Hi Group.
We recently added a 20 COM E Module to our powerflex 700 and assigned IP parameters to it. It can pinged and verify the connectivity. We noticed the Function block utility does not have the powerflex 700 listed as one of its options and therefore is unable to be tied into our CCW logic. I do see that we have connectivity but the FBerror field is true and the drive type is unkown (which I would expect if its not fully supported under the AB provided Function Block). Question is, has anyone been able to read from and control a 700 VFD from a micro800 series PLC using CCW ? If so can you provide details on how you are doing it? We have control over the newer model powerflex drives just this older so far is an issue.
We are using the micro850 with the latest version of CCW.
