3. Setup for the communication option cards

3. 3. 3. Configuring polarity on the drive RS 485 bus

The card is equipped with 2 line polarity configuration switches but the orientation is not the same for the Altivar 58 and the Altivar 71.

Configure the polarity according to the following method.

Configuring the drive control mode

Check and configure as necessary the control mode applied to the drive in the [1.6 – COMMAND] (CtL-) menu on the graphic display

terminal, the integrated display terminal or the PowerSuite software workshop.

[Profile] (CHCF) = [8 serie] (SE8)

3. 3. 4. PLC configuration and application

The fact of opening the Altivar 71’s "ATV58(F) compatibility" memory zone (SE8 mode) performed by the PowerSuite software workshop

means that no changes need to be made in the PLC application.

However, in response to a function 43 identification request (16#2B) the drive will identify itself as an Altivar 71, not an Altivar 58(F).

3. 4. Communication via CANopen network

3. 4. 1. Reminder of possible connection methods

The ATV71 CANopen adapter must be used when connecting the Altivar 71 to a CANopen network.

3. 4. 2. Matching the line termination resistor

The VW3 CAN KCDF 180T connector for connecting to the CANopen bus incorporates a line termination resistor. You should ensure this

has been activated when the drive is at the end of the trunk cable.
