FC14 to control a MM4 / SINAMICS G120(D) via PROFIBUS-DP

Entry-ID: 22078757, V3.2, 01/2014

1 Application description

Preposition
Aim of the application
This application has been created in order to provide users with a possibility of
quickly and simply connecting a MICROMASTER 4 or a SINAMICS G120/G120D
drive converter with Control Units CU240S/D DP/DP-F or CU230P-2 to a SIMATIC
S7-300/400 control system via PROFIBUS DP. To do this, a STEP7 project
example has been created in which the FC14 function block is used to establish
communications between the MICROMASTER 4 and a SIMATIC S7-300/400
control system via PROFIBUS DP.
This application shows the possibilities that users have when using the FC14
function block and which parameters and interface signals can be exchanged
between the FC14 function block and the user program (AWP). This application
also shows how the STEP7 project example should be used.
Scope
The following main points are discussed in this application:

1 Application description

Application description
Here, you will obtain an overview of the functions of the FC14 function block,
parameter settings of the drive and information on how to use the STEP7 project
example.

Overview
Using the FC14 function block it is now possible to quickly and simply couple a
MICROMASTER 4 or a SINAMICS G120/G120D drive converter with Control Units
CU240S/D DP/DP-F or CU230P-2 to a SIMATIC S7-300/400 control via
PROFIBUS DP. The block provides the user with a simple control and setpoint
interface. The signals used are comparable with the control and setpoint interface
via terminal strip.
The following parameters and interface signals are exchanged between the FC14
and the user program.

Function block FC14 is integrated in a functioning and tested STEP 7 project

example (FC14_PROFIBUS_DP_en). The user can use the project unchanged,
or for different hardware platforms can use the block container from the project
example.
The FC14 is not write-protected and when required, can be adapted. Internally,
using direct I/O access operations, two words can be exchanged between the
control and the drive. Control word 1 and the main setpoint are transferred from the
control to the drive. The drive sends status word 1 and the actual output frequency
back to the control.

The PROFIBUS slave address can either be set using the DIP switch at the
PROFIBUS module or using parameter P0918.
The DIP switch setting has priority and is displayed using parameter P0918 if the
DIP switch is not = 0.
This means that the address defined in parameter P0918 is only valid if the DIP
switch = 0.

Set only for SINAMICS G120/G120D

3 Additional information
3.3 3rd step STEP 7 program

3.3

3rd step STEP 7 program

FC14 is cyclically called in OB1. The FC14 interface is pre-assigned the
appropriate default values as listed in Table 1-1. When the hardware configuration
is changed or another FC14 interface parameter is used, then the block call must
be appropriately adapted in the OB1. Set the operating mode switch on the CPU to
RUN. The program must be executed error-free.

NOTE

3.4

FC14 uses UDT11 and UDT33 and they may neither be deleted nor re-named.
The user-defined data types (UDT) have been generated for control word 1
UDT11 and status word 1 UDT33.

4th step operation

4 Entering the reference frequency

Entering the reference frequency

If it is necessary to operate motors at frequencies greater than 50 Hz (e.g. 87 Hz or
100 Hz, up to a max. of 650 Hz) on a frequency inverter, in the project example
"FC14_DP_Ref_Freq_en" it is possible to additionally enter a reference frequency
for the inverter.
This reference frequency is used to convert the setpoint and actual value in the
CPU. This reference frequency must correspond to the reference frequency P2000
in the frequency inverter in order that the setpoint and actual value are precisely
calculated.

NOTE

The user must set the maximum frequency P1082 and the reference frequency
P2000 in the frequency inverter.
