4 1 Overview This Quick Start Guide provides instructions for configuring a prototype MTR-ECI-EP-SA (MTR-ECI) motor on an EtherNet/IP network to be controlled by a Rockwell ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLC. This includes configuring the MTR-ECI with the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) software, changing the IP address of the MTR-ECI, and using the Add-On Instructions (AOI) provided by Festo for use with the RSLogix 5000 software. The diagram below illustrates a typical system consisting of a PLC, an Ethernet switch, one or more MTR-ECI-EP-SA motors, and a PC for configuring the motors.

5 2 Version Information The following versions of software and hardware were used in the creation of this guide: Description Version FCT software MTR-DCI FCT plug-in* MTR-ECI-EP-SA hardware MTR-ECI-EP-SA firmware SYCON.net software Build RSLogix 5000 software (CPR 9 SR 5) RSLinx software PLC type CompactLogix L16ER PLC firmware *Configuring an MTR-ECI-EP-SA with Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) requires use of the MTR-DCI plug-in. 3 Resource DVD Each prototype MTR-ECI was shipped from Festo with a DVD containing various resource files for assistance in configuring and commissioning the motor. This guide makes frequent reference to these files. If you don t have the DVD containing these files contact your Festo Sales Engineer or Application Engineer for assistance. 5

6 4 Configure the MTR-ECI via Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) 4.1 Download the MTR-DCI plug-in for FCT 1. The MTR-ECI uses the same FCT plug-in as the MTR-DCI. Download the MTR-DCI plugin from the Support Portal of the Festo website: Click Commissioning to download the MTR-DCI plug-in. Figure 4.1 Download the MTR-DCI plug-in from the Festo website 2. Once downloaded, locate the plug-in installation file and double-click it to install the plug-in. If you don t have internet access you can also find the plug-in on the resource DVD. 4.2 Configure the MTR-ECI via FCT 1. Connect the PC to the MTR-ECI using the KDI-MC-M8-SUB serial cable. 2. Power on the MTR-ECI and go online with it by clicking the Offline/Online button in FCT. 6

7 Click Offline to connect to the MTR- ECI. Afterward the button will change to green and display Online. Figure 4.2 Go online with the MTR-ECI 3. Configure the motor size, gear type and axis type specific to the motor and axis being used. Set the Interface Type to DeviceNet. Figure 4.3 Configure Interface Type for DeviceNet 7

8 4. Configure the homing method, either block or switch. Figure 4.4 Select preferred Homing Method 5. Set the MAC ID to 1, the Bit Rate to 500Kbit/s, and the IO Configuration to 16 Byte FHPP Standard + FPC. Figure 4.5 Configure Interface Parameters for DeviceNet 8

9 6. Configure the direct mode settings for Positioning and Force Mode if Direct Mode (FHPP) is to be the control method. Figure 4.6 Configure Direct mode settings 7. Enter position records into the Position Set Table if Record Select Mode (FHPP) is to be the control method. Figure 4.7 Enter position records into Position Set Table 8. Download and Store the configuration to the MTR-ECI. 9

10 4.3 Conversion Factor Unlike the CMMx-xx series of motor controllers, the MTR-ECI does not have Position Factor conversion built in. The conversion from encoder increments to either degrees for a rotary application or millimeters for a linear application must be calculated manually. The resulting conversion factor (numerator and denominator) must be inserted into the AOI in RSLogix The formula to calculate the conversion factor is as follows: UF = UFN/UFD = (ENC*GEAR)/FEED, where UF = Conversion factor UFN = Conversion factor numerator UFD = Conversion factor denominator ENC = Encoder resolution GEAR = Final gear ratio FEED = Feed constant of the actuator in micrometers or tenths of a degree Example 1: The following example is for a rotary application based on the G14 gearbox. ENC = 2000 increments/motor_rev GEAR = 3969/289 motor_rev/gear_rev FEED = 3600 tenths of a degree per revolution UFN/UFD = (2000*3969)/(289*3600) = 7.63, or UFN = 2000*3969 = 7,938,000 UFD = 289*3600 = 1,040,400 To remove unnecessary decimal places we will reduce UFN to 79,380 and UFD to 10,404. The UFN and the UFD are the numbers to be entered into the AOI. Example 2: The following example is for a linear application based on the G14 gearbox. ENC = 2000 increments/motor_rev GEAR = 3969/289 motor_rev/gear_rev FEED = 5800 micrometers/gear_rev UFN/UFD = (2000*3969)/(289*5800) = 4.74, or UFN = 2000*3969 = 7,938,000 UFD = 289*5800 = 1,676,200 To remove unnecessary decimal places we will reduce UFN to 79,380 and UFD to 16,762. The UFN and the UFD are the numbers to be entered into the AOI. 10

11 5 Change the IP address of the MTR-ECI via SYCON.net The prototype MTR-ECI was shipped from Festo with static IP address If a different IP address is needed for connection to the EtherNet/IP network follow the instructions below. Otherwise skip to section Install the SYCON.net software 1. The SYCON.net software must be installed on the PC first. The installer file can be found on the resource DVD. 2. During installation of the SYCON.net software you may see a Windows message regarding a Windows Security Alert. Be sure to click the Allow access button. Otherwise SYCON.net will not be able to communicate across the network. Figure 5.1 Allow access for SYCON.net software 3. Once installation is complete proceed to the next step. 11

12 5.2 Use Ethernet Device Setup to locate the MTR-ECI 1. Installation of the SYCON.net software includes a utility called Ethernet Device Setup. Launch this application from Start Menu > All Programs > SYCON.net System Configurator > Ethernet Device Setup. Make sure that the MTR-ECI is powered on and connected either directly to the PC or to the PC via an Ethernet hub/switch. Figure 5.2 Open Ethernet Device Setup software utility 2. Within Ethernet Device Setup, click the Search Devices button to locate the MTR-ECI motor. The IP address of the MTR-ECI will appear in the list of devices. Note that if more devices appear in the list you may narrow the list by clicking Options > Protocol and de-selecting DCP. Then click Search Devices again to refresh the list. (2) Note the current static IP address of the MTR-ECI (1) Click Search Devices Figure 5.3 Note the current static IP address of the MTR-ECI 12

13 3. After finding the IP address of the MTR-ECI you no longer need the Ethernet Device Setup software utility, however you can leave the software open for reference if you wish. 5.3 Use SYCON.net to change the IP address of the motor 1. Before proceeding with SYCON.net, the IP address of your PC must be set to a static IP address on the same subnet as the MTR-ECI, in this case xxx. A suitable IP address of the PC would be anything other than the IP address of the MTR-ECI, as long as it s on the same subnet, e.g After setting a static IP address for the PC, launch SYCON.net which can be found in Start Menu > All Programs > SYCON.net System Configurator > SYCON.net. Make sure that the MTR-ECI is powered on and connected either directly to the PC or to the PC via an Ethernet hub/switch. Figure 5.4 Open SYCON.net software 3. When SYCON.net is launched you will be prompted for an Administrator password. Leave the password field blank and click OK. (1) Leave password blank. (2) Click OK. Figure 5.5 Leave Admin password blank and click OK 4. Open the project file provided with the MTR-ECI, which can be found on the resource DVD. The name of the file is MTR-ECI_IP-board_16byte_Festo.spj. 13

Figure 5.13 Confirm download 12. Once download is complete the download progress window will disappear and the gateway will be shown highlighted in green in the netdevice portion of the main screen. Green highlighting shows that SYCON.net is connected to the gateway. Figure 5.14 Download complete 18

19 13. You have now successfully changed the IP address of the MTR-ECI. Right-click the gateway, wait for the context menu to appear (which can take 10 seconds or more) and click Disconnect. Figure 5.15 Disconnect from MTR-ECI 14. Wait (up to 1 minute) for SYCON.net to completely disconnect from the gateway. When it has successfully disconnected from the gateway the highlighting of the gateway will change from green to yellow to no highlighting. No highlighting means SYCON.net is disconnected from the gateway. Figure 5.16 MTR-ECI disconnected 19

20 15. If you need to change the IP address of only one MTR-ECI unit you can exit SYCON.net at this point and proceed to the next section. If you need to change the IP addresses of additional MTR-ECIs, repeat the steps in this section. Figure 5.17 Exit SYCON.net software 20

21 6 Configure the generic Ethernet adapter and the AOIs in RSLogix Sample project provided with Resource DVD A sample RSLogix 5000 project is included on the resource DVD.

27 6. Click OK to confirm the import. Click OK. Figure 6.10 Confirm import of AOI 7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 above for the remaining two AOIs, named FestoAOI_PRM_FPC1_INIT.L5X and FestoAOI_PRM_FPC1_SINGLE.L5X. When you re done the Add-On Instructions section of the project tree should look like this: Figure 6.11 Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for the remaining two AOIs 27

28 6.4 Configure the Add-On Instructions (AOI) 1. Drag the FestoAOI_MTR_ECI_CTRL AOI from the project tree to the desired (or new) rung in the MainRoutine ladder. 2. Name the instance of the newly created function block, then right-click on the label and click New to create a new tag for the control block. (1) Name the CTRL block, then right-click on the new name and (2) click New to create a new tag for the block. Figure 6.12 Add CTRL control block to ladder of MainRoutine 3. Click Create (or OK ) to confirm the creation of the new tag. Click Create. Figure 6.13 Confirm creation of new tag 28

29 4. Assign the address of the first input DINT, skipping the first DINT of data which is reserved for diagnostics, as shown below. (1) Open the drop-down list of addresses available for the first input DINT. (2) Skip the first address [0] which is for diagnostics, and select the second address [1]. Figure 6.14 Assign address of first input DINT 5. Assign the remaining input and output addresses as shown below. Note that while the first address of input data is not used, the first address of output data is used. Figure 6.15 Assign remaining DINTs to function block 29

30 6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 with the two remaining AOIs, making sure to put each AOI on its own rung. Use the diagram below as a guide for naming the function blocks, creating tags and addressing the input and output DINTs. Name this instance and create a new tag (right-click -> New ). Name the DATA_REF and create a new tag. Assign the same DATA_REF name as was created above for the FPC1_INIT block. This data type is used to pass data between the two blocks. Name this instance and create a new tag. Figure 6.16 Create blocks and tags for remaining AOIs 30

31 7 Use the Add-On Instructions (AOI) in RSLogix Enable the MTR-ECI Once you ve configured the AOIs you are ready to go online with the controller and test. Make sure that the MTR-ECI, PLC and PC are connected via an Ethernet switch. The diagram below shows the necessary settings in the CTRL function block in the order in which they should be specified for enabling the MTR-ECI. (1) Enter UFN from section 4.3. (2) Enter UFD from section 4.3. (3) Set the Halt and Stop bits. (4) Set the Enable drive bit. (5) Start homing (optional). Figure 7.1 Bits in the CTRL block for enabling the motor 31

32 7.2 Status bits The diagram below shows some of the status bits available in the CTRL block. Active when supply voltage is present. Active when motor is enabled. Active when motor is ready to execute a positioning task. Active when Halt bit is set. Active when the motor has acknowledged the StartTask bit. Active when a positioning task has finished (motion complete). Active after a Homing task has been completed. Figure 7.2 Status bits in the CTRL block 32

33 7.3 Use Record Select mode If you entered positioning records into the Position Set Table in section 4.2, step 7, you can execute these records with the CTRL function block. Use the diagram below as a guide in the order in which the steps are numbered. (3) Execute the record by toggling the StartTask bit low to high (0 to 1). (1) Enable Record Select mode by setting the OPM bit to 0. (2) Select a record number from the Position Set Table. Figure 7.3 Executing positioning tasks in Record Select mode 33

34 7.4 Use Direct mode Direct mode allows you to enter a new position (either absolute or relative) for every positioning command, along with a velocity value that is set as a percentage of the maximum speed (1 to 100%). Use the diagram below as a guide in the order in which the steps are numbered. (2) AbsoluteRelative bit = 0 for absolute, 1 for relative. (5) Execute the positioning task by toggling the StartTask bit low to high (0 to 1). (1) Enable Direct mode by setting the OPM bit to 1. (4) Enter a velocity value as a percentage of the max velocity, e.g. 90 = 90%. (3) Enter a position value for the move in tenths of a unit, e.g equates to degrees. Figure 7.4 Executing positioning tasks in Direct mode 34

35 7.5 Use the Festo Parameterization Channel (FPC) While the CTRL function block controls the bulk of the functionality needed for most applications, additional motor parameters from the Festo Parameterization Channel (FPC) can be read and written via the SINGLE function block (which works in conjunction with the INIT function block in the background). The parameters in the FPC are called Parameterization Numbers, or PNUs. All PNUs available with the MTR-ECI are summarized in Appendix B of the manual P.BE-MTR-DCI-DN-EN (part no ) which can be downloaded from the Festo website. Example: Change the acceleration and deceleration ramp In the diagram below, PNU 541 is being used to change the accel/decel ramp of positioning tasks executed in Direct mode. Note that in the SINGLE function block the Conversion Factor UF (UFN/UFD) is not applied automatically to the ParamValueWR value. The user must apply the UF manually. For example, to enter an accel/decel ramp of 1728 deg/sec, the user must enter , according to the following calculation: UFN= UFD=10404 PNU 541 = (1728 deg/sec) x (79380 / 10404) = And, because the decimal place is implied in the function block we enter the value (5) Set the Execute bit to write the PNU value to the motor. (4) Set the Write bit. (1) Determine the desired PNU and enter it here, e.g. 541 = accel/decel rate for Direct mode. (2) Some PNUs require a nonzero value for DatatypeWR. (3) Depending on the PNU, calculate the correct value by manually applying the conversion factor UF. Figure 7.5 Using the FPC with the SINGLE function block 35

36 A Example: Change Project Zero Point with FPC The following example provides instructions for changing the working zero position, or Project Zero Point, of the MTR-ECI using the Festo Parameterization Channel (FPC) in the manner described in section 7.5. This can be useful in applications where the absolute zero position of an axis must be changed after the machine is in operation. A.1 Project Zero Point vs. Axis Zero Point In FCT we can see the Axis > Homing and Axis > Measure screens as shown in the screen captures below. For the purpose of changing the zero position of a machine by way of the PLC, we use the Project Zero Point. The Axis Zero Point should not be used for this purpose. In other words, Axis Zero Point should only be changed in FCT. Change Axis Zero Point in FCT only. Figure A.1 Axis Zero Point setting in FCT Project Zero Point can be changed from PLC using PNU 500. Figure A.2 Project Zero Point setting in FCT 36

37 A.2 Create a new Project Zero Point To change the Project Zero Point from the PLC we must use the SINGLE function block as can be seen in the subsequent screen captures. 1. The first step is to move the axis into the desired new zero position, usually done by either jogging the axis positive/negative into position or disabling the axis and moving it manually. 2. The next step is to clear the existing Project Zero Point. (If you know the Project Zero Point is already zero this step can be skipped). Do this by writing a value of zero into PNU 500 using the SINGLE function block. Follow the steps shown in the screen capture below in the order in which they are numbered. (1) Set PNU to 500. (2) Set DatatypeWR to 4. (3) Set ParamValueWR to 0. (4) Set Write bit to 1. (5) Set Execute bit to Figure A.3 Clear existing Project Zero Point 37

38 3. The next step is to convert the desired new zero position into units needed by the SINGLE function block. As an example, the screen capture of the CTRL function block below shows a desired new zero position of 6461 tenths of a degree, or degrees. Pos_Factor_numerator Pos_Factor_denumerator Desired new zero position of deg. Figure A.4 Desired new zero position shown in CTRL function block 4. Before entering this value into the SINGLE function block it needs to be scaled by the Conversion Factor numerator (Pos_Factor_numerator) and denominator (Pos_Factor_denumerator). This is done as follows: 38

39 Example: 5. Once scaled, the new zero position value (ParamValueWR) can be written into PNU 500 via the SINGLE function block. Continuing the example above, the new ParamValueWR value of is now written to the axis using the SINGLE function block, per the steps in the screen capture below in the order in which they are numbered. (1) Set PNU to 500. (2) Set DatatypeWR to 4. (3) Set ParamValueWR to (4) Set Write bit to 1. (5) Set Execute bit to Figure A.5 Write new Project Zero Point to PNU Finally, as can be seen from the following screen capture of the CTRL function block, once the new zero position is written the CTRL function block automatically updates and reflects the new ActualPosition value. Note that a small position deviation of less than 1 degree is normal. 39

40 After new zero position has been written to PNU 500, the ActualPosition value in the CTRL block updates immediately, e.g. ActualPostion = -0.1 deg (~0.0 deg). Figure A.6 New Project Zero Point reflected in CTRL function block 40

41 B Example: Direct mode, Force mode for continuous rotation The following example provides instructions for operating the MTR-ECI in Direct mode, Force mode (OPM = 5) to achieve continuous rotation. B.1 Edit Force Mode settings in FCT Before operating the motor in Force mode from the PLC, there are parameters that should be set in FCT. These are found in the Motor > Direct Mode screen of FCT. Figure B.1 Force mode settings in FCT 1. In particular the Stroke Limit should be set to a high enough value that the motor will not reach its stroke limit during continuous operation. For most gear ratios available with the MTR-ECI, a Stroke Limit value of 2,000,000.0 degrees is sufficient. 2. Speed Limit should also be set. This is the maximum speed of the motor while in Force mode. If the target force value (SetValueForce) set by the PLC is greater than the force required by the load, the motor will not run away at an uncontrolled speed. It will automatically be limited to the Speed Limit value. 3. Force Window and Quiet Time are optional parameters for continuous rotation. See the Help in FCT for more details. 41

42 B.2 Start continuous rotation in CTRL function block Once the Force mode settings have been downloaded and stored into the motor from FCT, you can start Force mode tasks from within the CTRL function block. Use the diagram below as a guide in the order in which the steps are numbered. (5) Toggle the Stop bit high to low (1 to 0) to stop continuous rotation. (4) Toggle the StartTask bit low to high (0 to 1) to begin continuous rotation. (1) Set OPM = 5 to enable Force mode. (2) Set SetValueForceRamp to a percentage of the nominal value (1 to 100%), e.g. 10 = 10%. (3) Set SetValueForce to a percentage of maximum torque (1 to 100%), e.g. 50 = 50%. Figure B.2 Use CTRL function block to start a continuous rotation task 42
