=============================
Welcome to lesson 3 of “How to control a VFD with a PLC”.
We have created this series of lessons discussing the steps to configure and program communication between a Rockwell ControlLogix PLC and a Siemens VFD.
As a prerequisite, please watch lessons 1 and lesson 2. Here are the links to these lessons:
Part 1: realpars.com/c...
Part 2: realpars.com/h...
In Part 1, we have addressed how to configure the communication between ControlLogix 5000 PLC and HMS Anybus gateway using ControlNet network media with CIP protocol. (realpars.com/c...)
In Part 2, we discussed how the HMS gateway was set up as a PROFIBUS Master to communicate and control the slave Robicon VFD using PROFIBUS protocol. The gateway is a device for converting or translating ControlNet CIP protocol to Siemens PROFIBUS protocol.
(realpars.com/h...)
The scope of our work in this part, part 3, is primarily provided into setting up the Siemens VFD to complete the communication path between the gateway and the Rockwell ControlLogix processor.
Perhaps for the average learner, the overall communication configuration process to accomplish this may be somewhat complex to understand without all of the details for each of the three-interconnecting, the processor, gateway and VFD, equipment used.
However, our lessons have been created with this in mind, to help simplify the overall configuration by providing only the necessary steps for communication and assumes the learner has some knowledge of the process equipment used in these videos.
If you would like RealPars to provide more details on any of Rockwell processors, HMS gateway and Siemens Robicon VFD, please let us know in the comment section or contact us directly.
Overall, the ControlLogix PAC will be controlling a pump with a simple ON/OFF command and velocity by setting a speed setpoint to the VFD.
In response, the Siemens VFD will return the actual speed reference and VFD status information controlling the pump. This exchange of control data and status information is all performed by the HMS gateway.
We will begin our Robicon VFD configuration by connecting a Laptop Ethernet port using a non-crossover Ethernet cable to Ethernet port on the VFD. Ping the IP address of the Robicon to ensure we are connected.
Next, I will start the Siemens SINAMICS STARTER program and I will complete the first part of the VFD configuration. (sie.ag/2YInjVB)
In the next lesson, Part 4 and the final part of this video series, we will continue with the VFD configuration and jump into configuring the type of motor and its nameplate data.
This concludes this part of the video lesson, ControlLogix PLC and Siemens VFD Communication Part 3.
So the remaining VFD configuration will be offered in Part 4 of this video series.

[@robbymashegorobby9310]

we are really getting skilled with your knowledge. once again thank you

[@realpars]

Great compliment, Robby! Thanks for sharing!

[@EhabAwni]

really helpful and direct to the point tutorials.

[@realpars]

Great to hear that, Ehab! Happy learning!

[@mohamedabdulla6483]

Thank you... Always waiting for your upcoming videos. Especially VFD part 4

[@realpars]

Great to hear your enthusiasm! Keep up the learning curve, Mohamed!

[@shivanandyadav9630]

Sir, We wants more video on VFD and HMS. I realized that this part is somewhere tough. I want to know about the programming and software part. And also how to programm this.

[@realpars]

Hi Shivanand! Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers! Thanks for sharing and happy learning!

[@husamshalash8789]

thank for your efforts. i would like to see more about SINAMIC drive systems

[@realpars]

Hi Husam! Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers! Thanks for sharing and happy learning!

[@ahmadshafique8453]

Thanks sir

[@stephenmcdonagh6303]

Love these videos. Could you do a video on just wiring/programming an Allen Bradley PLC to power flex 525 without gateway? I intend on building a rig with these very soon.

[@realpars]

Hi Stephen! Thanks for your comment and your topic suggestion. I will happily pass this on to our course developers! Thanks for sharing and happy learning!

[@filimniko]

Very good material!

[@realpars]

Thanks a lot!

[@jeyhop]

great video keep up the good work, i hope u makes us a video about io link devices and specially siemens io link devices and how to configure'em.

[@realpars]

Hi Khadir, Thanks for your comment! Great suggestion, I will go ahead and forward this to our creator team. Thanks for sharing! Happy learning, please let us know if you have any questions along the way.

[@alinammneh9910]

Great videos.... thank you 😊

[@realpars]

Happy to hear that, Ali! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback!

[@farhanali-le2sk]

Thankx for sharing this

[@realpars]

You are very welcome, Farhan! Happy learning.

[@aadreshmateen3774]

when is final part 4 is going released ? very informative and helpful, thank you.

[@realpars]

Hi Aadreshh, Thanks for your comment and great to hear your anticipation! There is not a specific date set for this course video to go live, yet. Hopefully, in the upcoming weeks. Happy learning!

[@GRant16NCH]

thanks!

[@realpars]

You are very welcome!

[@mohammedalhaidery957]

Thank you for this vedio

[@realpars]

You are very welcome, Mohammed!

[@liawjinfun]

I want to learn more about Siemens 6RA70 & 6RA80 DC DRIVES.

[@realpars]

The drives you indicate are variable speed DC drives. This is a topic RealPars has not yet covered, but I will make sure to pass along your suggestion the course developers. Thank you for your comment and suggestion! In the meantime, Siemens has a number of documents and resources for these drives: mall.industry.siemens.com/mall/en/WW/Catalog/Products/8150001

[@derina.maleek9408]

Thank you

[@realpars]

You are very welcome, Derin!

[@NFT2024]

thank you for this vidio

[@realpars]

You are very welcome, Bos!

[@techclub3953]

Hi... Do you have any video regarding access control

[@realpars]

Not yet, but thank you for the suggestion. Access control is a very interesting branch of automation that is part of a plant's security control strategy, which includes fire detection, intrusion detection, access control and cybersecurity.

[@techclub3953]

@@realpars please try to upload those. Thank you

[@mahmoodqasim6236]

It is More important to create a specific detailed Course on siemens VFDs (Basics to advanced training from wiring to IOP Commissioning to TIA PORTAL COMMISSIONING Through Controlling methods and there applications such as water treatment Plants, or oil refinery) with all complex details like explaining status words, Parameterizing ...etc. There is a lack in this especially in MICROMASTER and SINAMCS DRIVES. We Will buy the Online Course even in 100$ or More.

[@realpars]

Hi Mahmood! Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers! Thanks for sharing and happy learning!

[@pandekage1233]

More video about siemens VFD and sinamics , could be nice :)

[@realpars]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Aaaarrghhh]

Hello, what software do you use to make the drawings?

[@realpars]

Hi Edgar, Thanks for your comment! I am not a 100% sure about this as this is done by our graphic and animation department. Happy to hear that you like the graphics!

[@Aaaarrghhh]

@@realpars Thank you for respond me. I really like it because i'm a SCADA developer and i'll like to use your graphics like references in my projects. It would look modern design.

[@adilkiani8686]

Sir your very nice

[@hossamabdelrazeq3857]

Part4?

[@realpars]

Hi Hossam, You can watch part 4 through this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXOXeaOnjJmppLM. Happy learning!
