Connect Vacon 100 VSD to ControlLogix through Ethernet/IP

[jokerb]

I am Using a Vacon 100 VSD and I want my controllogix plc to talk to it through Ethernet/IP.

I know the PLC and the VSD are now talking because I keep getting a Invalid Segment type error.

I believe my problem is in the configurations but the ethernet/ip manual for the drive is very limited and Allen Bradley support team told me I need to get more data from Vacon.....

Has anyone here tried to connect a controllogix to a vacon drive before??

have you looked into Modbus via e/net
look at kepware Kepserver V 4.6
Not sure off hand but might be the answer.

Where in Aus are you

In South Australia,

I figured it out. The config in Rslogix 5000 was incorrect

I inputed the correct instances and size bits but the config was suppose to be 103 with bit size 0.


Cheers
