1 Introduction
This user manual for the DeviceNet (DFD11A) option describes how to install the DFD11A
DeviceNet option card in the drive inverter and how to start up the MOVIDRIVE®
on the DeviceNet
fieldbus system.
As well as explaining all settings on the fieldbus interface, this document also deals with the vari-
ous DeviceNet connection variants in the form of brief startup examples.
As well as this manual on the DeviceNet option, you should request the following publications deal-
ing with the topic of fieldbuses in more detail, so as to permit MOVIDRIVE®
to be connected to the
DeviceNet fieldbus system in a straightforward and effective fashion:
• “MOVIDRIVE®
Fieldbus Unit Profile” manual
• “MOVIDRIVE®
” system manual
The manual for the MOVIDRIVE®
fieldbus unit profile describes the fieldbus parameters and their
coding, as well as explaining the whole range of various control concepts and application options
in the form of brief examples.
The “MOVIDRIVE®
” system manual contains a listing of all parameters of the drive inverter which
can be read and/or written via the various communications interfaces such as RS-485 and also via
the fieldbus interface.
The MOVIDRIVE®
drive inverter in conjunction with the DFD11A option enables you to make the
connection to master automation systems via DeviceNet, thanks to the high-performance, univer-
sal fieldbus interface of the DFD11A option.
MOVIDRIVE®
and DeviceNet
The device behavior of the inverter which forms the basis of DeviceNet operation is referred to as
the device profile. It is independent of any particular fieldbus and is therefore a uniform feature.
This provides you, the user, with the opportunity of developing applications irrespective of the
fieldbus. As a result, it is very easy to change over to other bus systems such as INTERBUS
(DFI11A option), PROFIBUS (DFP11A option) or CAN bus (DFC11A).
MOVIDRIVE®
offers you direct access to all drive parameters and functions via the DeviceNet inter-
face. The drive inverter is controlled via the high-speed, cyclical process data. Via this process data
channel, you can enter setpoints such as the setpoint speed, ramp generator time for acceleration/
deceleration, etc. as well as triggering various drive functions such as enable, control inhibit, nor-
mal stop, rapid stop, etc. However, at the same time you can also use this channel to read back
actual values from the drive inverter, such as the actual speed, current, device status, fault number
and also reference signals.
The parameters of the inverter are set exclusively by using Explicit Messages, whereas the process
data exchange is replicated on the DeviceNet services of Polled I/O or Bit-Strobe I/O. This parame-
ter data exchange enables you to implement applications in which all the important drive parame-
ters are stored in the master programmable controller, so that there is no need for manual
parameter settings on the drive inverter itself.
