Configuring communication via EtherNet/IP
Procedure
Make the following settings in order to communicate with a higher-level control via
EtherNet/IP:
1. p2030: set a value of 10: Fieldbus interface protocol selection Ethernet/IP:
2. p8921: Enter the IP address. You can find the currently valid address in r8931.
3. p8923: Enter the subnet mask. You can find the currently valid subnet mask in r8933.
4. p8922: Enter the standard gateway. You can find the currently valid Default Gateway in
r8932.
5. p8920: Enter the station name.
6. p8925: Set a value of 2: Save and activate PN interface configuration
7. Switch off the inverter supply voltage.
8. Wait until all LEDs on the inverter go dark.
9. Switch on the inverter supply voltage again.
Your settings become active after switching on.
You have configured the inverter for communication via Ethernet/IP.
Parameters p8921 ... p8925 apply if p2030 = 10 is set, for EtherNet/IP, even if the
parameter names indicates PROFINET.
4.4.1
Communication settings
You set the communication using parameter p8980. You have the following options
Communication via the SINAMICS profile
The SINAMICS profile is a drive profile for EtherNet/IP defined by Siemens, based on
PROFIdrive, and is factory set in the inverters.
Setting: p8980 = 0
With the SINAMICS profile, you can use each of the telegrams listed in parameter p0922
Communication via the ODVA AC/DC drive profile
The ODVA AC/DC drive profile is a drive profile defined by the ODVA organization
Setting: p8980 = 1
With the AC/DC profile of ODVA, you select the standard telegram, p0922 = 1
Communication settings via EtherNet/IP objects and assemblies
If you are using assemblies, which are described in the "Supported objects" (
Supported objects (Page 83)), then you must integrate the inverter yourself into the control
system. Details on this topic can be found in the documentation of your control system.
