3. Setup for the communication option cards

3. 5. 3. Configuring the drive in "ATV58(F) Interchangeability" mode

The Profibus protocol operates according to the principle of exchanging periodic data.

In order to use the output data and input data from Altivar 58 cyclic exchanges, rather than those from Altivar 71, you need to set switch 1

to the ON position and restart the drive. This also enables the card to identify itself as an Altivar 58(F) (Ident_Number= 0x00B9) when the

bus module is turned on.

Configuring the drive control mode

Check and configure the control mode applied to the drive in the [1.6 – COMMAND] (Ct L-) menu on the graphic display terminal,

the integrated display terminal or the PowerSuite software workshop.

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

3. 5. 4. PLC configuration and application

In "ATV58(F) Interchangeability" mode, the Altivar 71’s PKE, R/W and R/W/N parameters are adapted in order to make the PKW service

compatible with the Altivar 58’s parameters. There is, therefore, no need to change the application GSD file.

3. 5. 5. Communication fault

Profibus communication faults are indicated by the red RD LED on the card.

The

[Network fault] (CnF-) parameter can be used to obtain more detailed information about the origin of the fault. It can only be

accessed on the graphic display terminal, in the

[1.10 DIAGNOSTICS] (dGt-) menu, [MORE FAULT INFO] (AFI-).

• Switch 0 (OFF) : Altivar 71 mode

• Switch 1 (ON) : Altivar 58(F) Interchangeability mode

Value Description of the values of the [Network fault] (CnF-) parameter

0 No fault

1 Time out for receipt of periodic variables destined for the drive. This time out can be set by the network configuration software.

2 Identification fault between the drive Profibus card and the Profibus master

3 Initialization fault on the drive Profibus card (hardware problem)
