ModbusRTUControl W ML1100 PDF

This document provides instructions for controlling a PowerFlex 523 drive over Modbus RTU using a MicroLogix 1100 PLC. It describes the hardware setup, programming the PLC to send and receive Modbus messages to read and write registers on the drive to monitor its status and control operation. A RSLogix 500 project is provided as an example and instructions are given to configure the Modbus communications and ladder logic for drive control and monitoring.

Software and Firmware Used


The example shown was developed using RSLogix 500 v8.4
Document Purpose
This document is not a manual or training material, but an Application Note, which could be useful
in helping a Rockwell Automation customer with configuring and programming communications via
ModBus to a PowerFlex 523 drive.

Intended Audience
This document is to be used by Rockwell Automation employees and customers supporting and
selling the MicroLogix 1100, PowerFlex 523.

Users are expected to have a thorough understanding and programming experience with RSLogix
500. This document is not intended for beginning programmers, many assumptions of knowledge
and how to program are made within this document.

System Layout

Programming the MicroLogix 1100


Note: The RSLogix 500 v8.4 project can be downloaded from the Rockwell Automation Knowledge
database and used as is or edited to fit your exact application needs.

1. Create a new RSLogix 500 application for a MicroLogix 1100.

2. Configure Channel 0 communications for ModBus as shown below.


IMPORTANT!
The Baud rate and parity of the MicroLogix 1100 must match the Modbus device.

Use of the 1763-CBL-NC01 device on Channel 0 of the MicroLogix 1100 automatically


converts from RS-232 to RS-485.

When making your Protocol Control selection under Control Line,when using the 1761-CBL-
NC01 you must be sure to properly select NO Handshaking (485 Network), otherwise you
may encounter issues such as MSG instructions generating error codes of 37H

3. Enter the following rungs for Program File : LAD 2 - Main_Prog:


Create the following subroutine LAD files

LAD 4 MODBUS
LAD 5 PF4_CNTRL

4. Enter the following ladder logic for LAD 4 MODBUS. This subroutine will perform the
ModBus messaging to and from the PowerFlex drive

5. Configure each of the MSG instructions as shown below. Remember for PowerFlex 523
drives, you must add a value of " 1 " to the ModBus register (MB Data Address) that is listed
in the PowerFlex manual.
MSG Command Word
MSG Speed Reference

MSG Logic Status Word

MSG Output Frequency


MSG Drive Faults
MSG Command Frequency

6. Enter the following ladder logic for LAD 5 PF4_CNTRL. This ladder the manual bits (b3:0/x)
for control the PowerFlex drive
