eip4ccpu Controlling AB VFD over EIP from Mitsubishi

19 posts in this topic

We have been successful using the EIP4CCPU module in communicating Ethernet IP between Compact Logix And Mits Q PLC's. Always with the Allen Bradley as the master.

However, we are presently trying to control a 520 PowerFlex VFD from the Q series as master.  Has anyone attempted this?

Can you help with settings using EIP4CCPU module to communicate with Compact Logix?

Let me start off by stating that when we talk between AB and Mits, we use the AB as the master.

I can give more information tomorrow.

Can you send screen shots or sample file on how to setup?

Check with distributor.  EIP and CPU bundle cheaper than buying separately.

On screen shot, the IP address in the EIP software should match IP Address in the AB Generic Bridge Configuration

Hi Sparky, thanks for your help but still having issues. I am sure the EIP4CCPU is setup OK, because I have another device connected and it is working. Seems like I have issue with AB side, it cannot talk to EIP4CCPU. The EIP4CCPU address is 192.168.3.3, that is what I put in the AB module properties. Just to confirm there is not EDS required in EIP4CCPU configuration tool for this setup? Also do I need read/write on Mitsubishi PLC side?

 

Thanks,

Sounds like you already have the Mitsubishi setup as master and we had the AB as the master.  So not sure what to do here right now.

I will look in my notes when we started and see what we did for the Mitsubishi in charge of the link.

I tried another AB Ethernet module with a later revision, and everything is working great.

Thanks for your help!
