Hello all.
Working on a centrifuge for a customer. They have ACS880 ABB Vfd's installed, and need them to talk VIA the FENA card Ethernet to the Micrologix 1400 PLC.
ABB's website has an example program that I started with and am successful in using their example with assemblies: 21(write), 71(read).
https://search.abb.com/library/Down...anguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=1&Action=Launch Pages 197-198
After starting up the equipment, turns out the torque and amps were originally being used in the program via RIO with AB Powerflex VFD's.
So I attempted to use the 123(write) and 173(read) assemblies which have extended information in 25 bytes to/from the VFD. (Pages 205-207 FENA manual).
The extended profile doesn't communicate, and the vfd gives comms. faults. I increased the number of bytes in the MSG instruction to 25 (Size in Bytes recieve box), but still no luck.
The VFD parameter group 50 , 51, 52, I have the ABB ACDC profile enabled, not sure if there is another parameter in the VFD that needs to match the extended profile.
Any advice to get this to communicate?
