Configuring the Adapter 3-3

The I/O configuration determines the type of data sent to the drive. Logic Command/Status and Datalinks may be enabled or disabled.

1. Set the bits in Parameter 9 - [DPI I/O Cfg]. A “1” enables the I/O. A “0” disables it.

Figure 3.1 DPI I/O Configuration Screen

Bit 0 is the right-most bit. In Figure 3.1, it is highlighted and equals “1.”

2. If Logic Command/Reference is enabled, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic Command from the adapter. For example, in a PowerFlex 70 or 700 drive, set Parameter 90 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to “Network” so that the drive uses the Reference from the adapter. For details, refer to the documentation for your drive.

3. If you enabled one or more Datalinks, configure parameters in the drive to determine the source and destination of data in the Datalink(s). For example, configure the Datalinks in a PowerFlex 70 or 700 drive by setting Parameters 300 - [Data In A1] to 317 - [Data Out D2]. Also, ensure that the LonWorks adapter is the only adapter using the enabled Datalink(s). Refer to Chapter 4, Datalink Ins and Chapter 4, Datalink Outs for additional information.

3-4 Configuring the Adapter

By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the drive will remain in its current state (e.g. a running drive will continue to run) until Parameter 7 - [RcvHrtBeat Time] has elapsed.

You can configure different responses to communications disruptions using Parameter 6 - [Comm Flt Action] and Parameter 7 - [RcvHrtBeat Time].

To change the Comm fault action

• Set the value of Parameter 6 - [Comm Flt Action] to the desired response action.

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 6 - [Comm Flt Action] and Parameter 7 - [RcvHrtBeat Time] let you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if communications are disrupted. Take precautions to ensure that the setting of these parameters does not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable).

To set the fault configuration parameters

If you set Parameter 6 - [Comm Flt Action] or Parameter 8 - [Idle Flt Action] to “Send Flt Cfg,” the values in the following parameters are sent to the drive after a communications fault occurs. You must set these parameters to values required by your application.

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Changes to some adapter parameters require that you reset the adapter before the new settings take effect. You can reset the adapter by cycling power to the drive or by using the following parameter:

• Set Parameter 5 - [Reset Module] to Reset Module.

Figure 3.4 Reset Screen on an LCD HIM

When you enter 1 = Reset Module, the adapter will be immediately reset. When you enter 2 = Set Defaults, the adapter will set all adapter parameters to their factory-default settings. After performing a Set Defaults, enter 1 = Reset Module so that the new values take effect. The value of this parameter will be restored to 0 = Ready after performing the reset or setting the defaults.

Chapter 4

Configuring the LonWorks Network

Chapter 4 provides information about configuring network variables to access a PowerFlex 70 or 700 drive when using a LonWorks adapter.

A network variable is a data item that a particular device application program expects to get from other devices on a network (an input network variable) or expects to make available to other devices on a network (an output network variable). Data exchange on a LonWorks network is handled with Standard Network Variable Types (SNVTs), which represent different types of standard data (e.g. temperature, pressure, voltage, etc.).

When a program writes into one of its output network variables, the new value of the network variable is propagated across the network to all nodes with input network variable connected to that output network variable. A network variable can only be bound to another network variable of the same type.

Specific network variables are described in sections Network Variable Inputs (NVIs), Network Variable Outputs (NVOs), and Network Configuration Inputs (NCIs).

Important: Any changes made via the LCD HIM to a parameter that is also updated by the network will be overwritten when the next network update occurs.

4-2 Configuring the LonWorks Network

A LonMark profile defines the functional profile for a node communicating with other nodes. The profile specifies which SNVTs (Standard Network Variable Types) and SCPTs (Standard Configuration Property Types) are used, and provides a semantic meaning about the information being communicated.

When a profile is implemented in a node, it’s called a LonMark object. One node can have several objects implemented. The LonWorks adapter has two objects: a node object and a drive object. The node object is used to control the other objects in a node. See Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1 Node Object

The drive object is based on a specific LonMark functional profile (“Variable Speed Motor Drive: 6010”), as shown in Figure 4.2.

4-4 Configuring the LonWorks Network

The following sections describe the basics of node operation.

WINK (What is a WINK?)

WINK is a network command that verifies communication with a node. The NET A indicator will flash to indicate that a WINK was received. The LED will flash red according to the following sequence:

• 3 fast flashes

• OFF for 1 second

This sequence is repeated 10 times.

If the Node is Offline

If node is brought offline it will not accept any NVI (Network Variable Inputs) settings or update NVOs (Network Variable Outputs). The adapter uses the setting in Parameter 8 - [Idle Flt Action] and issues a command to the drive. NCI (Network Configuration Input) variable updates will be accepted but not forwarded to the drive until the node goes online and/or is reset.

If the Node is Online

The node accepts NCI and NVI settings and updates NVOs.

Configuring the LonWorks Network 4-5

This section provides descriptions of the Network Variable Inputs.

Variable: nviObjRequest

Format: SNVT_obj_request

Explanation:

This input enables control commands and updates from the network to specific objects in the node. The identification number for the node is 0 and for the drive object is 1. The request functionality is the same for both objects. The setting of nviObjRequest does not affect the ability of setting drive speed. The status of the node is reported in nvoObjStatus.

Valid range for object id:

0 and 1.

Valid range for request:

RQ_UPDATE_STATUS updates nvoObjStatus.

RQ_CLEAR_STATUS clears nvoObjStatus.

RQ_CLEAR_ALARM clears a fault in the drive.

RQ_REPORT_MASK reports supported requests in nvoObjStatus.

RQ_NORMAL and RQ_ENABLE are the normal requests when node function is normal.

All other requests are not supported, and any attempt to use them sets the invalid_request bit in nvoObjStatus.

Variable: nviDrvSpeedStpt

Format: SNVT_switch

Explanation:

This network variable input provides a speed reference setpoint. When nviDrvSpeedStpt.state is set to zero, the drive is stopped.

Valid range:

Default value:

Default value is AUTO (state = 0xFF). This value is adapted at power up. This network variable input uses Parameter 7 - [RcvHrtBeat Time] if this function is set up for use. The actual drive speed also depends on nviDrvSpeedScale.

Variable: nviDrvSpeedScale

Format: SNVT_lev_percent

Explanation:

This network variable input provides scaling for nviDrvSpdStpt. For example, if nviDrvSpeedStpt value is 100% and nviDrvSpeedScale value is -150%, then actual speed setpoint value is -150% (reverse direction at 1.5 times nominal speed).

Variable: nviNV_config

Format: UNVT_DPI_CONFIG

Explanation:

This network variable input provides information on how parameters should be mapped to network variables. The NVI contains two fields:

• NV_index

• DPI_parameter

To check an already existing configuration, use the following procedures:

• To check which DPI parameter a network variable is connected to, use nviNV_config with the following data:

UNVT_DPI_CONF.NV_index = NV_index to checkUNVT_DPI_CONF.DPI_parameter = 65535 (decimal)

• To check which network variable a DPI parameter is connected to, use nviNV_config with the following data:

UNVT_DPI_CONF.NV_index = 255 (decimal)UNVT_DPI_CONF.DPI_parameter = DPI parameter to check

The result of the requests above are placed in nvoFB_config. If there is no configuration available, 0 (zero) is returned.

This section will describe what conditions are required for performing some common actions and how the combination of SNVTs and SCPTs affects the operation of the drive.

Starting the Drive

The drive will RUN if nviDrvSpeedStpt.state is TRUE.

Stopping the Drive

The drive stops using the default stop mode if NviSpeedStpt.state is set to zero or if the node is brought offline or disabled, depending on the setting of adapter Parameter 8 - [Idle Flt Action].

Adjusting the Frequency Setting

Actual value written to drive =

nciNmlFreq * (nviDrvSpeedStpt / 100) * (nviDrvSpeedScale / 100)

Explanation:

Nominal frequency is the base for scale and setpoint percent values. See the Network Variable Inputs (NVIs) section for information about nviSpeedStpt and nviSpeedScale.

Resetting Faults

If an error occurs, the drive faults. After removing the cause of the fault and setting nviObjRequest to RQ_CLEAR_ALARM, the drive can be reset.

nciMinOutTm vs. nciSendHrtBt

The nciMinOutTm has priority over nciSendHrtBt. This means that heartbeats will not be sent as often as specified in nciSendHrtBt if nciMinOutTm has a longer time set.

Error Handling

If nciRcvHrtBt is larger than zero, and heartbeats are not received within the nciRcvHrtBt time, then communication with the LonWorks network is considered down. The adapter response to loss of communication depends on the setting of Parameter 6 - [Comm Flt Action].

Refer to Chapter 5, Troubleshooting for more information on potential problems with the adapter and network.

LonMark resource files define the components of the external interface for a LonWorks device. These files allow installation tools and operator interface applications to interpret data produced by a device and to correctly format data sent to a device. They also help a system integrator or system operator to understand how to use a device and to control the LonMark objects on a device.

The LonWorks module uses three types of resource files:

• Type File (.TYP) - Defines network variable, configuration property, and enumerated types. LonMark standard network variable and configuration property types are defined in the STANDARD.TYP file. Type files have a .TYP extension.

• Functional Profile Template (.FPT) - Defines functional profiles that are used for describing LonMark objects. A functional profile specifies the mandatory and optional network variable and configuration property components of a LonMark object. LonMark standard functional profiles are defined in the STANDARD.FPT file. Functional profile templates have a .FPT extension.

• Format File (.FMT) - Defines display and input formats for network variable and configuration property types defined in a type file. Formats for the LonMark standard network variable and configuration property types are defined in the STANDARD.FMT file. Format files have a .FMT extension.

Configuring the LonWorks Network 4-21

In addition to the resource files, the following file types are also used:

• Language File - Defines language-dependent strings. There is a separate language file for each supported language. The supported language file determines the extension of a language file. Two language files are currently available for the LonMark standard type files; these are STANDARD.ENU for American English and STANDARD.ENG for British English.

• XIF File - Defines the external interface for a LonWorks device. This file contains self-documentation information, number of address table entries, number of message tags, and the number, types, and directions of network variables.

The resource files and XIF file are shipped with the LonWorks module on a floppy disk.

Glossary

B BindingA process whereby a network variable input and a network variable output are connected together. Binding a network variable tells the device which other devices it should talk to and what information it should share. Only network variables of the same SNVT type can be bound together. For example, a temperature type could not be bound to a pressure type.

Bus OffA condition that occurs when an abnormal rate of errors is detected in a device. The bus off device cannot receive or transmit messages on the network. This condition is often caused by corruption of the network data signals due to noise or data rate mismatch.

C ChannelThe transmission media that connect devices on the network such as twisted pair 78 kbps or power line carrier. Also called segment.

Configuration Property

A data value used to configure the application program in a device.

D Data RateThe speed at which data is transferred on the network. Each device on a network must be set for the same data rate.

Datalink

A type of pointer used by some drives to transfer data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow specified parameter value(s) to be accessed or changed without using Explicit Messages. The drive determines the size of Datalinks.

Flash Update

The process of updating firmware in the adapter. The adapter can be flash updated using the X-Modem protocol or Control FLASH, and a serial converter.

H Hold Last

When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the adapter and drive can respond by holding last. Hold last results in the drive receiving the last data received via the network connection before the disruption. If the drive was running and using the reference from the adapter, it will continue to run at the same reference.

Human Interface Module (HIM)A device that can be used to configure and control a drive.

I Interoperability

The ability of systems from different manufacturers and of different types to share information with each other without losing any of their independent functional capabilities and without requiring complex programming by the integrator.

I/O Data

I/O data, sometimes called “implicit messages” or “input/output,” transmit time-critical data such as a Logic Command and Reference. The terms “input” and “output” are defined from the scanner’s point of view. Output is transmitted by the scanner and consumed by the adapter. Input is transmitted by the adapter and consumed by the scanner.

L LONAn acronym for local operating network. Consists of intelligent devices, or nodes, that are connected by one or more communications media and that communicate with one another using a common protocol.

LonMaker SoftwareWindows-based software package for designing, documenting, installing, and maintaining multi-vendor, open, interoperable LonWorks networks.

G-4 Glossary

LonWorks Network

Intelligent devices that communicate with each other using the LonWorks protocol over one or more communications channels.

LonWorks ProtocolThe open control networking protocol designed for applications involving sense, monitor, control, and identification functions. Also known as EIA 709.1 Control Networking Standard and as LonTalk protocol.

Logic Command/Status

The Logic Command is used to control the drive (e.g., start, stop, direction). It consists of one 16-bit word of input to the adapter from the network. The definitions of the bits in this word depend on the drive.

The Logic Status is used to monitor the drive (for example, operating state, motor direction). It consists of one 16-bit word of output from the adapter to the network. The definitions of the bits in this word depend on the drive.

N Network VariableA data item that a particular device application program expects to get from other devices on a network (a network variable input) or expects to make available to other devices on a network (a network variable output). Examples are a temperature, switch value, and actuator position setting.

Neuron Chip

A microprocessor usually contained in each LonWorks node which processes all LonTalk protocol messages, senses inputs, manipulates outputs, implements application-specific functions, and stores installation-specific parameters.

NodeAn intelligent device connected to the network. Nodes are programmed to send messages to one another in response to changes in various conditions, and to take action in response to messages they receive.

Non-Volatile Storage (NVS)The permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the adapter and drive store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are not lost when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called “EEPROM.”

R Reference/FeedbackThe Reference is used to send a reference (for example, speed, frequency, torque) to the product. It consists of one word of input to the adapter from the network. The size of the word (either a 16-bit word or 32-bit word) is determined by the drive.

The Feedback is used to monitor the speed of a product. It consists of one word of output from the adapter to the network. The size of the word (either a 16-bit word or 32-bit word) is determined by the drive.

S SCPT

An acronym for Standard Configuration Property Type. SCPTs are standardized definitions of the units, scaling, encoding, and meaning of the contents of configuration properties.

SNVT

An acronym for Standard Network Variable Type. SNVTs are a set of predefined types of network variables with associated units, such as degrees, centigrade, etc. SNVTs promote interoperability of products from different manufacturers by standardizing the names given to output and input network variables.
