7.6 Protocol
The AD3000 drive is an adapter (slave) for the EtherNet/IP network, enabled for data exchange functions. The data exchange is implemented using a
custom communication profile user configurable.
The message exchanged between the master and the slave can have five structure types, identified with codes: PPO1, PPO 2, PPO3, PPO4 and
PPO5.
For the received and sent messages from the drive protocol the above codes uniquely define the message size (word number) and the position and
type of all message data.
The data types in the messages are divided in two categories:
parameterisation data (PKW);
process data (PZD).
To interface an AD3000 drive on an EtherNet/IP network it is necessary to define its configuration as a network node, 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 using a
PLC programming tool.
Here below is a sample screen from tests done with an Allen Bradley 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.
