DESCRIPTION The FR-A5NP option unit consists of two circuit boards. The option unit is mounted in option port #3 on the inverter unit. The inverter top cover must be removed to install the option unit. After installation, the top cover is reinstalled and connection to the PROFIBUS-DP bus is completed through a connector accessible through the top cover.
2. INSTALLATION Remove the drive cover following the inverter instruction manual and install the option unit using the following procedure: 2.1 Pre-installation Checks (1) Check the inverter type. Use the option unit only with an FR-A500(L)/F500(L) series inverter. Do not use it with any other series (e.g. A200E, A200, A100, Z and F series).

INSTALLATION (5) Construct a short cable to connect the network to the inverter. On one end of the cable, install a connector compatible with the network. On the other end, install a DB9-style male connector. Make sure the cable can support 12.0 Mbps communications (as specified in the EEIA-RS- 485 standard).

RS-485 signal A and the RXD/TXD- to B’. Some PROFIBUS-DP implementations confuse these two signals. If you are having trouble establishing communications from the FR-A5NP to your PROFIBUS-DP master, verify that the proper data signal assignments are made. It may be necessary to swap these two signal lines.

The node address must be set to the value as configured when setting up your PROFIBUS master. The master must be aware of the node addresses assigned to the FR-A5NP or communications will not be established. Refer to user documentation for master details.
INSTALLATION 2.3 Connecting To The Network (1) Make sure the inverter is at rest with power off and the option unit is mounted in the inverter. Connect the PROFIBUS cable created in section 2.2 to the network. (2) It is now safe to apply power to the inverter and run it in PU, external, or net mode, provided that any external inverter control cables in addition to the PROFIBUS network cable are installed correctly.
3.2 Selecting the Operating Mode The following table describes the actions required to change the operating mode. The FR-A5NP option may be used to monitor all data in the inverter in any operating mode. The inverter must, however, be in "Net Operation"...
OPERATION One way to ensure activity is to configure the PROFIBUS master to enable response monitoring. Alternatively, you can have the PROFIBUS master issue a null command (Command Word 1 = 0) or any other command. Refer to Section 5. 3.3 Functions Available in the Operating Modes The functions available to the drive depend on the operating mode.
OPERATION 3.5 Output From Inverter to PROFIBUS You can monitor the following items: Availability of monitor depends on the inverter. Refer to the inverter manual for details. • Output Frequency • Output Current • Output Voltage • Frequency Setting • Running Speed (r/min) •...

5. INVERTER PROFIBUS DATA WORD DEFINITION This chapter describes the basic structure of the PROFIBUS-DP data word and how it is implemented within the inverter. For examples of commonly used commands and how they may be implemented, please refer to page 38 in this manual. (1) This option unit acts as a PROFIBUS-DP slave to a PLC or equivalent controller acting as a PROFIBUS-DP master class 1 on an RS-485 network.

Programmable Controller will require that this data be sent to the inverter in a “byte-swapped” configuration. In this case, the position of the high-order byte and the low-order byte are switched in the data string. The FR-A5NP communications buffer memory map is illustrated in the following tables: Parameter Id (PKE)

PROFIBUS network configuration software tools such as MELSEC Profimap. It allows the user to configure their PROFIBUS-DP master to communicate with the inverter drive via the FR-A5NP option. The purpose of the MEAU0865.GSD is to provide information on an external disk about configurable attributes and functionality for a PROFIBUS-DP device.
Appendix Appendix. B Commonly used PROFIBUS-DP commands The inverter can easily be controlled and monitored using a PROFIBUS- DP master. The controller sends a 6 word message string to the inverter. The inverter will respond to each message with a 6 word string. Depending on the command sent, the inverter will respond with either a AK (word #1) and inverter status (word #5) or AK (word #1), response to message (word #4 - i.e.

Network Communication Coordination using the FR-A5NP PROFIBUS-DP Option Module. When a command message is sent to the inverter via the FR-A5NP, the inverter enters a “busy” mode while the command is executed. When a command message is sent while the inverter is in “busy” mode, that command is stored in a queue in the FR-A5NP until the inverter finishes execution of the current command and exits “busy”...
Page 57
To avoid losing data in this manner, it is recommended that the user take advantage of the “Inverter Ready / Busy” message built into the FR-A5NP PROFIBUS-DP option module. Communication coordination is accomplished using a “Inverter Busy” signal available via data word number 1, designated “PKE word,”...
