Resolution:
See attachment for screenshots showing SoMove V2.9.4

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
-Now type in your Drives IP address example 10.172.86.1

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:
How do I configure the Pressure or PI [PID Regulator] control configuration in the ATV312?

Product Line:
ATV312 ALtivar 312

Environment:
All model numbers

Cause:
Activating PID control

Resolution:
Several factory default functions are incompatible with PI control so they must first be deactivated before PI control can be set up.
First, go to the FUN menu and turn off the Summing and un-assign summing inputs.
From the FUn- menu, SAI submenu, make sure SA2 and SA3 are both set to NO (by default SA2 is set to AI2).
Then go to FUN menu and turn off the Preset Speed function.
Go to FUn- menu,  PSS submenu, set PS4 to NO (default is LI4) and then set PS2 to NO (default is LI3).
You will not be able to set PS2 to No until after PS4 had been changed to No, so be sure to do it in the order listed.

Then you should have access to the PI Submenu.
Set PI parameters:
FUn - PI - PIF = AIx where x is the analog input for the PID feedback - Typically AI3 if the feedback signal is a mA input or AI1 if the signal is DC Voltage.
FUn - PI - PII = YES for internal setpoint adjustment
FUn - PI - rPI = reference setpoint as a % of the feedback full range

Example:  Transducer is a 0-120 PSI sensor and the customer wants to maintain 60 PSI....The rPI parameter would be set to 50% (half of the sensor range.
If the setpoint was 80PSI then the rPI parameter would be set to 67%  (80psi/120psi=.667 or 67%)

Also consider:
FUn - PI - PIC = YES to reverse the PID correction so that a low feedback results in a slower VFD speed to correct
Sleep/Wake function by setting SEt - tLS = low speed timeout and PI - rSL = wake threshold

No, the toggle on the breaker frame cannot be replaced as the toggle is integral to the breaker frame.

The breaker frame needs to be replaced.

However, the toggle extension (4 to 5 cm long piece screwed to the toggle) can be replaced, but only if the toggle thread is not damaged.
 
If the thread is damaged the breaker frame needs to be replaced.

For the NSX up to  250A - Part number is LV429313

• The IFE uses ULP (Universal Logic Plug data protocol) data directly from Micrologic trip units and converts the data to Modbus TCP/IP.

• The IFE (cat. no. LV434001) is the Ethernet interface for Powerpact and Masterpact circuit breakers.  Previous cat. no. was LV434010.
• The IFE Gateway (cat. no. LV434002) is the Ethernet interface for Powerpact and Masterpact LV circuit breakers, plus a gateway for Modbus-SL (serial line) connected devices. Note that the IFE Gateway is also referred to as IFE Modbus, or IFE Server. Previous cat. no. was LV434011.

Issue:
Phase rotation parameter on the ATV312 

Product Line:
ATV312

Environment:
All serial numbers, all model numbers.

Cause:
Run forward command results in motor running in reverse rotation.

Resolution:
No, the ATV312 does not have a phase rotation parameter.  Typically, correction of rotation is accomplished by swapping 2 motor leads at the VFD output, T1/T2/T3.
In the CtL menu, there is a Rotating Direction parameter (rot) that applies to the the remote keypad FWD/REV button only when the command channel is LCC and speed reference channel is AIU1 or LCC.


Information about the rot parameter can be found in the ATV312 Programming Manual:
https://www.schneider-electric.us/en/download/document/BBV46385/

• Check your load to see if motor direction is correct. If the motor is spinning too fast in the wrong direction, the drive will have a difficult time catching it and correcting the direction. In this case, a mechanical brake on the motor may be necessary
• See if motor is stuck or in a locked rotor.
• Check the drive settings (drC- menu) to be sure the motor nameplate information is entered correctly (UnS, FrS, nCr, nSP, COS) 
• Check your the Set- menu to be sure ItH (motor thermal current - Overload protection) and CLI (Current limitation) are set properly.
• Measure motor current draw.

• 2 Wire control solution:  Try setting the two wire type parameter tCt to Level control (LEL) menu  in the IO menu.
• 3 Wire control solution: Make sure that LI1 the stop NC input is turned on when the drive is powered up.  If this input is open the drive will display NST until you close this input.

There are multiple classes of thermal overload relay.

These class numbers indicate the trip characteristics from cold state, and should be selected according to the starting characteristics of the motor and its application. Below is a table giving the characteristics for each class

Ir = Current setting of overload relay. This should be the Full Load Current (FLC or FLA) shown on motor rating plate. For the vast majority of applications 10A will be the first choice.

The rated Short-Circuit Making Capacity (Icm) for Compact NS Moulded Case Circuit Breaker is as per the table attached and is dependent on the Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity (Icu).

(Note: Table is extracted from IEC 60947-2 document)

The part number for terminal end plate that suits NSYTRV44D is NSYTRACE24

NSYTRACE24 also suits NSYTRV24D, NSYTRV24DPE and NSYTRV44DPE

Standard Compact NSX motor mechanism doesn't have the option for communication. 

You would require a communicating Motor mechanism + BSCM + NSX Cord in order to achieve this. 

Please note: communicating Motor mechanism only comes in 220-240VAC. 

NSX 100/160/250

NSX 400/630

You would also require IFM (LV434000) for Modbus output or IFE (LV434001 or LV434002) for Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet. 

Once you have the above units/modules, then you should be able to control your circuit breaker with communication such as PLC.
