PowerFlex 700S & 20-COMM-P Adapter using Siemens S7-315 DP PLC

March 30, 2006

Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide set-up and programming details of the PowerFlex 700S drive and the 20-COMM-P Profibus-DP interface using the Siemens S7-315 DP platform. All the operation detailed below assumes the user is familiar with the programming of Siemens PLCs with Step7 software.

PowerFlex700S Siemens S7-300

20-COMM-P

fitted internally

Node 5

The PowerFlex 700S drive uses 16 bit logic control/status words, and 32 bit reference, feedback and datalinks.

Drive Control Overview On PROFIBUS, I/O messaging is used to transfer the data which controls the PowerFlex drive and sets its Reference. I/O can also be used to transfer data to and from Datalinks in PowerFlex drives. The Logic Command word from the PLC contains 2 bytes of data, whereby each bit has a control significance. See User Manual 20-COMM-P Appendix C. So we can start / stop the drive by changing the relevant bits in the Logic Command word. The drive reference is a 32 bit real value scaled according to the [Motor NP RPM] parameter of the drive. A 20-COMM-P drive adapter supports up to 4 datalinks, which can be initialized by a parameter in the adapter. Each datalink passes 2 parameters to the drive AND 2 parameters from the drive. Unlike all the other PowerFlex 7 class drives, the datalinks passes data direct to/from the DPI Data In/Out parameters in the drive. This raw data can then be linked to different parameters in the drive. Profibus-DP DPI

.Initial Set-up

Set switches on the Master 20-COMM-P to a Node Address of 05. This setup assumes that the PowerFlex 700S and the 20-COMM-P interface are at their default settings. Note: The Parameter Access Level on each drive needs to be set to Advanced in order to access some of the parameters used in this application note. To do so, perform the following steps: 1. Select Parameter, then [Enter] 2. Select Utility, then [Enter] 3. Select Drive Memory, then [Enter] 4. Select Param Access Lvl, then [Enter] 5. Press the [Sel], select Advanced and press [Enter] Connect Profibus DP cable plug, and screw plug fasteners home to ensure earth continuity. Note that as this is the only drive being used, the plug terminators are switched on at the drive and the PLC. In this application note the drive is setup with the following drive parameters 27 3 4 Speed Ref A sel Motor NP Hz Motor NP RPM DPI Port 5 50.0 Hz 1400 Select the source of the speed ref to the 20COMM-P Scales the drive to 50Hz Scales the drive to 1400 rpm

Setup the following 20-COMM-P parameter. 11 DPI I/O Config Cycle power to the drive. xxxx xxxx xxx0 0011 Enabling Datalink A

Control the Drive Power up the drive and PLC, and startup the Step7 programming software. Install the GSD file A_B_0572.GSD into the hardware catalogue. Drag the 20-COMM-P from the hardware catalog, onto the Profibus DP master system.

Configure the 20-COMM-P adapter as Node 5, and as the Control, status are 16bit, and the Ref, and feedback are 32 bit, we configure as 2+4 bytes for the input and output addresses 60 to 65. As the datalinks are 32 bit, we will use the 2+4 bytes, and so the adapter is configured 66-73 for DataLink A.

FC1 contains the run logic, and the reference ramp generator to control the speed of the drive. The screens below are shown in monitor mode (solid line means logic = true). The logic shows the drive running in the forward direction. See User Manual Appendix C for the significance of the logic command and status bits.
