Hello Guys,
I’m trying desperately to get device net to communicate with Eaton Power XL DG1 drive. I have the drive on the scan list and downloaded to the scanner as node 16. It shows “ok” under the state.
I’m using assembly 21/71 for the input and output instances as that’s the control the PLC RSLogix5000 is using. I have the instances being mapped to RSLogix5000 Local:4.I.Data[4] and Local:4.O.Data[4]. On the device net scanner I have them mapped to input I:1.74 & I:1.75 and output O:1.32.
I have the Eaton Device net card plugged into the drive and set the baud rate to match the PLC and the Mac ID as 16 and as stated the DN Scanner recognizes it and I have downloaded it to the scan list. For some reason, I’m guessing to do with mapping, I cannot get the drive to work in remote on the DN network.
I’ve got the drives settings to fieldbus for remote control and remote reference. On the I/O data menu for the comms card it’s set to use the polled data and not the Cos data. I have the drive working on local control no problem.
If I double click on the Power XL VFD comms card on RSNetworx spread sheet it brings up the comms card. When I click parameters it asks me to upload the parameters from the card which I do. Then when i click ok it tries to download to the device then fails giving an error saying it failed to communicate with the device.
I’m running out of options here and I’m looking for some help with this as this is an influent pump that needs to be in service. Any pointers would be appreciated.
*Note the old SVX9000 drive failed and the only replacement was the PowerXL DG1. I’m trying to get this new drive to communicate with the existing DN Scanner and PLC logic mapped to the scanner.
