Schneider Electric ATV61 manual Altivar 38 PKW indexed periodic variables, Family, Base module

3. Implementation of the communication option cards

3. 6. 5. Configuring the drive in "ATV38 Interchangeability" mode

In order to use the Altivar 38’s periodic input/output variables rather than those of the Altivar 61, you need to set switch 1 to the ON position and restart the drive.

•	Switch 0	(OFF)	: Altivar 61 mode
•	Switch 1	(ON)	: 8 serie mode

The PowerSuite software workshop will activate 8 serie mode once the configuration has been transferred.

Configuring the drive control mode

Check and configure as necessary the control mode applied to the drive in the [1.6 - COMMAND] (CtL-)menu on the graphic display terminal, the integrated display terminal or the PowerSuite software workshop.

•[Profile] (CHCF) = [8 serie] (SE8)

3. 6. 6. PLC configuration and application

In the TSX Premium master’s Fipio configurator, only the base module described in the table below is compatible with an Altivar 61 used in 8 serie mode.

3. 6. 7. Altivar 38 PKW indexed periodic variables

In "ATV38 Interchangeability" mode, we do not recommend using the PKW service for the Altivar 61 indexed periodic variables, as this service is only designed for accessing the Altivar 61 parameters.

You should, therefore, use the PKW service for the Altivar 38 indexed periodic variables, as described in the User’s Manual for the Altivar 38 VW3-A58311 Fipio card. This service can be used to access only the Altivar 38 parameters.

3. 6. 8. Managing loss of Fipio communication

In order to imitate the Altivar 38’s behavior on disconnection of the bus ("stop on ramp" imposed by the drive), you should configure it using the integrated display terminal or the graphic display terminal.

In the [COMMUNICATION FAULTS] (COF-)submenu in the [1.8 - FAULT MANAGEMENT] (FLt-)menu, assign the value [ramp] (rMP) to the [Com Bus Flt Mgt] (CLL) parameter, which is used to imitate the Altivar 38’s behavior on disconnection of the Fipio bus.

Hence, when the drive is disconnected from the Fipio bus, the CNF fault will be activated and the value of parameter CLL will cause the motor to stop on a ramp.

3. 6. 9. Communication fault

Fipio communication faults are indicated by the red RD LED on the card.

Parameter [Network fault] (CnF-)can be used to obtain more detailed information about the origin of the fault. It can only be accessed on the graphic display terminal, in the [1.10 DIAGNOSTICS] (dGt-)menu, [MORE FAULT INFO] (AFI-).

Value Description of the values of the [Network fault] (CnF-)parameter

0No fault

1Initialization fault on the Fipio card (hardware problem)

2Time out for receipt of periodic variables destined for the drive. This time out can be set by the network configuration software.

3Hardware fault on the Fipio card

4Hardware fault on the Fipio card
