6.9. Working with Rockwell Automation RSLogix5000
This section describes how to configure a Rockwell Automation RSLogix5000 project to connect to an Optidrive via the
OPT-2-ETHEG-IN.
NOTE
At present Rockwell Automation RSLogix5000 does fully not support the CIP Modbus Translator specification, due to this
Optidrives will only appear within the RSLogix5000 Project as an OPT-2-ETHEG-IN CIP Modbus Translator Device.
When integrating the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN into a Rockwell Automation RSLogix5000 project, the following steps are required.
6.9.1. Add the EDS file
From RSLogix5000 ‘Tools->EDS Hardware Installation Tool’.
When the tool loads, press ‘Next’.
When prompted select ‘Register an EDS File(s)’ and press ‘Next’.
Select ‘Register a single file’, press ‘Browse’, navigate to and select the ‘OPT-2-ETHEG-IN.eds’ file.
Press ‘Next’ and allow installation to complete.
At present only the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN EDS file is required. Individual Optidrive EDS files may be provided for mapping details, but
are not currently supported by RSLogix5000 and therefore should not be loaded using the ‘EDS Hardware Installation Tool’.
6.9.2. Configure the IP Address
Configure the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN IP address using either the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN Web Server (see section 6.7.3. Network Settings) or
using RSLinx as follows:
Launch RSWho from RSLinx ‘Communications->Who Active’.
From within the ‘RSWho’ window, select and expand the required path.
Right click on the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN device to be updated and select ‘Module Configuration’.
In the Configuration tab, update the Network Setting as required and press ‘Apply’.
Confirm the changes when prompted.
Power cycle the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN device.
Confirm the parameters selecting and refreshing path.
Alternatively, for a new module leave at default values and update using RSLogix 5000 once the network is established.
6.9.3. Add Device to RSLogix5000 project
Under “I/O Configuration” right click on “Ethernet” to specify a “New Module”.
Select ‘OPT-2-ETHEG-IN’ and then click “Create” [Note, the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN can be founder under Vendor filter ‘Invertek
Drives’ or Device type filter ‘CIP Modbus Translator’].
Give a name and enter the required IP address then click “OK”.
The OPT-2-ETHEG-IN tags and Class 1 connection for Drive PDI/PDO will now be available, and the data is available for your
user program.
6.9.4. Test connection
Download project to PLC.
Under “I/O Configuration” double click in the OPT-2-ETHEG-IN.
Under the ‘Connection’ tab, confirm Status = Running.
