10.2 Checking the status LED and the status display at the fieldbus master
Use the documentation of the controller or the master module for checking the status
LED and the status display.
Should there be no working EtherNet/IP™ master or Modbus/TCP master yet, you can
use the SEW‑EURODRIVE Ethernet master simulator for test or startup purposes.
The latest version of the Ethernet master simulator can be downloaded from the
SEW‑EURODRIVE homepage →www.sew‑eurodrive.com. You can use the Ether-
net master simulator to exchange process or parameter data with EtherNet/IP profile
or Modbus/TCP profile with an SEW‑EURODRIVE fieldbus interface.
10.3 Checking the fault sources
If the device status is "Connected", the data exchange between fieldbus master and
device is active. If the data is not transferred to the device via EtherNet/IP™ or Mod-
bus/TCP correctly, check the following possible fault sources:
Fault source Measure
Are the correct values for the process data
words displayed in the parameter tree or in the
plug-in for the application module?
If yes, continue with line 6.
Is the process data exchange activated in the
fieldbus master?
–
Is the process data written to the correct loca-
tion in the fieldbus master?
Check the tags and mapping of the
fieldbus master.
Is the PLC in RUN mode or does active for-
cing overwrite the transfer of the normal pro-
cess data words to the drive?
–
Is the PLC sending data to the device?
Contact the PLC manufacturer for
further assistance.
Is process data used according to the loaded
application module?
–
Which status is displayed in the monitor of the
application module or in the parameter tree of
the engineering software MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio for the communication interface?
