Safety Instruction

1 Safety Instruction
The Safety Instructions in the available application documentation contain specific signal words (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION or NOTICE) and, where required, a safety alert symbol (in accordance with ANSI Z535.6-2011).
The signal word is meant to draw the reader's attention to the safety instruction
and identifies the hazard severity.
The safety alert symbol (a triangle with an exclamation point), which precedes
the signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION, is used to alert the reader
to personal injury hazards.

DANGERIn case of non-compliance with this safety instruction, death or serious injury
will occur.

WARNING
In case of non-compliance with this safety instruction, death or serious injury
could occur.

CAUTION
In case of non-compliance with this safety instruction, minor or moderate injury
could occur.

NOTICEIn case of non-compliance with this safety instruction, property damage could
occur.
Do not attempt to install and operate the components of the electric drive andcontrol system without first reading all documentation provided with the product. Read and understand these safety instructions and all user documentation
prior to working with these components. If you do not have the user documentation for the components, contact your responsible Bosch Rexroth sales partner.

EtherNet/IP●

SERCOS III●

EtherCAT●

Modbus/TCP
This extension card fully supports the EFCx610 firmware the version
03V08 and above, while more industrial Ethernet protocols will be
developed to be incorporated in the MEP extension card, please always check for the latest version of this manual for a most up-todate reference.

Chapters 1 through 3 provide the general information of the MEP extension
card, while chapters 5 through 9 contain detailed technical information relevant
to different industrial Ethernet protocol. The common configuration, parametersand diagnosis are described in chapter 4, 10 and 11.

Introduction

2.2 Engineering Tools
For using the MEP extension card, an engineering connection from laptop / PC
to the EFC series frequency converter is necessary. Such a connection can beestablished with using following methods:●

Via Ethernet using IndraWorks. In this case, the MEP can be browsed and theIP address can be set.

●

Via USB using ConverterWorks or IndraWorks. Plug the cable and connect.

The figure below shows an overview of ConverterWorks.

3.4 LEDs
Two slots are provided in the extension card module. On each slot, four dual-color LEDs are equipped for state indication if the MEP extension card is applied.
The network status (NS: H11/H21) and module status (MS: H12/H22) LEDs are
red/green. The physical status of port 1 (P1: H13/H23) and port 2 (P2: H14/
H24) are yellow/green.

5 PROFINET IO
5.1 Protocol Configuration
5.1.1 Device NameA PROFINET IO device is addressed through the so-called device name. EachPROFINET IO device operating in the same network must have unique device
name.
The device name can be assigned locally via: H3.20 MEP: Station Name
(PROFINET), or through device naming by a configuration software tool.

5.1.2 IP Settings
All PROFINET IO devices follow the TCP/IP protocol, thus they need an IP address when operating on the Ethernet.
Table below gives an overview of all IP-related parameters.
Code

Tab. 5-1: IP-related parameters

The parameter H3.06 can be set to enable the MEP in receiving IP address froma DHCP server, see chapter 10.2.2. In most cases, the IP address of IO devices
are assigned by IO controller. If not assigned by the PNIO controller, user should
manually set IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
It is recommended, either to use a static IP address at fieldbus project for engineering access via SERCOS/IP, which was already parameterized to the MEP or
to ensure, that the IP address assigned dynamically by the PNIO controller atfieldbus startup is equal to the parameterized IP address at MEP. If static anddynamically assigned IP address differ, an engineering connection (SERCOS/IP)
already established will be lost, when PNIO controller assigns new IP address.

5.2 System Configuration
5.2.1 GSD file
A GSD file which contains the setup information of IO device communication isrequired when configuring the PROFINET IO controller.
Users can download the GSD file through the following steps:
1. Click on http://www.boschrexroth.com/dcc.
2. Choose “Frequency converter -> EFC 3610 (or EFC 5610)” from the navigation bar on left-hand side of the operation interface.
3. Choose “Download area” tab from right-hand side of the interface.
4. Click on “DEVICE_DESCRIPTIONS_MULTI-ETHERNET_EFCX610_xxxx-xxxx.ZIP” to download the ZIP file.
5. Extract the ZIP file and get the GSD file.
"xxxx-xx-xx" indicates the date.
The following is the instruction of installing the GSD file on the Simatic Manager
software tool. It can be found in the hardware catalog.

In the configuration of project hardware, user can configure the EFC x610 as an
IO device in the PROFINET IO system. The Propertieswindow below shows the
key information of the IO device.

5.2.3 Topology
The MEP communication extension card integrates a Cut-Through-Switch thatenables the possibility for connecting several MEP communication extension
cards in a line topology as an alternative to the typical star topology.
Typically a mixed line and star topology connecting with an industrial Ethernet
switch is applied in the field.

5.3 Acyclic Communication
5.3.1 Principle
Acyclic communication is mainly used for parameter read/write accesses fromcontroller, supervisor etc. The PROFINET service “read/write record” (RPC over
UDP) is utilized to realize the object addressing.
With the SFB52 “RDREC” and SFB53 “WRREC”, a data record with the number
INDEX can be read from or written to a PROFINET IO device module defined by
ID. The key arguments ID and INDEX are described below.
When parameter write access on the two bytes type parameter, any
values exceed 65,535 (0xFFFF) will be reduced automatically to a
two bytes value. If the reduced two bytes value is in the valid range,
then it will be accepted and without value exceed limits indication.

5.3.2 Module ID
The diagnostic address of the PROFINET IO device can be treated as the module
ID when read/write record is called. It can be found in the hardware configuration of the software tool.

Fig. 5-5: Diagnostic address

5.3.3 Record Index
The record index corresponds exactly to the function code parameter to be accessed. The address of the function code parameter is composed of a higher
byte representing the parameter group and a lower byte representing the sub-index in the group.
The parameter group map is shown as below.

Tab. 5-2: Parameter group mapping

An offset of 0x30 must be added on the parameter sub-index to form the record
index. For example, the record index of E0.26 Acceleration Time is:
0x3000 + 0x1A + 0x30 = 0x304A

6.3 Acyclic Communication
6.3.1 Message Parameters
To allow parameter for being set via Ethernet/IP interface, all function code parameters can be accessed, via a manufacturer-specific class object, with corresponding instances for each function code parameter. The function code parameters can be either addressed via an "Unconnected Explicit Message" (UCM) or
via a "Connected Explicit Message" (Class 3).
In EtherNet/IP communication, the objects are addressed according to the following scheme: CLASS → INSTANCE → ATTRIBUTE.
Class: All parameters of the EFCx610 frequency converter are mapped to the
manufacturer-specific classes 100 (0x64) + Subdevice index, i.e.: Subdevice 0 -->Class 100, Subdevice 1 --> Class 101 … Subdevice 98 --> Class 198.
Instance: The instance number is identical to the numeric coding of the EFCx610
parameters.
Attribute: The attribute number is identical to the element number during access
via function code parameters.
Message configuration below shows an example of parameter E0.26.

Fig. 6-9: Message configuration

Refer to chapter 8 for the numeric coding of EFCx610 parameters.
