STEP 1
Turn OFF your computers firewall before starting so you will have access to your Ethernet port. 


STEP 2
Edit Connection on your computers ethernet port and setup IP address in the Altivar Drive using an HMI.
Computer or PC setup:
Example setting up your PCs IP address.
Search Ethernet settings
-Change adapter options
- Choose the Ethernet port you want to use.
-Choose Properties
-Make sure IPV4 and IPV6 are both checked. 
-Double click on the IPV4 settings
-Select "Use the following IP address" and now enter in an IP address for your PCs ethernet port. 
Note this IP address needs to match your Drives IP address up to the last octet. 
Drives IP address= 10.172.86.1 (for the Drive) and your PC's IP address = 10.172.86.10 (your computer)
Subnet address= 255.255.255.0
-Choose ok


Drive Setup
Example set your Drives IP address using the remote HMI under the Ethernet settings in the programming. 
Type=Fixed
IP address= 10.172.86.1 (for the Drive) 
Subnet address= 255.255.255.0
-Power cycle your Drive after changing the IP address 


STEP 3 
Open up Somove 2.9.4 or newer and setup your "edit connection/scan" settings.
-Click on  "edit connection/scan"
-Choose Modbus TCP double click
-Choose the advanced settings (small gear wheel icon).
-Choose More
-Choose Scan tab

-Apply and OK
-Ok again 


STEP 4 
-Now Scan for the Device to see if your PC finds the Drive. 
-double click on the picture of the drive to connect and load from the device.



NOTE: If your Drives ATV630 or ATV930 Firmware is version V3.3IE or above it will now include cyber security features and you will have to enter a password before connecting to the drive other Ethernet or Profinet. You can find this unique password on your HMI under the Communications menu, Embedded Ethernet configuration, and find SECE.  SECE select OK on the HMI and then select WDPE and press ok.  Your will now see your unique password example "iY^Nm9cV"
This password is temporary and will need to be changed and remembered.

The USERNAME: ADMIN (all caps)
The Password: iY^Nm9cV (for this example only) 







Please read and understand before checking OK. 



Somove is loading settings from the Drive to your Somove on your PC. 




Your are now connected to the Drive when the bar across the top turn's orange. 




Please be aware that you will be required to enter a password when you connect via Ethernet or Profinet if your Process Drive is version V3.3IE or higher so if you live in an area or work for a company that does not require or mandate having a password for Ethernet or Profinet for cyber security you can disable the feature if desired.  Otherwise leave the feature active which can offer the best cyber security. 




Done.  

NOTE:  

This example should work using.

Issue:
ATV61/ATV71 tripping circuit breaker 

Product Line:
Altivar ATV61/ ATV71

Environment:
All

Cause:
Circuit breaker keeps tripping when try and power up the drive.

Resolution:
The circuit breaker is tripping because it is sensing a short circuit or over current in the circuit. Before repowering the drive you will need to do a full diode check on the inputs and the outputs on the drive.
Do a visual on the drive with no power applied check to see if there are any burn marks on the drive.
Check the breaker settings to see if they may need to be adjusted.
 

Issue:
Wiring 0-10V DC Signal in the ATV32, ATV312, ATV61 and ATV71 drives?

Product Line: 
ATV61,  ATV71,  ATV31,  ATV312,  ATV32

Environment:
All serial numbers Open style VFDs

Cause:
Needs to wire in a  0-10vdc signal for speed control.

Resolution:
On the ATV32, ATV61 and ATV71 drives, you can wire the 0 to 10vdc signal to AI1+ to com as reference speed 1, and you can program AI2 in menu the IO menu to set up AI2 as a 0 to 10vdc speed reference 2.
Please note that there is a factory installed jumper between AI- and com that allows this input to work with a 0 to10vdc input.  If you remove the jumper, then it becomes an -10vdc to +10vdc input.

On the ATV312, the 0-10vdc signal is landed on AI1 only.

Drives are shipped with factory jumpers should they be removed or not?

Resolution:
PO and PA jumpers normally should not be removed.  In some cases a customer may remove the PO/PA jumpers and add a DC choke in its place.
PWR and +24vdc jumpers normally should not be removed.  In some cases a customer might remove the jumper and add a normally closed dry contact for an e-stop circuit or a shutdown circuit.
 

Suppose the following happens when connecting the DCCABKIT6 cable between Laptop and DALIcontrol Duo Mode 3 Power Supply (DCDALCIP250-2).

In Device Manager find something like

The cable has likely been used with some other product that has recognised the FDTI chip and installed this LibUSB driver which is not recognised by the Simple Wizard which sees a different device ID

BEFORE GOING FURTHER REALISE THAT ONCE COMPLETE THE OTHER DEVICE WILL NO LONGER FIND ITS REQUIRED DRIVER.

Right click on this entry in the Device Manager and select Properties from the menu

And proceed to the Driver tab

…and select <Update Driver>

… and Select <Browse my computer for Drivers>

Select <Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer>

1. If the keypad is remote mounted, try plugging the cable into the unused port.  If the keypad connects, then the port settings listed above need to be checked.
2. If it still doesn't connect, try plugging the HMI directly on the drive.  If it connects, either the remote mount cable or the mounting kit have problems and may need to be replaced.
3. If it still doesn't connect, try swapping keypads with a known good one (to determine if the issue is in the keypad (VW3A1101) or not.
4. If a known good keypad does not work when connected to the HMI ModBus port directly on the drive AND the ModBus HMI port parameters have been checked as described above, then replace the control board.

Issue:
Skip Frequency to eliminate mechanical vibration
 
Product Line:
ATV61 and ATV71
 
Environment:
All models and serial numbers
 
Cause:
None
 
Resolution:
Skip frequency. This parameter prevents prolonged operation within an adjustable range around the regulated frequency. This function can be used to prevent a critical speed, which would cause resonance, being reached. Setting the function to 0 renders it inactive.
 In the [SETTINGS] menu
Go to [Skip Freq.] and enter the frequency you want to skip.
If the resonance is within a range, you can use the [Skip.Freq.Hysteresis] parameter.  This can be assigned from 0 to 10 hz.  This makes the skip frequency range: between (JPF – JFH) and (JPF + JFH).  This adjustment is common to all 3 frequencies (JPF, JF2 and JF3).

Scenario: You want to use a C-Bus motion SENSOR to trigger a scene stored on another device i.e C-Bus switch when it turns ON and then trigger a second scene when it times OUT and turns OFF.

Mandatory: The C-Bus switch will need to have built in scene and virtual keys (switch firmware >= v2.0.00)

The motion detector to trigger scenes needs to utilise the secondary application (trigger control)

C-Bus Sensor secondary application is set to Trigger control and the Key1 is then select to set to trigger secondary application by clicking on the P(Primary application) it will change to S(secondary application).

The Trigger Group will need to be the same (common) to trigger both scenes - and its the value of the trigger group that acts as the action selector telling the triggered scene which action is being triggered.  

The scenes will be stored in a KEYE4. 

Action Selector 0 means that Scene 1 will trigger when Trigger Group 0 is at 0 (OFF) level and
Action Selector 255 means that Scene 2 will trigger when Trigger Group 0 is at 255 (ON) level.

Problem

Need to connect a remote OPC client to ClearSCADA and bypass DCOM.

Solution

This can be achieved by installing the Data Access component of ClearSCADA on the remote machine that hosts the OPC client. To install and configure the Data Access component follow the steps below:

1. Run the ClearSCADA Installer on the remote machine hosting the OPC client and select "Install ClearSCADA".

2. Select Custom installation and only install the Data Access component:

3. You should now see the Configure Connections program if you click on the Windows Start button. If the program cannot be located in Windows Start menu, the program can be run directly from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\ClearSCADA\ClientConfig.exe (on 64-bit machines) or C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\ClearSCADA\ClientConfig.exe (on 32-bit machines)

4. Run the Configure Connections program and create a connection to the ClearSCADA server by specifying the IP address (or server name) of the ClearSCADA server in the Node Name field of the Node A tab and select OK to apply the changes: 

5. Your OPC Client should now see ClearSCADA OPC Server among its local OPC servers as below:

The OPC service name appears in the following format based on the information defined within the Configure Connections program:

    Serck.ScxV6OPC[OPC type].[System name].[Host address or IP address]

The Data Access component uses TCP port 5481 (default) to communicate to the ClearSCADA server and the server connects back to the client on TCP ports 5500-5509. Make sure these ports are not being blocked on either machine hosting the OPC client or the ClearSCADA server. It is possible that your application might have different ports allocated for client-server communication.
