Content of the
manual
This user manual describes how to install the DFE13B option card in the MOVIDRIVE®
MDX61B drive inverter and how to start up MOVIDRIVE®with the EtherNet/IP fieldbus
system.
Additional
documentation
In addition to this manual you should request the following publication on fieldbus
technology for information on how to connect MOVIDRIVE®simply and effectively to the
Ethernet fieldbus system:
•"MOVIDRIVE
®Fieldbus Unit Profile" manual
The "MOVIDRIVE®Fieldbus Unit Profile" manual describes the fieldbus parameters and
their coding and explains the whole range of control concepts and application options in
the form of brief examples.
The "MOVIDRIVE®Fieldbus Unit Profile" manual contains a list of all parameters of the
drive inverter that can be read or written via the various communication interfaces, such
as system bus, RS-485 or the fieldbus interface.
Characteristics
The MOVIDRIVE®MDX61B drive inverter enables you to use the DFE13B option to
connect to higher-level automation, project planning, and visualization systems via
Ethernet because of its powerful, universal fieldbus interface.
MOVIDRIVE®and
Ethernet
The unit behavior of the inverter that forms the basis of Ethernet operation is referred to
as the unit profile. It is independent of any particular fieldbus and is therefore a uniform
feature. This feature allows the user to develop fieldbus-independent drive applications
and makes it much easier to change to other bus systems, such as DeviceNet (option
DFD).
Access to all
information
MOVIDRIVE®MDX61B offers digital access to all drive parameters and functions via
the Ethernet interface. The drive inverter is controlled via fast, cyclic process data. You
can use this process data channel to enter setpoints, such as the setpoint speed, ramp
generator time for acceleration/deceleration, etc., and to trigger various drive functions
such as enable, controller inhibit, normal stop, rapid stop, etc. However, at the same
time you can also use this process data channel to read back actual values from the
drive inverter, such as the actual speed, current, unit status, fault numbers, or reference
signals.
Configuring the
Ethernet option
card
By setting the IP address parameters over the DHCP server, you can quickly integrate
a drive inverter into the Ethernet environment and activate it. The remaining parameter
setting process can then be performed in a fully automated process by the higher-level
master (parameter download). This forward-looking variant shortens the system startup
time and simplifies the documentation of your application program because you can
store all the important drive parameters in your control program.
