PTD)
Use these registers to read and write parameter commands, read and write pick list items,
and execute certain functions.
● Parameters From Drive (PFD)
Use these registers to echo the PTD command, hold the PTD read command results, and
produce an error code if the PTD command cannot be performed.

E.1 Setting up the PTD and PFD registers

The following menus and submenus provide access for setting up the PFD and PTD registers:
● Communications Menu (9)
● Submenu Network 1 Configure (9900)
● Submenu Network 2 Configure (9914)
Select PFD and PTD registers using the pick lists listed in the Planning/Configuring Chapter.
The pick lists include the available registers as follows:
● Data from Drive registers for use in IDs 9403 to 9464:
– PFD1
– PFD2
– PFD3
– PFD4
● Data to Drive registers for use in IDs 9603 to 9664:
– PTD1
– PTD2
– PTD3
– PTD4

Note
Place each set of 4 registers in sequential IDs.
Each register performs a specific function.

E.4 PLC handshaking procedure for parameter read/write

Register Setup
Use the following procedure to enter and change parameter data in PTD and PFD registers:
1. Write the register data into PTD3 and PTD4 for commands that require PLC data.
2. Write the parameter ID into the PTD2 register.
3. Poll until PFD2 register value equals PTD2 register value (menu ID echo).
4. Write the command type into the PTD1 register.
5. Perform handshake: Poll until the lower 7 bits (0-6) in the PFD1 register are equal to the
value in the PTD1 register (command echo).

Parameter Read/Write
E.4 PLC handshaking procedure for parameter read/write

6. Error testing:
– Test bit 7 of PFD1 (command echo flag).
– If bit 7 is set, the upper byte of PFD1 is the error code.
– If bit 7 is clear, the upper byte of PFD1 contains the 4-bit exponent for the data if the
command was "Read Parameter Value." For all other commands, the upper byte is zero.
7. Read data: Read register data in PFD3 and PFD4 (commands that return PCD data).
8. End the command: Write zero into the PTD1 register (reset the command).

Example: Changing Parameter 'Rated input voltage' (2010)

To change parameter 'Rated input voltage' (2010) to 3000, proceed as follows:
1. Write 3000 to PTD3. This is the new voltage.
PTD4 is not needed.
2. Write 2010 to PTD2. This is the parameter ID for rated input voltage.
3. Poll PFD2 until its value equals 2010 (the value of PTD2).
4. Write 22 to PTD1. This is the Write Parameter Value command.
5. Poll bits 0 to 6 of PTD1 until the value equals 22 (the value of PTD1).
6. When PFD2 equals PTD2 and the lower 6 bits of PFD1 equal PTD1, test bit 7 of PFD1.
– If bit 7 of PFD1 is not set, read bits 8 to 11 for the exponent.
– If bit 7 of PFD1 is set, read bits 8 to 15 for the error code.
7. Read PFD3 and PFD4 for the new value.
8. Write 0 to PTD1.

Multiplexer (MUX) Data Registers F
Description
Multiplexer (MUX) data registers are used when a PLC needs to read more registers than the
number of built in 'Data from Drive' registers, which is 64.
The drive has 8 MUX registers. Each MUX register uses:
● 1 'Data to Drive' register
● 2 'Data from Drive' registers.
The MUX data can access any manual ID register from the drive. Using MUX data registers
requires "handshaking" to take place between the PLC and the drive. MUX data allows the PLC
to access more than 64 registers worth of data but at a slower rate.

Setup Procedure
1. Set one of the 62 programmable 'Data from Drive' registers to "Mux1 Data".
2. Set one of the 62 programmable 'Data from Drive' registers to "Mux1 Echo".
3. Set one of the 62 programmable 'Data to Drive' registers to "Mux1 Id".
4. Repeat the steps above to use additional MUX registers (Mux2 to Mux8).

Operation
The handshaking operates in the following way:
● The PLC writes a manual ID number into the "Mux1 Id" register.
● The PLC polls the "Mux1 Echo" register until the manual ID set in the "Mux1 Id" register is
present in the "Mux1 Echo" register.
● The PLC reads the data from the "Mux1 Data" register. The data is the value for the manual
ID.

Overview
The internal drive network feature supports communication between a coolant system cabinet
and the drive control cabinet via an internal network.
This appendix provides information relating to this network, but this feature is not intended for
direct customer use; however, the data can be supplied to Network 1 or 2.

Description
The internal drive network is implemented as an Modbus™ Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) socket in
the NXGpro Control and is described in the pages that follow.

Network Parameters
The following parameters are used by the internal drive network and are fixed in the drive
control software:

Network Parameters Value

Network Modbus™ Ethernet
Connector NXGpro CPU Ethernet Port
IP Address Same as the NXG TCP/IP Address
Ethernet Port 5002
Network Timeout 3 seconds

Network Registers
The network comprises of 10 16-bit output registers (from NXGpro) and 16 16-bit input registers
(to NXGpro). The first register in each direction is a handshake register to validate network
communication for network timeout. The next 9 registers in each direction are each mapped as
16 discrete bit values. There are also 6 16-bit analog input values in the to-drive direction. Refer
to the following table.

computer codes used for the representation of text.

Baud rate
Baud rate is a measure of the switching speed of a line, representing the number of changes
of state of the line per second. The baud rate of the serial port is selected through the Baud Rate
parameter in the Communications Menu [9].

Bit
Bit is an acronym for BInary digiT. Typically, bits are used to indicate either a true (1) or false
(0) state within the drive’s programming.

Boolean algebra
A form of mathematical rules developed by the mathematician George Boole used in the design
of digital and logic systems.

Carrier frequency
Carrier frequency is the set switching frequency of the power devices (IGBTs) in the power
section of each cell. The carrier frequency is measured in cycles per second (Hz).

A comparator is a device that compares 2 quantities and determines their equality. The
comparator submenus allow the programmer to specify two variables to be compared. The
results of the custom comparison operations can be used in the system program.

Configuration Update
see Tool Suite definition.

Converter
The converter is the component of the drive that changes AC voltage to DC voltage.

Critical speed avoidance

Critical speed avoidance is a feature that allows the operator to program up to 3 mechanical
system frequencies that the drive will "skip over" during its operation.

CSMC
An acronym for Closed Loop Synchronous Machine (SM) Control, one of the control modes of
the drive. This is a flux vector control for a synchronous machine, utilizing an encoder for speed
feedback and providing a field excitation command for use by an external field exciter.

DC link
The DC link is a large capacitor bank between the converter and inverter section of the drive.
The DC link, along with the converter, establishes the voltage source for the inverter.

De Morgan’s Theorem

devices. The use of a PC for downloading requires special serial communications software to
be available on the PC, which may link to the drive via RS232 or through the Host Simulator via
an ethernet connection.

DRCTRY
Directory file for system tokens and flags used in the compilation of system programs. It
provides a direct lookup table of ASCII names to internal ID numbers. It also identifies whether
the flag is a word or bit-field, and also whether it can be used as an input or output only, or can
be used for both.

Drive
The term "drive" refers to the power conversion equipment that converts utility power into power
for a motor in a controlled manner.

ELV
ELV is an acronym for extra low voltage, and represents any voltage not exceeding a limit that
is generally accepted to be 50 VAC and 120 VDC (ripple free).

EMC
EMC is an acronym for electromagnetic compatibility–the ability of equipment to function
satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable
electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment.

ESD
ESD is an acronym for ElectroStatic Discharge. ESD is an undesirable electrical side effect that
occurs when static charges build up on a surface and are discharged to another. When printed
circuit boards are involved, impaired operation and component damage are possible side
effects due to the static-sensitive nature of the PC board components. These side effects may
manifest themselves as intermittent problems or total component failures. It is important to
recognize that these effects are cumulative and may not be obvious.

Fault log
Fault messages are saved to memory so that the operator may view them at a later time. This
memory location is called the fault log. The fault log lists both fault and alarm messages, the
date and time that they occurred, and the time and date that they are reset.

Faults
Faults are error conditions that have occurred in the system. The severity of faults vary.
Likewise, the treatment or corrective action for a fault may vary from changing a parameter
value to replacing a hardware component such as a fuse.

Flash Card
Non-volatile memory storage device for the control. It stores the drive program, system
program, logs, parameters, and other related drive files.

FPGA
Field Programmable Gate Array. An FPGA is an integrated circuit that contains thousands of
logic gates.

Function
A function is one of four components found in the menu system. Functions are built-in programs
that perform specific tasks. Examples of functions include System Program Upload/Download
and Display System Program Name.

Harmonics
Harmonics are undesirable AC currents or voltages at integer multiples of the fundamental
frequency. The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency in the wave form (generally the
repetition frequency). Harmonics are present in any non-sinusoidal wave form and cannot
transfer power on average.
Harmonics arise from non-linear loads in which current is not strictly proportional to voltage.
Linear loads like resistors, capacitors, and inductors do not produce harmonics. However, non-
linear devices such as diodes and silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) do generate harmonic
currents. Harmonics are also found in uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs), rectifiers,
transformers, ballasts, welders, arc furnaces, and personal computers.

Hexadecimal digits
Hexadecimal (or "hex") digits are the "numerals" used to represent numbers in the base 16
(hex) number system. Unlike the more familiar decimal system, which uses the numerals 0
through 9 to make numbers in powers of 10, the base 16 number system uses the numerals 0,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F to make numbers in powers of 16.

Historic log
The historic log is a troubleshooting/diagnostic tool of the control. The historic log continuously
logs drive status, including the drive state, internal fault words, and multiple user-selectable
variables. This information is sampled every slow loop cycle of the control (typically 450 to 900
times per second). If a fault occurs, the log is frozen a predefined number of samples after the
fault event, and data samples prior to and after the fault condition are recorded to allow post-
fault analysis. The number of samples recorded are user-selectable via the control, as well as
the option to record the historic log within the VFD event log.

I/O
I/O is an acronym for input/output. I/O refers to any and all inputs and outputs connected to a
computer system. Both inputs and outputs can be classified as analog (e.g., input power, drive
output, meter outputs, etc.) or digital (e.g., contact closures or switch inputs, relay outputs, etc.).

IGBT
IGBT is an acronym for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors. IGBTs are semiconductors that are
used in the drive to provide reliable, high-speed switching, high-power capabilities, improved
control accuracy, and reduced motor noise.

Induction motor
An induction motor is an AC motor that produces torque by the reaction between a varying
magnetic field (generated in the stator) and the current induced in the coils of the rotor.

Intel hex
Intel hex refers to a file format in which records consist of ASCII format hexadecimal (base 16)
numbers with load address information and error checking embedded.

Inverter
The inverter is a portion of the drive that changes DC voltage into AC voltage. The term
"inverter" is sometimes used mistakenly to refer to the entire drive (the converter, DC link, and
inverter sections).

Jog mode
Jog mode is an operational mode that uses a pre-programmed jog speed when a digital input
(programmed as the jog mode input) is closed.

Jumpers
Jumper blocks are groups of pins that can control functions of the system, based on the state
of the jumpers. Jumpers (small, removable connectors) are either installed (on) or not installed
(off) to provide a hardware switch.

Ladder logic (Also Ladder Diagram)

Loss of signal feature

The loss of signal feature is a control scheme that gives the operator the ability to select one of
three possible actions in the event that the signal from an external sensor, configured to specify
the speed demand, is lost. Under this condition, the operator may program the drive (through
the system program) to (1) revert to a fixed, pre-programmed speed, (2) maintain the current
speed, or (3) perform a controlled (ramped) stop of the drive. By default, current speed is
maintained.

LVD
LVD is an acronym for Low Voltage Directive, a safety directive in the EU.

Lvl RH
This term refers the two security fields associated with each parameter of the system. These
fields allow the operator to individually customize specific security features for each menu
option (submenu, parameter, pick list, and function). These fields are shown in parameter
dumps and have the following meanings. Lvl is the term for the security level. Setting R=1
blocks parameter change, and setting H=1 hides the menu option from view until the
appropriate access level has been activated.

Memory
Memory is the working storage area for the drive that is a collection of RAM chips.

Microprocessor
A microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) that exists on a single silicon chip. The
microprocessor board is the printed circuit board on which the microprocessor is mounted. The
drive employs a single-board computer with a Pentium® microprocessor.

NEMA 1 and NEMA 12

NEMA 1 is an enclosure rating in which no openings allow penetration of a 0.25-inch diameter
rod. NEMA 1 enclosures are intended for indoor use only. NEMA 12 is a more stringent NEMA
rating in which the cabinet is said to be "dust tight" (although it is still not advisable to use NEMA
12 in conductive dust atmospheres). The approximate equivalent IEC rating is IP52.

Normally closed (NC)

Normally closed refers to the contact of a relay that is closed when the coil is de-energized.

Normally open (NO)

Normally open refers to the contact of a relay that is open when the coil is de-energized.

is a flux vector control that is one of the control modes of the drive. The drive computes the
rotational speed of the rotor and uses it for speed feedback.

OOS
OOS is an abbreviation for out of saturation - a type of fault condition in which a voltage drop
is detected across one of the IGBTs during conduction. This can indicate that the motor is
drawing current too rapidly or in excess.

OR
OR is a logical Boolean function whose output is true if any of the inputs is true. In SOP notation,
OR is represented as "+".

Parameter
A parameter is one of four items found in the menu system. Parameters are system attributes
that have corresponding values that can be monitored or, in some cases, changed by the user.

PED
PED is an acronym for pressure equipment directive, a directive of the EU relating to pressure
vessels.

Pick list
A pick list is one of four items found in the menu system. Pick lists are parameters that have a
finite list of pre-defined "values" from which to choose, rather than a value range used by
parameters.

PID
PID is an acronym for proportional + integral + derivative, a control scheme used to control
modulating equipment in such a way that the control output is based on (1) a proportional
amount of the error between the desired setpoint and the actual feedback value, (2) the
summation of this error over time, and (3) the change in error over time. Output contributions
from each of these three components are combined to create a single output response. The
amount of contribution from each component is programmable through gain parameters. By
optimizing these gain parameters, the operator can "tune" the PID control loop for maximum
efficiency, minimal overshoot, quick response time, and minimal cycling.

Qualified user
A qualified user is a properly trained individual who is familiar with the construction and
operation of the equipment and the hazards involved.

RAM
RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory, a temporary storage area for drive
information. The information in RAM is lost when power is no longer supplied to it. Therefore,
it is referred to as volatile memory.

Regeneration
Regeneration is the characteristic of an AC motor to act as a generator when the rotor’s
mechanical frequency is greater than the applied electrical frequency.

Relay
A relay is an electrically controlled device that causes electrical contacts to change their status.
Open contacts will close and closed contacts will open when rated voltage is applied to the coil
of a relay.

RS232C
RS232C is a serial communications standard of the Electronics Industries Association (EIA).

Set point
Set point is the desired or optimal speed of the VFD to maintain process levels (speed
command).

Slip
Slip is the difference between the stator electrical frequency of the motor and the rotor
mechanical frequency of the motor, normalized to the stator frequency as shown in the
following equation:
Slip = (ωS - ωR) / ωS

Slip compensation
Slip compensation is a method of increasing the speed reference to the speed regulator circuit
(based on the motor torque) to maintain motor speed as the load on the motor changes. The
slip compensation circuit increases the frequency at which the inverter section is controlled to
compensate for decreased speed due to load droop. For example, a motor with a full load
speed of 1760 rpm has a slip of 40 rpm. The no load rpm would be 1800 rpm. If the motor
nameplate current is 100 A, the drive is sending a 60 Hz wave form to the motor (fully loaded);
then the slip compensation circuit would cause the inverter to run 1.33 Hz faster to allow the
motor to operate at 1800 rpm, which is the synchronous speed of the motor.

SMC
Is an acronym for Synchronous Motor Control, one of the control modes of the drive. This mode
computes the rotational speed similarly to open-loop vector control, and controls the field
reference or the synchronous motor as in closed-loop synchronous motor control.

SOP
(1) SOP is an acronym for Sum Of Products. The term "sum-of-products" comes from the
application of Boolean algebraic rules to produce a set of terms or conditions that are grouped
in a fashion that represents parallel paths (ORing) of required conditions that all must be met
(ANDing). This would be equivalent to branches of connected contacts on a relay logic ladder
that connect to a common relay coil. In fact, the notation can be used as a shortcut to describe
the ladder logic.
(2) SOP, when used as a filename extension, refers to System Operating Program.

SOP Utilities
The program within the Siemens Tool suite used for converting between text and machine
loadable code. It can also be used for uploading and downloading files over the RS232
connection.
See Tool Suite definition.

Speed Menu function

Speed menu is a feature of the menu system that allows the operator to directly access any of
the menus or parameters, rather than scrolling through menus to the appropriate item. This
feature uses the [Shift] button in conjunction with the right arrow. The user is prompted to enter
the four digit ID number associated with the desired menu or parameter.

Stop mode
Stop mode is used to shut down the drive in a controlled manner, regardless of its current state.

Submenus
A submenu is one of four components found in the menu system. Submenus are nested menus
(i.e., menus within other menus). Submenus are used to logically group menu items based on
similar functionality or use.

Synchronous speed
Synchronous speed refers to the speed of an AC induction motor’s rotating magnetic field. It is
determined by the frequency applied to the stator and the number of magnetic poles present in
each phase of the stator windings. Synchronous Speed equals 120 times the applied
Frequency (in Hz) divided by the number of poles per phase.

System Operating Program

The functions of the programmable inputs and outputs are determined by the default system
program. These functions can be changed by modifying the appropriate setup menus from the
front keypad and display. I/O assignments can also be changed by editing the system program
(an ASCII text file with the extension .SOP), compiling it using the compiler program, and then
downloading it to the controller through its serial port, all by utilizing the SOP Utility Program
with the Siemens ToolSuite.

Tool Suite
Is the suite of programs developed by Siemens that allows easier access to the drive for
programming and monitoring. It is comprised of the following components:
● Tool Suite Launcher - also referred to as Tool Suite; used for coordinating other tools.
● SOP Utilities - used to launch an editor that compiles or reverse compiles a System
Program. It also allows for serial connection to the drive for uploading and downloading
System Programs.
● Configuration Update - allows for backing-up, updating, and cloning drives via direct access
to the Flash Disk.
● Host Simulator - used for monitoring, programming, and controlling a drive remotely from a
PC over the built-in ethernet port of the drive. Parameter changes, status display, and
graphing of internal variables are its main functions.
● Debug Tool - this tool is used to display the diagnostic screens of the drive for diagnosing
drive problems or improving performance via the built-in ethernet port of the drive.

Tool Suite Launcher

see Tool Suite definition.

Torque
The force that produces (or attempts to produce) rotation, as in the case of a motor.

Uploading
Uploading is a process by which information is transmitted from the drive to a remote device
such as a PC. The term uploading implies the transmission of an entire file of information (e.g.,
the system program) rather than continued interactive communications between the two
devices. The use of a PC for uploading requires communications software to be available on
the PC.

Variable frequency drive (VFD)

A VFD is a device that takes a fixed voltage and fixed frequency AC input source and converts
it to a variable voltage, variable frequency output that can control the speed of a motor.

VHZ
Is an acronym for Volts per Hertz control, one of the control modes in the drive. This mode is
intended for multiple motors connected in parallel. Therefore, it disables spinning load and fast
bypass. This is essentially open-loop vector control with de-tuned (smaller bandwidth obtained
by reducing the gain) current regulators.
