I have a customer who wants to control his DCS800 drives via Ethernet, so I have bought two RETA-01 cards. At the moment they are connected via Devicenet. Using my test DCS800 drive and L62 controller I can control the drive but I can only seem to get a limited amount of information from it using the input assembly 103 and output assembly 102 which gives 3 in and 2 out respectively. This is the only assembly I can get to work. I can use explicit messaging to pull more data from the drive but I'm not sure this is the best way.
The manual says: The additional desired data words have to be configured via the fieldbus network using Vendor Specific Drive I/O Object (Class 91h). The adapter will automatically save the configuration
But I have no idea what this means. Anybody done anything similar?
I need 9 words from the drive, the standard 2 to the drive are enough
