creating a system on a budget can be
painful however updated functionality
from Rockwell has brought about new
opportunities that make that happen in
this video we will cover the hardware
and software setup for the micro 800
controllers to control point.io Power
Flex 525 drives and kinetics 5100 drives
over ethernet
[Music]
first let's review the hardware since
Rockwell has changed the actual hardware
part numbers to indicate this new
functionality all micro 800 products
that have an e after the series
identifier have the capability of
controlling devices over ethernet for
example the 2080
dl50 is the beginning of the part number
for numbers of the micro 850 the 50 is
the series identif fire and that number
could be a 20 or a 70 all of these
models will have this capability as long
as the part number has an e following
that number once we identified a
controller that has the correct
capabilities then we need to select an
IO adapter or drive to work with the
controller for sip control the micro
800's are limited to controlling the
1734
aent IO e internet adapter or a power
Flex 523 or 525 drive or a kinetics 5100
Drive set up for Io mode in this demo we
have set up a micro 850 with the part
number of 2080 d l50
e-24
qbb a powerflex 525 drive with part
number 25b Das v2p
5
n104 and a kinetics 5100 drive with part
number 2198
D14
DS but for this video we will focus on
using the kinetics 5100 with our micro
850 once you have the proper Hardware
you will also need to ensure that you
have the correct firmware and software
combination the micro 850 firmware must
be version 21 or newer and you must be
using software version 21 or newer
consistent with how CCW works as long as
the software is at the same or greater
level than the firmware then you will
always be able to program that device
now that we know what hardware and
firmware we will continue with our demo
that uses firmware version 21 and
software version
22 the next step to set up the PLC is
setting an IP address along with the the
other equipment in our demo the PLC has
an IP of 1921
16815 the HMI is6 and the kinetics is 51
with all the hardware ready we need to
program the necessary configuration for
the PLC and the drive to start you
should download the latest userdefined
function blocks or ufbs released by
Rockwell to get these navigate to
Rockwell's product comp compability and
download Center or pcdc for short when
on the pcdc page select the link
download by product then on the next
page use the search bar in search for
kinetics 5100 this will bring up both
the firmware for the drive as well as
the udbs select UD FB and then select
the latest revision once in the column
on the right select the small download
Arrow next to to the description this
will then download the download manager
or you can choose to use direct download
Once you have this downloaded you will
see that it is actually a CCW archive
project with a file extension of CCW Arc
this project will need to be imported
into CCW open CCW then select file
import project when the new window opens
search to the downloads folder or
wherever you place the archive file then
select the open Button this will rebuild
a new project file with a micro 850
along with a 7in panel view 800 luckily
our project matches the same part
numbers as the archive file so no part
numbers need to be changed but now is
the time to change them if you have
different Hardware after the import
completes we will open the micro 850
configuration window by double clicking
on the controller icon shown in the
project organizer once the configuration
window is open we will select the
ethernet setting page in the lower left
window this is where we set the IP
address for the controller in our
project then we will select the plus
symbol to expand the options under
ethernet settings the expanded menu now
shows modules that can be configured we
will select the add button and in the
window give it a name ours will be
kinetic 5100 then select the type
dropdown you will have a choice of a 523
a 525 or
5100 if you wanted to set up Point IO
you need to leave it as a generic device
in our example we are going to select
kinetics 5100 then choose our catalog
number which is 2198
D14 derss the IP address of the drive
which is 192
1681 151 and a connection of data with
camming then we will change the major
revision to 4 and leave the minor
revision at zero but change the
electronic keying to compatible module
we will leave the rest of the
configuration set to default and now the
PLC configuration for the drive
Communications is configured and we will
select the okay button since we have
already imported a configured project we
do not need to develop any additional
programming but the ufbs that were added
are the device block
MFR m a m ma AI M AJ m m Mas mat msf and
MSO we will primarily be interfacing
with the on button home button jog
button incremental move button absolute
move and fault reset instructions
because our HMI project has those
buttons already created you could export
these ufbs and use them in your own
project or you could start building your
own logic from what was imported now we
need to download this code for both the
PLC and the HMI in order to prepare to
run the kinetics 5100 if you wanted to
set up the drive first and run it from
its configuration software then you'd
want to wait to the end to download to
the PLC next we will need to configure
the kinetics 5100 Drive which requires
the knnx 5100c software to be installed
on our computer if you do not have that
installed then you need to get it from
the Rockwell pcdc once the software is
installed we need to assign an IP
address to the drive this can be done
with the keypad on the front of the
drive or through the KX 5100 software
after the IP is set we will need to
connect to the drive then configure it
in the software to program the 5100 we
need to plug into the mini USB port on
the front of the drive in the software
we need to rightclick on the function
list toolbar and select add project give
the drive a name and select the proper
comp Port assigned to your computer
based on your USB connection once the
drive is added it will launch the
parameter list for the kinetics 5100 at
this time you should check the drive IP
address settings to confirm that you
have the proper address in the
configuration for our demo our Drive was
set to 1921 1681
51 then we will need to select the
settings tab and change the device
operation mode to IO mode there are many
different modes of control but IO mode
allows the PLC to take control of the
drive Drive remotely and issue commands
we will also leave the full closed loop
control disabled which is shown on the
settings tab next we will select the
motor selection in our demo we are using
a tl- a120p motor on the motor selection
page we will change the data source to
catalog number and find our proper motor
we will hit next and leave everything as
the default data then select download
this will transfer the motor information
to the drive this should be all the
required steps to set up a drive to
allow the micro 850 to control the drive
externally there may be additional steps
needed to optimize and tune the drive
but that will not affect our
functionality today now that the drive
is configured we will make sure that we
have downloaded and save our project to
keep the setting saved offline we will
then want to go offline with the drive
to ensure sure that there are no
Communications issues that occur between
the PLC control and our laptop connected
to the drive with all three devices
being configured and downloaded to our
system is now functional we can move our
motor so that the witness mark is set
above the photo eye then we will press
the servo on button followed by the home
button I will set the desired frequency
to 10 Hertz and then tell the servo to
jog this will will keep track of the
position and run until we command it to
stop then we will hit the absolute move
button and the servo will spin backwards
until it reaches the one position we
have one programmed as the desired
position but we could have changed that
if we wanted to now we will hit the
relative move button which will tell the
motor to increase one more Revolution we
can hit this a few times and you can see
it increments by one each time then we
can hit the absolute move button again
to bring it back to the one position
this makes for an inexpensive yet
capable small scale system utilizing the
newest series micro 850 controllers
along with the kinetics 5100
drives as always thanks for watching and
if you have any questions please contact
your local es& account manager or autom
specialist
