Enhancements This section describes the enhancements provided in this version of software:

Added Support for Network Address Translation Routing

This version of software now supports Network Address Translation (NAT) when a router is located between the Logix controller and the drive.

NAT is a feature in the 9300-ENA device (and other routers) that provides the following features and benefits.

• Identically configured machines, with the same IP addresses, can be connected to and coexist on a plant-wide Ethernet network.

• Allows OEMs to consistently build machines that are identically configured.

• Network traffic from devices that are not translated is blocked from the plant-wide network. By translating only the devices needed, the number of IP addresses required on the plant-wide network can be significantly reduced.

Example: Machines A, B, and C have devices that use the same IP addresses on their local networks.

Rockwell Automation Publication 9324-RN002A-EN-P - May 2014

3

In the previous example, when the personal computer is connected on the NAT router's uplink interface side, the AOP will use the public IP address assigned to the Ethernet bridge module by the NAT router. When the AOP sends a message to the drive, it first goes to the Ethernet bridge module, which then forwards the message to the drive. Note that if the AOP is offline to the controller, the AOP cannot communicate to the drive unless the NAT router has assigned the drive a public IP address, which can then be selected in the RSWho.

When the PC is connected on the NAT router's internal network side, the AOP can communicate directly to the drive. This will work whether the AOP is online to the controller or not.

If the controller and drive are connected to opposite sides of a NAT router, the AOP needs to be configured differently. Check the box labeled ‘Module and Controller communicate through Network Address Translation (NAT) devices’ on the Port configuration tab in the Module Properties dialog box (as shown in the example below). This will allow you to set the IP Address on the Port Configuration tab page (Local / Private Address) to a different value than the IP Address on the General tab (Plant / Public Address).

Examples of Drive AOP Settings

Added the New ADC Auditor Tool

This section provides an overview of the new ADC Auditor tool introduced in the version 4.06 Drives AOP release. This enhancement was added to assist users with setting up Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) and to identify any errors or warnings with their setup.

The ADC Setup icon is used to open the ADC Configuration Settings

window. The icon is highlighted (green) to provide a visual indication that any port on the drive has been configured for ADC.


5

Click to open the ADC Configuration Settings window.

Best Practice – Do not enable ADC until after you have configured and commissioned the drive. This eliminates nuisance ADC downloads triggered by any parameter changes.

Best Practice – Enable and test ADC with one drive prior to enabling it for the entire Logix system. Any errors or warnings found with the first drive can then be taken into account when setting up ADC for subsequent drives.

Best Practice – Upload the configuration from the drive to the controller prior to enabling ADC for that drive. This makes the drive’s configuration in the project (parameter settings, peripherals, firmware revisions, etc.) match the actual drive.


6

The ADC Configuration Settings window provides a single location to configure ADC for any of the ports in the drive.

A “small” device is one whose entire configuration fits in the ‘Ethernet Forward Open’ message when a Logix controller connects to it. A “large” device, such as a PowerFlex® 755 drive, requires multiple messages from the Logix controller to transfer its configuration. ADC is this additional messaging during connection with a “large” device.

The ‘Enable Automatic Device Configuration’ and ‘Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error’ check boxes provide the ability to select /deselect all ports in their respective columns.

Selecting the ‘Enable Automatic Device Configuration’ check box enables ADC for every port. Deselecting the box disables ADC for every port. If the check box is shaded , there is a combination of selected and deselected ports in the column.

Selecting the ‘Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error’ check box enables every port to cause the Logix-Drive network I/O connection to fail if there is an error when configuring a peripheral (port). Deselecting the check box disables every port from causing the Logix-Drive network I/O connection to fail if there is an error when configuring a peripheral (port). If the check box is shaded , there is a combination of selected and deselected ports in the column.


7

The example Automatic Device Configuration Settings window below shows a common configuration for ADC, where a 20-HIM-A6 is deselected for ADC (ADC disabled for this port) and deselected for ‘Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error’. HIMs are typically “temporary” devices that could get removed. In this case, if the HIM is removed from this drive it has no impact on ADC (ADC is ignored for this port) or the I/O connection process. Conversely, had the 20-HIM-A6 check boxes been selected and the HIM was absent from the actual drive, ADC would have failed and the I/O connection to the drive would have been prohibited.

Best Practice – If ADC is used, deselect the respective ‘Enable Automatic Device Configuration’ and ‘Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error’ check boxes for “temporary” devices that are not critical to your application, such as HIMs and serial converters.

The example above also shows all ‘Allow Writes on Port’ check boxes deselected, except for the embedded EtherNet/IP port (port 13). Deselecting a port prohibits writes to that port, while reads can still occur. When ADC is enabled, the Logix controller “owns” the configuration of the drive. Changing drive configuration settings with a HIM or some other software tool, or via explicit messaging (MSG instruction) to parameter nonvolatile storage, clears the drive’s configuration signature and will trigger an ADC download the next time the controller establishes an EtherNet/IP I/O connection with the drive. Any changes made outside of Studio 5000 will be lost.


8

Best Practice – If ADC is used, deselect all port check boxes in ‘Allow Writes on Port’ except for the embedded EtherNet/IP port (port 13).

Note: The port connected to the Logix controller is always selected and cannot be changed (is dimmed).

Auditing the Automatic Device Configuration Setup for a Drive

1. Click the ADC Auditor icon to start the ADC Auditor.

The Connect To Drive dialog box opens, where you select the online drive associated with the drive in the AOP.

2. Select the drive and click OK.

3. On the ADC Auditor Start page, click Start ADC Auditor Analysis to start the process.

ATTENTION: The ADC Auditor tests the drive’s configuration settings and ADC setup by emulating the ADC download process. Configuration settings will be downloaded to the drive as part of the ADC audit process. The drive must be stopped and in a safe condition before initiating the audit. Connection to the drive must also be inhibited (check the ‘Inhibit Module’ check box on the Connection tab in the drive AOP) and DeviceLogix must not be running. Any parameter edits made during this process will not be saved to the project until OK is clicked on the Automatic Device Configuration Settings dialog box.


9

The ADC Auditor begins downloading the configuration to check for any errors or warnings.

Any errors or warning are shown in the Issues list on the ADC Auditor Solutions page.


10

4. Click each issue in the list to see potential solutions to correct the issue and make any necessary changes.

As shown in the example below, a warning icon is shown for a HIM that was configured to ‘Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error’. If the HIM gets removed (or some other error occurs when ADC downloads to the HIM), the Logix controller will not establish an I/O connection with the drive. Since the presence or absence of a HIM is typically not important enough to prevent an I/O connection from being established with the drive, you are warned about this setting and given the option to deselect the ‘Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error’ check box. Warnings only indicate the potential for an issue during an ADC download.


11

As shown in the example below, multiple errors have occurred due to out-of-range parameter values. Click on each error in the list to see potential solutions to correct the issue. Note that multiple potential solutions may be identified. In this example, parameter 329 has an error because its value (60.00) exceeds the maximum limit. Two choices are provided to correct the error.a. Change the value of parameter 329 to be within the min (-30.00) / max

(30.00) range.b. Change the value of parameter 520, which is used to provide the

min/max limits for parameter 329.

The respective error icon is changed to include a check mark to indicate that a change was made.

5. When you have completed making changes, click Recheck ADC at the bottom of the page to run the ADC Auditor again.

Errors that have been corrected are removed from the List. Any remaining or new errors are listed.

6. Correct any remaining errors and/or click Finish.


12

When finished an Audit Log displays a summary of any changes, identifies any remaining warnings, and provides an indication of success.

7. Click Close.

ADC is now configured and tested.

8. Click OK to close the AOP.


13

9. Download the project to the controller.

When the controller is set for Rem Prog, Rem Run, or Run and the connection to the drive is not inhibited, ADC will be triggered to download the configuration to the drive and set the configuration signature. The configuration signature is checked each time the controller establishes an I/O connection with the drive and cleared when any write is made to the drive outside of ADC. If the configuration signature in the drive does not match the configuration signature in the controller, ADC is triggered and the drive is configured. It is important to note that ADC occurs the first time the Logix controller connects to the drive after ADC is enabled or any time parameters are changed via the AOP. This is necessary to be sure the configuration matches and to generate and write configuration signatures for each port. Future connections made by the Logix controller, such as after a reset or power loss, will first check the configuration signatures to determine if an ADC download is necessary.


14

If you are viewing Studio 5000 during the ADC process, a yellow triangle

appears next to the drive in the I/O Configuration folder while ADC is occurring.

You can follow the ADC process by accessing the Connection tab in the AOP Module Properties dialog box and viewing the Status information in the lower left-hand corner.


15

When ADC is finished, the I/O connection is established.

ADC will not trigger again unless there is a mismatch detected in the configuration signatures when an I/O connection is being established. Possible causes of a configuration mismatch include the following items.

• A drive fails and is replaced with a new drive.• Port 1 is not write protected and you change a parameter value using the

HIM.• You change a parameter value using a drive software tool, such as

Connected Components Workbench, DriveTools SP, or DriveExplorer. • Changing a drive parameter in the Drive AOP and downloading the

configuration while offline with the controller.• The Logix program contains an Explicit Message write (MSG instruction)

to parameter non-volatile memory instead of RAM.

Refer to the following user manuals for additional information:• PowerFlex 755 Drive Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter, publication

Improved the Connection Performance

The following performance enhancements were made to the process of going online with a drive (correlation):

• Removal of the Connect to Drive button on the Drive tab

• When online with the controller, the AOP will automatically begin correlation when the Drive tab is opened (no user action is required)

• Reduced time to correlate and go online with a drive• Timing tests showed approximately 33% improvement

• New progress bar provides better visualization of correlation status

versus the previous highlighted progress text

• Fewer pop-up windows - information is now presented directly on the AOP Drive tab

• A comparison is automatically started when differences are found due to a checksum difference, and if no differences are found, the process automatically continues (no user action is required)

• Easier access to viewing configuration differences


17

• You can now go online with the drive regardless of the presence or absence of a HIM or serial converter versus the drive in the project. In previous AOP versions you would have been prohibited from going online if a mismatch was found

Added DeviceLogix Support for SMC-50

This version of Drive AOP software now supports using DeviceLogix with a SMC™-50 Solid-state Smart Motor Controllers.

Fixed Support for Specific 600V Ratings of PowerFlex 750-Series Drives

All 600V ratings for PowerFlex 750-Series drives are now supported.

Fixed 22-HIM-A3 Version 2.002 Missing Database Issue

The 22-HIM-A3 version 2.002 missing database issues has been resolved.

Added PowerFlex 520-Series Drives Support to the 22-COMM-E and 22-COMM-C Multi-drive Adapters

Support for the PowerFlex 520-Series drives has been provided for the 22-COMM-E and 22-COMM-C multi-drive mode adapters.

Revision History Version 4.05 (5/2013)• Added support for 20-COMM-ER. • Added error count check on parameter download to drives.• Added ability to modify successive module definition windows while

creating a new module.• Fixed Unicast being selected for some cases were the communications card

does not support it.• Fixed PowerFlex 700 Startup wizard crashing offline.• Fixed not being able to see the value of indirect selector parameter types

while online.• Fixed crash after close of DeviceLogix and module properties.• Fixed not being able to datalink to a host only peripheral from a dual port

peripheral.• Fixed PowerFlex 750 Series Startup Wizards Preset Speed parameters

min/max limits.• Fixed invalid brand code error message showing.• Fixed upload or download from the drive tab not updating the datatypes

used by the module.

Version 4.04 (8/2012) • Fixed ADC selections being cleared which was introduced in v4.03.

Version 4.03 (7/2012)• Added support for 20-750-ENETR. • Fixed disabling/enabling of the “Use Unicast Connection over

EtherNet/IP” checkbox on change of the connected communication module version by the Match Drive button on the Module Definition window and the tree view port properties on the drive page if the Unicast capabilities of the new communications module change.

• Fixed some minor localization UI issues. • Updated to DeviceLogix v5.003. This update corrects issues that could

cause RSLogix 5000 to crash or hang.

Version 4.02 (3/2012)• Changed when adding a new drive, ADC is disabled by default for any

drive that supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 (or later).

• Changed when converting an earlier RSLogix 5000 project to version 20+ or updating a project created with version 4.01 Drive AOPs, any ADC settings will be passed through as-is for drives that support ADC. For example:


25

• If ADC was disabled for a drive in a previous project, it will remain disabled.

• If ADC was enabled for a drive using version 4.01 Drive AOPs and that project was later updated to version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs, it will remain enabled.

• Added an ADC icon on the Drive tab to show general ADC enable/disable status for the drive. Clicking on the ADC icon will launch the ADC configuration window. This provides a single, convenient location to enable/disable ADC for any of the ports on the drive.

• Added parameter out of range notification to the parameter list launched from the drive page. Out of range parameters can cause an ADC download to fail.

• Fixed problems changing revision on the Module Definition Page that resulted in showing “An unknown program error has occurred. CBaseDriveModDefDlg::IsNewRevisionValid()”

• Added support for the restricted number ports for PowerFlex 755 Frame 1.• Fixed not being able to commit revision change as a result of uploading

from or downloading to a drive.• Fixed Match Drive on the module definition page for PowerFlex 4 class

multi-drive resulting in showing: “database is missing”, and “Failed to match to online drive”.

• Fixed Match Drive in localized RSLogix versions failing to match an online drive.

• Fixed not being able to upload/download to a DeviceLogix port that is a different version.

• Fixed the module definition dialog filtering out non-ASCII characters out of parameter names.

• Fixed a repeating communication loss error message while connecting to a drive and resolving I/O differences.

Version 4.01 (11/2011)• Added SMC-50 and a custom configured drive support.• Added Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) for RSLogix v20 and

higher. Currently PowerFlex 755 and PowerFlex 755 HiP v4.001 drives support this. This is enabled by default for supported devices.

• Fixed unicast not showing on newly added PowerFlex 4 class drives. Unicast requires version 1.008 or higher of the 22-COMM-E.

• Fixed download to 20-750-S1 from drive page.• Fixed drive keying not being enforced when using 0 datalinks through a

PF750 series connection.• Fixed a wizard hang issue while creating a new drive profile.• Fixed compare of DeviceLogix data while importing a DriveExecutive or

DriveExplorer file.• Fixed unable to check port 0 on download.

• Fixed editing and downloading DeviceLogix while online kicks RSLogix Offline.

• Fixed not being able to change to a PF750 series drive rating that has duplicate amps as another rating.

• Fixed the match drive button not matching both revision and rating at the same time.

• Fixed just opening the DeviceLogix Editor causes a prompt to save.• Fixed just opening the Port Properties dialog causes a prompt to save.• Added the option to make the Module Defined Datalinks match the

datalinks defined in the drive’s parameters in the case of a mismatch between the two while opening the Module Definition page. This mismatch can occur while editing the datalinks by the parameter editor instead of the Module Definition page.

• Added an “Upload Parameters” prompt when closing the Parameters List if the port’s checksum is trusted and has changed or if checksum is not supported.

• Added additional links to drive tab for importing/exporting DriveExecutive/DriveExplorer saved files.

• Added an option to upload/download just non-default parameters.• Changed correlation to drive to automatically upload and compare drive

parameters if the drive doesn't support checksum.• Changed the verification of online address while uploading, downloading,

or going online to check the RSLinx Harmony path instead of address configured in parameters of the online device. This is very helpful in BootP usage where the parameters are all 0’s.

• Changed it so after resetting the connected communications module and the reset command failed to return a success, you can continue instead of fail and start over.

• Changed to require drive databases for more actions. They are now also required to import a specific version/rating of a drive profile. Importing L5k/L5x projects now requires drive databases to exist. An error message is now listed in the output window if it does not exist.

• Now requires exact peripheral revision and arrangement to go online with drives while connected with v20+ controllers

• Added showing duty rating difference when uploading, downloading, or going online with a PF750 series drive and the duty rating is different.

• Added an error message on failure to apply drive changes to the project. This can occur under certain circumstances, such as when the controller is in run mode or FactoryTalk restricts changes.
