Connect by EtherCAT NX1P2 and Schneider Electric Altivar 320 (VW3A3601)

[Covis]

Hello,
hardaware: NX1P29024DT1 (ver1.18), frequency inverter Altivar ATV320U07M2B (ver. 2.7 IE32) and communication EtherCAT card VW3A3601
I have a few ESI files v.109, 111, 113, 114 instaled in Sysmac Studio in ESI Library.
I can not establish connection between NX1P2 and ATV320 by EtherCAT.
In Network cofiguration I add slave with Node Address 2. The same Address is in ATV320 (ECAA and ECSA - parameters).
When I connect both I see "Network Cofiguration Verification Error" Code 84220000 and black cross on diagram "Not matched" in Sysmac Studio.
On the communication EtherCAT card in Altivar LED1 Green Filickering (Link, activity) but LED2 is OFF (EtherCAT state: INIT). I see in Altivar that parameter ECSS (EtherCAT slave status) INIT.

If any one have experience with connection by EtherCAT NX/NJ with ATV32, 320, 340 ?

p.s.
The same communication EtherCAT card VW3A3601 I use for communication the same NX1P2 with serwo Lexium32M, of course with the appropriate ESI file for this slave and comunication is OK.

Go online with the PLC and do a compare and merge from the EtherCAT section(right click on the master). This will tell you the device, version, and whether or not you have the correct ESI file for it.

I know function "Compare and merge" and I tried it but it is not work. I have official ESI files from Schneider Electric for ATV320, for VW3A3601. These files are installed properly in Sysmac Studio.
I repeat my question.

This show that connection, cable, and communication EtherCAT card VW3A3601 are correct.
Mayby problem is in ESI files. Any ideas?

Hello,
at this moment i am after talking with Schneider Electric about this problem. They have answer that fimware of communication card VW3A3601 i too old. I have version v1.3IE01 ant this is not operate with ATV 320.
Only newer versions from v1.9IE03 to 1.11IE01 work ATV320 (not all versions of the inverters firmware), from v1.12IE03 all versions of the inverters firmware.

When I have a card with a newer firmware, I will test it and write what the results are.

I have just tested with a card with a newer firmware V1.EIE02 and it works.

Hello Covis,

I will do the same commissioning with same hardware soon (ATV320 + NX1P2).

Is there any parameter to setup on the drive to enable ethercat communication?

How did you realized the control of the drive? with CIA402 profile?

I mean, did you followed the Ethercat card manual about cmd word and status word bits?

About the firmware of the card, does Schneider replaced the card or they give you istructions to update the firmware by yourself?

Sorry for disturbing you, but I am totally new to this configuration, can you please point me to the right way?

Thanks!

"Is there any parameter to setup on the drive to enable ethercat communication? "
EtherCAT slave adress must be the same in project in SysmacStudio and parameter ECSA and ECAA .

"How did you realized the control of the drive? with CIA402 profile?
I mean, did you followed the Ethercat card manual about cmd word and status word bits?"
See attached file (Sysmac Studio .smc2) Gobal Variables use standard PDO. I attached too SoMove file (.psx)

" About the firmware of the card, does Schneider replaced the card or they give you istructions to update the firmware by yourself? "
If you have card with firmware  versions from v1.9IE03 to 1.11IE01 work ATV320 (not all versions of the inverters firmware), from v1.12IE03 all versions of the inverters firmware all is OK.
I am professionally associated with Schneider Electric, so I got a special program that allows you to update the firmware.
I think that when you contact the official representative of Schneider Electric in Italy, they will either give you this program, or you can give them your card for a firmware upgrade. It's best to talk to a competent application engineer

Hello Covis,

I had firmware 1.08, then I contacted local Schneider supplier. They sent to me the special program and I updated the firmware to 1.14.

Thanks a lot for your help, now inverter is up and running!
