6.5 LED
Every port communication status is monitored by LED on the GB40A-PROFINET for the network and the module status.
For the LED meaning see the paragraph PROFINET IO communication module (GB40A-PROFINET).
6.6 Protocol
AD3000 drive is a slave for the PROFINET IO network, enabled to exchange data. The data exchange is implemented by following a custom user-
configurable communication profile .
The protocol used is PROFINET IO; with this standard the message exchanged between the master and the slave can have five structure types,
identified with codes: PPO1, PPO2, PPO3, PPO4 and PPO5.
The above codes define uniquely, for the sent and received messages, the message size (word number) and the position and type of all data in the
message.
Data types in the messages are divided in two categories;
parameter data (PKW)
process data (PZD)
The drive control is able to manage parameter data, PKW, and process data, PZD.
To interface an AD3000 drive on a PROFINET IO network it is necessary to define its configuration as network node, by specifying the information
needed by the PLC to exchange data. Instead of a configuration file it is possible to simply configure the exchanged data number and type by using a
PLC programming tool.
Here below is a sample screen from tests done with a Siemens PLC.
With other PLCs it is possible to configure the characteristics of a Generic Ethernet Module in a similar mode to interface the AD3000 drive.
