Parameter Mapping Configuration

For each cyclic link a start parameter and number of consecutive parameters must be defined. A typical requirement is to transmit and receive parameter values from non-consecutive parameters. This can be performed by configuring a suitable Menu 0 parameter as the start parameter and the required number of parameters as the count. Menu 22 of the drive can be used to configure what parameters the selected Menu 0 parameters point to.

For example to configure a 1ms transmit cyclic link with control word and speed reference the following parameter changes would be required:

Pr S.10.011 | 1
Pr S.10.012 | 0.00.020
Pr S.10.013 | 2
Pr S.10.014 | Broadcast (1)
Pr S.10.016 | 1
Pr 0.22.020 | 6.042
Pr 0.22.021 | 1.021

Synchronous Cyclic Data

Note: Synchronous Cyclic Links are supported on Unidrive M onboard Ethernet interface but not on SI-Ethernet on Unidrive M200 - M600.

Cyclic data links can be made synchronous, utilising the IEEE1588 clock time distributed across the network. The IEEE1588 clock can synchronise the drive's control loops, Pr 11.002 displays the active option slot providing synchronisation. With synchronised control loops the Ethernet interface can be used to transfer drive parameters containing motion information, including those from the AMC.

Synchronous links work by including the time of when the data should be used along with the data values. This time allows enough time for the cyclic link to reach all destination devices, the time allowed for can be set in Easy Mode Maximum Network Delay (11.030). The receiving interface will wait for its current time to match the timestamp in the cyclic link before processing the message.

Transmit

1 link can be synchronous with a maximum of 2 x 32bit parameters.

Receive

1 link can be synchronous with a maximum of 2 x 32bit parameters.

VLAN

To guarantee the timing of synchronous links VLANs must be enabled using Drive VLAN ID (4.02.031). VLANs include a priority field that is applied to all messages. This field is used to apply a higher priority to synchronous cyclic data than other non-deterministic traffic.

AMC & Onboard User Program Timing

Synchronous cyclic data can be used with both the AMC and the drives user program. When using synchronous cyclic data with the AMC ensure that the AMC Rate Select (Pr 31.012) is the same as the transmission rate; 250us, 500us, 1ms, 2ms or 4ms. the clock task of the onboard user program can be scheduled for periods 4ms and greater. For the clock task on multiple drives synchronised with IEEE1588 to be synchronised and in phase all clock tasks must be set to 4ms only. If synchronous cyclic data is used both for the AMC and the user program interacting with the AMC then Pr 31.012 and the clock task must be 4ms.

Virtual Master

It is possible to send cyclic data to devices on the network and use the same data on the transmitting device. The cyclic links must be synchronous to include timing information. On the transmitting device a rceieve link must also be configured with a matching link number to the transmit. for this link you must set the source type Rx1 Source Type (4.10.044) to be Local. The Ethernet interface will delay the usage of the data transmitted until the same point in time that all receiving slaves will use the data.

Parameter Update Rate

Parameters are exchange over the network. The value exchanged with the network must be exchanged with the drive or option parameter. The rate of data exchange differs for synchronous / non-synchronous cyclic links as well as for drive/option destinations.

The diagram below depicts the update cycles used within the Ethernet interface. Cyclic link mappings being exchanged with the drive will be updated at the background task rate. This rate Background cycles per second (4.09.008) varies with the load on the Ethernet interface; Ethernet/IP data exchange also takes place in the background task.

This parameter allows the protocol to be defaulted to factory settings. This includes all of the protocol features, configuration, mappings and stored objects.

Parameter | 4.10.004 Cyclic Messages Per Second
--- | ---
Short description | Displays the total number of received amd transmitted per second
Minimum | 0 | Maximum | 65535
Default |  | Units |
Type | 16 Bit Volatile | Update Rate | Background
Display Format | Standard | Decimal Places | 0
Coding | RO, ND, NC, PT, BU

Displays the total number of cyclic (Rx and Tx) messages per second. This includes Easy Mode and Offline configurations.

Parameter | 4.10.005 Configuration Valid
--- | ---
Short description | Indicates that the active configuration is valid
Minimum | 0 | Maximum | 1
Default |  | Units |
Type | 1 Bit Volatile | Update Rate | Reset, Background
Display Format | Standard | Decimal Places | 0
Coding | RO, ND, NC, PT

If the active configuration identified by Active Configuration (4.10.007) has no configuration errors then the configuration is valid and this parameter will be On (1).

If the active configuration is Easy Mode made effective through a Reset (4.10.002) to On; Configuration Valid (4.10.005) value can be read once Reset (4.10.002) returns to Off as shown in the associated timing diagram.

If the active configuration is Offline (representing a configuration provided by a PC tool) the configuration was created in conjunction with the user application.

Parameter | 4.10.006 Operational
--- | ---
Short description | Indicates that the all links in the active configuration are receiving/transmitting successfully
Minimum | 0 | Maximum | 1
Default |  | Units |
Type | 1 Bit Volatile | Update Rate | 1ms
Display Format | Standard | Decimal Places | 0
Coding | RO, ND, NC, PT

This parameter provides an indication that all links in the active configuration are:

1. Receiving new messages successfully AND
2. Transmitting links; this however does not mean the destination devices are receiving the messages; this will be dependent on their own state.

A receive link timeout will cause this parameter to become cleared until a new message is received. A single data late event will cause this parameter to be Off until the next cyclic message is received on time. This parameter is updated every 1ms; if low latency reactions to timeout and data late events are required then appropriate actions should be configured for the links, see Rx1 Timeout Action (4.10.046) and Rx1 Late Synchronisation Frame Action (4.11.040) for further details.

See timing diagram in Configuration Valid (4.10.005).

A user program utilising cyclic data may use this parameter along with Configuration Valid (4.10.005) to detect when cyclic communication is operational; once detected if the user program wishes to monitor for timeout or data late events the provided counters (Timeout Count (4.10.008) and Data Late Count (4.10.009)) can be used.

Parameter | 4.10.007 Active Configuration

Parameter | 4.10.008 Timeout Count
--- | ---
Short description | Displays the number of receive timeout events
Minimum | 0 | Maximum | 65535
Default |  | Units |
Type | 16 Bit Volatile | Update Rate | 1ms
Display Format | Standard | Decimal Places | 0
Coding | RO, ND, NC, PT, BU

This parameter displays the total number of receive timeout events; the parameter value will wrap over to zero.

A reset of the configuration will clear this count; see the timing diagram of Configuration Valid (4.10.005). Each timeout event will increment the count. The count can be sampled by a user application in order to detect change since the last sample; this enables custom reaction to a timeout event occurring on any cyclic receive link which has a timeout value configured, irrespective of the timeout action for the link.

If a custom timeout reaction is required on a per-link basis then the link action must be chosen appropriately in Rx1 Timeout Action (4.10.046); this could be Clear output to write zero to all of the cyclic parameters and implement monitoring code for this condition in the user application.

Parameter | 4.10.009 Data Late Count
