The EcoStruxure Machine Expert project AltivarPLCopenEtherNetIPExample.project implements an application example which shows how to implement an Altivar variable speed drive controlled via fieldbus EtherNet/IP. The application example is based on a programming framework supporting general machine control. The monitor and control functions for the Altivar drives are implemented using the PLCopen function blocks from the library GMC Independent PLCopen MC.
System Requirements and Limitations
The application example has been created with the components listed in the table:

1) This example is based on the Modicon M251 Logic Controller, however, in principle, the concepts for the implementation of the Altivar drives on EtherNet/IP are the same for other EcoStruxure Machine Expert controllers. As a precondition, the controller must support the EtherNet/IP scanner and the GMC Independent PLCopen MC library. |
