Introduction

vacon 3

1. INTRODUCTION
Vacon NX frequency converters can be connected to Ethernet using an Ethernet fieldbus board
OPTCP.
The OPTCP can be installed in board slots D or E.
Every appliance connected to an Ethernet network has two identifiers; a MAC address and an IP address. The MAC address (Address format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ) is unique to the appliance and cannot be
changed. The Ethernet board's MAC address can be found on the sticker attached to the board or by
using the Vacon IP tool software NCIPConfig. You can find the software installation at
www.vacon.com
In a local network, IP addresses can be defined by the user as long as all units connected to the network are given the same network portion of the address. For more information about IP addresses,
contact your Network Administrator. Overlapping IP addresses cause conflicts between appliances.
For more information about setting IP addresses, see Section 3, Installation.

WARNING!

Internal components and circuit boards are at high potential when the frequency
converter is connected to the power source. This voltage is extremely dangerous
and may cause death or severe injury if you come into contact with it.

NOTE! You can download the English and French product manuals with applicable safety,
warning and caution information from www.vacon.com/downloads.
REMARQUE Vous pouvez tlcharger les versions anglaise et franaise des manuels produit
contenant lensemble des informations de scurit, avertissements et mises en garde
applicables sur le site www.vacon.com/downloads.

2.4. Connections and wiring

The Ethernet board supports 10/100Mb speeds in both Full- and Half-duplex modes. However, using
Profinet requires the Full-duplex mode and the 100-megabit speed. The boards must be connected
to the Ethernet network with a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) CAT-5e cable. Use a so-called crossover
cable if you want to connect the Ethernet option board directly to the master device.
Use only industrial standard components in the network and avoid complex structures to minimize
the length of response time and the amount of incorrect dispatches.
More information on Ethernet can be found at www.odva.org.

3.2. NCDrive
NCDrive software can be used with the Ethernet board in NXS and NXP drives.
NOTE! Does not work with NXL
NCDrive software is recommended to be used in LAN (Local Area Network) only.
NOTE! If OPTCI Ethernet Option board is used for NC Tools connection, like NCDrive, the OPTD3
board can not be used.
NOTE! NCLoad does not work via Ethernet. See NCDrive help for further information
3.3. IP Tool NCIPConfig
To begin using the Vacon Ethernet board, you need to set an IP address. The factory default IP address is 192.168.0.10. Before connecting the board to the network, its IP addresses must be set according to the network. For more information about IP addresses, contact your network administrator.
You need a PC with an Ethernet connection and the NCIPConfig tool installed to set the Ethernet
board's IP addresses. To install the NCIPConfig tool, start the installation program from CD or
download it from www.vacon.com website. After starting the installation program, follow the onscreen instructions.
Once the program is installed successfully, you can launch it by selecting it in the Windows Start
menu. Follow these instructions to set the IP addresses. Select Help --> Manual if you want more
information about the software features.
Step 1. Connect your PC to the Ethernet network with an Ethernet cable. You can also connect
the PC directly to the device using a crossover cable. This option may be needed if your PC does not
support Automatic crossover function.
Step 2. Scan network nodes. Select Configuration --> Scan and wait until the devices connected to
the bus in the tree structure are displayed to the left of the screen.
NOTE!
Some switches block broadcast messages. In this case, each network node must be scanned separately.

Step 3. Set names. Select the cell in column Node and enter the name of the node.
Step 4. Set IP addresses. Change the nodes IP settings according to the network IP settings. The
program will report conflicts with a red color in a table cell.

Step 5. Send configuration to boards. In the table view, check the boxes for boards whose configuration you want to send and select Configuration, then Configure. Your changes are sent to the network and will be valid immediately.
NOTE! Only A-Z, a-z and 0-9 symbols can be used in the drive name, no special characters, or
Scandinavian letters (, , etc.)! The drive name can be freely formed using the allowed characters.

3.3.1.

Update OPTCP Option Board program with the NCIPConfig Tool

In some cases it may be necessary to update the option board's firmware. Differing from other Vacon
option boards, the Ethernet option board's firmware is updated with the NCIPConfig tool.
To start the firmware update, scan the nodes in the network according to the instructions in section
3.2. Once you can see all nodes in the view, you can update the new firmware by clicking the VCN
packet field in NCIPCONFIG 's table view on the right.
NOTE! The PCs IP address must be chosen in the same IP address space as the Ethernet boards.

Installation

After clicking the VCN packet field, a file open window where you can choose a new firmware packet
is displayed.

Select the desired packet and click Open.

NOTE!
Do not do a power up cycle after downloading the option board software or installing a new option
board to the drive within 1 minute. This may cause the option board to go to Safe Mode. This situation can only be solved by re-downloading the software. The Safe Mode triggers a fault code (F54).
The Board slot error F54 may also appear due to a faulty board, a temporary malfunction of the
board or disturbance in the environment.

State Machine

The state machine describes the device status and the possible control sequence of the frequency
converter. The state transitions can be generated by using the Control word. The Status word
indicates the current status of the state machine. The modes INIT, STOP, RUN and FAULT correspond to the actual mode of the Frequency converter.
NOTE! Always set CW bit0 to 0 after fault reset before proceeding!

The PROFIDRIVE profile has been jointly defined by drive manufacturers. The profile specifies aspects of drive parameterization and how the setpoints and actual values should be transmitted. This
makes drives in a fieldbus vendor-independent and possible to be replaced by a drive from a different vendor. The profile contains specifications needed for speed control and positioning and it specifies the basic drive functions while leaving sufficient freedom for application-specific expansions and
further developments.

words are different the STW1 has to be written to Drive Interface through state machine. Some of
the STW1 bits go straight to Drive Interface.

NSOLL_A

NSOLL_A is the reference to the drive. It is used normally as Speed reference. Reference is a 16-bit
word containing a sign bit and a 15-bit integer. A negative reference (indicating reversed direction of
rotation) is formed by calculating the twos complement from the corresponding positive reference.
The allowed scaling is 10000...10000. In the drive application, the value is scaled in percentage of
the frequency area between set minimum and maximum frequency.
-10000 = 100,00 %
0 = 0, 00 %
10000 = 100,00 %

NIST_A

NIST_A is the actual value from the frequency converter. It contains values between -10000...10000.
In the application, the value is scaled in percentage of frequency area between set minimum and
maximum frequency.
-10000 = 100,00 %
0 = 0, 00 %
10000 = 100,00 %

State Machine

The state machine describes the device status and the possible control sequence of the frequency
converter. The state transitions can be generated by using the Control word. The Status word
indicates the current status of the state machine. The modes INIT, STOP, RUN and FAULT correspond to the actual mode of the Frequency converter
