Micrologix 1100 1400 controls a Powerflex 525 over ethernet

[@ecdinc2759]

Great video! For anyone having issues writing but the PLC is reading the drive status correctly - Open the N11 file, view in binary, and set bits 0 and 2 = 1 of N11:0 (as used in this video for the first MSG command). Do this for each VFD connected in the first MSG (for message timeout read/write) and it may resolve the problem.

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

Did this video help you out?

[@plcprofessor]

Where can I find the PDF that has the instruction on memory locations used with the PF525 and the 1100? I have looked through the usual suspects. Thanks...

[@plcprofessor]

my bad...as soon as I clicked on Reply, I noticed the link in the description of your video...again, my apologies.

[@jimmymendoza8293]

Nice video, thanks a lot!

[@javierhenriquez6043]

Sir... Is it even posible a better explanation than the one you did? You're completely awesome! Thanks for sharing knowledge with people out there! You've saved my back today... Thanks again for all your helpfull content

[@thomascerwick2993]

Excellent Video! Well made. Was able to setup 3- 525 drives for a program that needs to be done in week. Couldn't of got it done without your video. Thanks and keep on making them.

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

Thomas Cerwick I'm trying thank you!

[@disun4152]

Amazing lesson. I am working on a project changing from PF 40 to PF525 with a Micrologix 1400 controller. This is really helping out. Thank you !

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

@@disun4152 awesome, thanks for the feedback. I switched to using Siemens Drives in my Rockwell projects because of the robustness and longevity their drives give me. And as a plus they also communicate on EIP! I haven’t had one fail yet and have been in service since 2015! Just food for thought on your next project that requires VFDs I won’t go back to AB drives. Thanks for you feedback back! It means a lot!

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

[@jedisgarage4775]

I did everything that you showed but if I change B3:0/1 to 1 nothing happens... No acceleration, no frequency shown on the display on the VFD. What could have go wrong?

[@jedisgarage4775]

Just managed to sort it out. I put PLC IP instead of inverter IP... duh... :D

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

Im Glad you were able to get this resolved its crazy I made this video so long ago I even forgot I made it!

[@jedisgarage4775]

@PLCAutomationTraining Examples like this are priceless for beginners like me. Thank you very much, pal!

[@shakersfadi]

That was a great and helpful, I had a problem getting data from Power monitor 1000 to my ML 1400, I watched it yesterday and finished the job today. Thank you so much. AAAAAAAAAAA

[@guangyaoli6218]

Boss. When I met two internet cards in plc with different ip address. Which ip address I should set up in my computer to matching? Thank you very much

Did everything you said worked great but how do I now show amps,voltage

[@atulmishra5285]

Sir which integer value we can show output current and overload.

[@joew4202]

Do you have to use CCW to use the Powerflex with the 1100/RSL500?

[@djmoondragon7219]

Thanks for the video is excellent question can you tell me what version of rslogix 500 are you using to program the powerflex

[@diegof.ramirez1740]

Great video! I really appreciated it... However, I got one question and what happen if I have 2 Drives? All I need to do is change IP adress (of course), controller internal adresses and still using same PowerFlex internal adresses like N42:3, N41:0 and N41:2, right? Thanks for your time and best regards from Colombia.

[@goku7s]

Hey i am using a powerflex vfd 525 to control a motor and i am using micrologix 1400 PLC, i am using a scale block to scale the value which i am getting form the VFD so at zero speed i should be getting the input as zero which i am not getting instead i am getting a value of 12000. can you help me with this problem?

[@gregdake7356]

Is it best practice to trigger message instructions in Logix500 such as you are? I am not being critical, I am wondering as I've had many debates over the years on the proper way to trigger multiple messages.

[@jeremymiller9165]

I just go with what works I have found there are better ways to save processor scan times but in these tutorials I'm not worried about the scan time but your right. I'll bring that up later about scan times.

[@Carlosab04]

Do you know if you can control a 525 with a panelview plus compact 600. Its the same ethernet configuration?, could you do a video?

[@aang9112]

hey! one question. How do you connect the 1100 over the ethernet and the pf 525 in the same loop, i have a 1100 with only one port ethernet,and in your loop in rslinx appears the plc and the pf525, cheers!

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

use your home router.

[@SirHayk]

Thanks a lot for the video. I have question: we're testing our own hardware with Compact Logix PLC . it ( Compact Logix ) sends message using MSG . Our hardware works OK . I need to test it with Mirco 1400, but dont have it . Is it possible to say for sure, that if it (our hardware ) works OK when COMPACT Logix send MSG , then it will will ok if Micro 1400 sends MSG? What i'm trying to ask if output frame (or package) is same for Compact and Micro 1400 when they use MSG insruction? Thanks

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

Hayk Azizbekyan yes it should work just fine, though you are using two different software's rslogix 500 and rslogix 5000

[@SirHayk]

Thanks a lot of your response . I have question, would really appreciate you can help. , I can't figure out what to to enter in RXI file. below is the link. It says Extended Routing information File. What I have to enter in that file.? Compact Logix doesn't' ask that information. And last question: is there anything i have to enter in Send Data / Recieve Data tabs ? Thanks again for your video and response drive.google.com/file/d/0B3mee-O6OwfBTGs2bGZyZkJRdk0/view?usp=sharing

sorry for the delay i have not used this one before you must have RS500 pro I was using rs500 standard so i didnt have the extra tags. I will have to check on this one

Where can you find all the N files to read and write to other parameters for the powerflex 525.

[@MICOLOGIX]

somebody can help me, i'm trying to communicate with a powerflex 40 using 22 Comm-e, the manual say that are the same files to flex 40 but for some reason not works

[@pipoy8]

i follow exactly the same in the video but i cannot able to trigger the pf 525, im using the 1400.

[@martycholewa883]

Can you give the EXACT Reference manual number where you found the Integer file numbers to send the Drive commands to the drive?

There is a link in the description that takes you to the pdf

[@richardsibanda1]

Hit me up if you still in the woods managed to tweak this to use an slc5/05 and it worked like a charm

[@TheLRBrown]

How would I signal the PLC if I have an Ethernet COMM loss....if my Ethernet cable is unplugged, the drive will fault but the PLC will not know it because all of my communication is through the Ethernet cable. Is there something that changes state in the PLC if it fails to communicate?

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

[@thiefgold0913]

I have a ML1100 and powerflex 40 drive and the 22com e card communicating with each other, I copied what you illustrated in rslogix 500 program but my project isn't working as illustrated.

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

that's because it's a pf40 and in the video we are using a pf 525. you will have to refer to the manual for the correction message settings.

[@thiefgold0913]

I did read in the manual and the settings should be the same as you illustrated when setting up the msg instruction . 42:3, 41:0, and 41:2.

Nicholas Lloyd b003 [Output Current], value is in N12:1, divide by 100 to get the correct value

[@22stupididiot]

Cheers, I also found you can do it through CIP Generic where in MSG you use: This controller Channel: 1 (Integral) Communication Command: CIP Generic Data Table Address (Receive): N#:# Size in Bytes (Receive): 2 Target Device Extended Routing Infor File (RIX): RIX#:# Service: Generic Get Attribute Single Class (hex): 93 (for DPI Parameter List) Instance (dec): 3 (for Motor Current) Attribute (hex): 9
