Setting a Fault Action

By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected) or the scanner is idle, the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the network. You can congure a different response to communication disruptions using Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt Action]. ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the drive. You can set the parameter so that the drive continues to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does not create a risk of injury or equipment damage.

3-6

Conguring the Adapter

To change the fault action

Set the values of Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action] to the desired responses:
Value 0 1 2 3 4 Action Fault (default) Stop Zero Data Hold Last Send Flt Cfg Description The drive is faulted and stopped. (Default) The drive is stopped, but not faulted. The drive is sent 0 for output data after a communications disruption. This does not command a stop. The drive continues in its present state after a communications disruption. The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault conguration parameters (Parameters 14 - [Flt Cfg Logic] through 23 - [Flt Cfg D2 In]).

Changes to this parameter takes effect immediately. A reset is not required.

To set the fault conguration parameters

If you set Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt Action] to the 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.
Parameter 14 15 16 23 Name Flt Cfg Logic Flt Cfg Ref Flt Cfg x1 In or Flt Cfg x2 In Description A 16-bit value sent to the drive for Logic Command. A 32-bit value (0 4294967295) sent to the drive as a Reference or Datalink. Important: If the drive uses a 16-bit Reference or 16-bit Datalinks, the most signicant word of the value must be set to zero (0) or a fault will occur.

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

Resetting the Adapter

Changes to switch settings on 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 the Parameter 09 - [Reset Module] to Reset Module:

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting a connected adapter.
Figure 3.6 Reset Screen on an LCD HIM Port 5 Device 20-COMM-S Parameter #: 9 Reset Module 1 Reset Module Value 0 1 2 Description Ready (Default) Reset Module Set Defaults

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. A reset is still required for some parameter changes to take effect. The value of this parameter will be restored to 0 = Ready after the adapter is reset.

Glossary
A
Adapter Devices such as drives, controllers, and computers usually require an adapter to provide a communication interface between them and a network such as RS-485 DF1. An adapter reads data on the network and transmits it to the connected device. It also reads data in the device and transmits it to the network. The 20-COMM-S adapter is an adapter that connects, PowerFlex drives to a RS-485 DF1 network. Adapters are sometimes also called cards, embedded communication options, gateways, modules, and peripherals.

Block Check Character (BCC) A technique for error detection in data communications. A character is added to a transmission block, which is compared with a second BCC computed by the receiver to determine if the transmission is error free. Controller A controller, also called programmable logic controller, is a solid-state control system that has a user-programmable memory for storage of instructions to implement specic functions such as I/O control, logic, timing, counting, report generation, communication, arithmetic, and data le manipulation. A controller consists of a central processor, input/ output interface, and memory. See also Scanner. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) A commonly used technique for error detection in data communications. A polynomial algorith is performed on the data, and the resultant checksum is appended at the end of the frame. The receiving device performs a similar algorithm.

Data Rate The data rate is the speed at which data is transferred on the RS-485 DF1 network. Each device on a RS-485 DF1 network must be set for the same data rate. You can set the RS-485 DF1 adapter to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2K, or 38.4 kbps.

Glossary-2 Datalinks A Datalink is a type of pointer used by some PowerFlex drives to transfer data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow specied parameter value(s) to be accessed or changed without using explicit messages. When enabled, each Datalink consumes either four bytes or eight bytes in both the input and output image table of the controller. The drive determines the size of Datalinks. DF1 An Allen-Bradley datalink layer protocol that combines features of subcategories D1 (data transparency) and F1 (2-way simultaneous transmission with embedded responses) of ANSI x3.28 specication. DPI DPI is a second generation peripheral communication interface used by various Allen-Bradley drives and power products. It is a functional enhancement to SCANport. DPI Peripheral A device that provides an interface between DPI and a network or user. Peripheral devices are also referred to as adapters and modules. The serial converter and PowerFlex HIM are examples of DPI peripherals. DPI Product A device that uses the DPI communications interface to communicate with one or more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive such as a PowerFlex drive is a DPI product. In this manual, a DPI product is also referred to as product or Host. DriveExplorer Software DriveExplorer software is a tool for monitoring and conguring Allen-Bradley products and adapters. It can be run on computers running Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT (version 4.0 or higher), Windows CE (version 2.0 or higher), Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems. DriveExplorer (version 2.02 or higher) can be used to congure this adapter and PowerFlex drives.

Fault Action A fault action determines how the adapter and connected product act when a communications fault (for example, a cable is disconnected) occurs or when the scanner is switched out of run mode. The former uses a communications fault action, and the latter uses an idle fault action. Fault Conguration When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the adapter and PowerFlex drive can respond with a user-dened fault conguration. The user sets the data that is sent to the drive in the fault conguration parameters (Parameters 14 - [Flt Cfg Logic] through 23 - [Flt Cfg D2]). When a fault action parameter is set to use the fault conguration and a fault occurs, the data from these parameters is sent as the Command Logic, Reference, and/or Datalink(s). Flash Update The process of updating rmware in the adapter. The adapter can be ash updated using the Xmodem protocol and a 1203-SSS Serial Converter (version 3.001 or higher).

HIM (Human Interface Module) A device that can be used to congure and control a PowerFlex drive. New HIMs (20-HIM-x) can be used to congure connected peripherals.

Glossary-4 Hold Last When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the adapter and PowerFlex drive can respond by holding last. Hold last results in the drive receiving the last data received via the RS-485 DF1 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.

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 dened from the scanners 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. Logic Command/Logic Status The Logic Command is used to control the PowerFlex drive (e.g., start, stop, direction). It consists of one 16-bit word of input to the adapter from the network. The denitions of the bits in this word depend on the drive. The Logic Status is used to monitor the PowerFlex drive (for example, operating state, motor direction). It consists of one 16-bit word of output from the adapter to the network. The denitions of the bits in this word depend on the drive.

Node Address A RS-485 DF1 network can have as many as 255 devices connected to it. Each device on the network must have a unique node address from 0 and 254. Non-Volatile Storage (NVS) NVS is 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.

Programmable Controller Communications Command (PCCC) PCCC is the protocol used by some controllers to communicate with devices on a network. Some software products (i.e., DriveExplorer and DriveTools 2000), also use PCCC to communicate.

Glossary-5 Ping A ping is a message that is sent by a DPI product to its peripheral devices. They use the ping to gather data about the product, including whether it can receive messages and whether they can log in for control. PowerFlex 7-Class Drives The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7-Class family of drives include the PowerFlex 70 and PowerFlex 700. These drives can be used for applications ranging from 0.37 kW (0.5 HP) to 3,000 kW (4,000 HP). All PowerFlex 7-Class drives implement DPI, allowing them to use the 20-COMM-S RS-485 DF1 adapter. Programmable Controller A solid-state control system that has a user-programmable memory for storage of instructions to implement specic functions such as I/O control, logic, timing, counting, report generation, communication, arithmetic, and data le manipulation. A controller consists of central processor, input/output interface, and memory. A controller is designed as an industrial control system.

Reference/Feedback The 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. 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.

Scanner A scanner is a separate module (of a multi-module controller) or a built-in component (of a single-module controller) that provides communication with adapters connected to a network. See also Controller. Status Indicators Status indicators are LEDs that are used to report the status of the adapter, network, and drive. They are on the adapter and can be viewed on the front cover of the drive when the drive is powered.

Glossary-6

Type 0/Type 1/Type 2 Control When transmitting I/O, the adapter can use different types of messages for control. The Type 0, Type 1, Type 2 control events help Allen-Bradley personnel identify the type of messages that an adapter is using. Transaction Number (TNS) A 2-byte eld in a DF1 message packet that is used in combination with the SRC (source node of the message) and CMD (command code) bytes to uniquely identify every message packet. The TNS is typically incremented each time a new DF1 message is sent. The reply message will contain the same TNS value.

Zero Data When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the adapter and drive can respond with zero data. Zero data results in the drive receiving zero as values for command data. If the drive was running and using the Reference from the adapter, it will stay running, but at zero Reference.
