3. Implementation of the communication option cards
3. 10. 5. Using the DHCP-FDR protocol
The DHCP-FDR protocol is only supported by version 2.1 of the VW3 A58310 Ethernet option card.
This section, therefore, only applies to replacement of an Altivar 38 equipped with this type of card.
This only applies if the drive IP address is supplied by a DHCP server, i.e., if the drive IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 and the FDR function has
been enabled (
[FDR validation] (FdrU) parameter set to [Yes] (YES)).
The DHCP-FDR address server configuration remains the same when the Altivar 38 drive is replaced by an Altivar 61.
Important: It is essential to transfer the name of the Altivar 38 to the Altivar 61:
Before turning off the Altivar 38 to be replaced, check its DHCP name (its "DeviceName") from the "8-Communication" (SL) menu via the
programming terminal or the PowerSuite software workshop.
Procedure on the Altivar 38:
1 Select "Parameter 05" (-P05 or -O05) and press ENT.
2 Use the arrow keys to enter the value "4" and press ENT; this value is reset shortly afterwards by the drive.
3 Select "Parameter 01" (-P01 or -O01) and press ENT.
4 Note down the value which then appears: "xxxx" (between "0" and "9999").
The drive DHCP name is based on this value and becomes: "ATV_xxxx".
E.g., "ATV_0004" instead of "4".
You should then transfer this DHCP name to the Altivar 61 using the graphic display terminal or the PowerSuite software tool.
From the main screen, open the
[7.0 - DISPLAY CONFIG.] menu then [7.1 - USER PARAMETERS] and [DEVICE NAME];
use the navigation button as well as function keys
F1, F2, F3, F4 to enter the text "ATV_xxxx", in our example ATV_0004.
3. 10. 6. Faulty Device Replacement (FDR)
Activating the service
The FDR service is only supported by version 2.1 of the VW3 A58310 Ethernet option card.
This section, therefore, only applies to replacement of an Altivar 38 equipped with this type of card.
If the Altivar 38 to be replaced was using the FDR service (IP address set to 0.0.0.0 and FDR service activated/enabled), the Altivar 38
configuration should be transferred to the Altivar 61 following the procedure described below:
1 With the Altivar 38 supplied with power, retrieve the drive configuration using the PowerSuite v2.40 software workshop; save this
configuration in order to create an original ATV38 configuration file.
2 Turn off the Altivar 38.
3 Now implement the hardware (Altivar 61 and VW3 A3 310 Ethernet card).
4 In the PowerSuite software workshop, transfer the configuration retrieved from the Altivar 38 to the drive; this has been processed by the
PowerSuite software workshop to make it compatible with the Altivar 61.
5 Modify the
[Ethernet local conf] (LCFG) = [Yes] (YES) parameter and also the DeviceName (ATV_xxxx).
6 Start up the DHCP-FDR server (e.g., TSX Premium PLC) and check that the drive itself receives an IP address (green IP LED lit).
7 The drive configuration is automatically saved in the server.
8 Once it has been saved at least once, modify parameter
[Ethernet local conf] (LCFG) = [No] (nO).
9 Use a Web browser to connect to the Ethernet card HTTP server, then access the "FDR Agent" page located in the "Setup" menu, and
press the "Save" button.
Incompatible FDR files
VW3 A58310 Ethernet card FDR files are incompatible with those on VW3 A3 310 Ethernet cards.
The procedure for replacing an Altivar 38 with an Altivar 61 on an Ethernet network, described above, causes the FDR file for
Altivar 38 present on the FDR server to be lost.
However, the drive configuration can be retrieved in the PowerSuite software workshop if it has been saved to a file, and the
Altivar 38 that has been replaced still has its configuration.
It is, therefore, possible (if necessary) to rebuild the original FDR file on the FDR server. The procedure for doing this is similar to
the procedure described above.
