Connecting to the network

4.1. Installation method

Using the DIP switch on the PROFIBUS option, set the station address. (Refer to Section 4.2.)
Connect a PROFIBUS connector to the PDP002Z. (Refer to Section 2.1.)
* If the PDP002Z is located at an end of the bus, connect a terminal resistor to it. (When using a connector with a termination resistor, set it ON.)
Once all the parameters are set, the power must be cycled to the VF-AS1/PS1 for these changes to take effect. (Refer to Section 5.)

4.2. Setting a station address
The DIP switch on the circuit board of the option is used to set a station address. Each DIP switch is ON when it is flipped to the lower position. By default, it is factory-configured to 2.
The station address must be unique and not match any other device on the network.

Communications-related parameters

On the network, the VF-AS1/PS1 (including the PDP002Z) serves as a slave device. Using the parameters listed below, set the slave device on the network and its mode of operation.
The GSD files used to configure the PDP002Z can be downloaded from the following website.
VF-AS1 http://www.inverter.co.jp/product/inv/vfas1/pdp/
VF-PS1 http://www.inverter.co.jp/product/inv/vfps1/pdp/

Parameter	Function	Adjustment range	Default setting
	Communication option setting 1 (PPO TYPE)	0: None 1: PPO TYPE 1 2: PPO TYPE 2 3: PPO TYPE 3 4: PPO TYPE 4	0
	Inverter operation at the communications loss action (Network wire breaks)	0: Stop and break of connection 1: None 2: Deceleration stop 3: Coast stop 4: Emergency stop 5: Preset speed operation command (Operating at the preset speed operation frequency set with f852)	0
	Preset speed operation selection	0: None 1 to 15: Preset speed	0
	Monitoring of communication device station address	Displays the station address assigned with the DIP switch. 0 to 125	1
	Monitoring of communications device’s baud rate	Displays the network communication speed set with the DIP switch. 0: 12 Mbit/s 1: 6 Mbit/s 2: 3 Mbit/s 3: 1.5 Mbit/s 4: 500 kbit/s 5: 187.5 kbit/s 6: 93.75 kbit/s 7: 45.45 kbit/s 8: 19.2 kbit/s 9: 9.6 kbit/s 255: Disabled	0

* When the parameters are changed, the power must be cycled to the VF-AS1/PS1 for the changes to take effect.
** The baud rate of the PDP002Z is automatically set by the configuration of a baud rate for the master.
*** The version described on the nameplate and the version of PDP002Z displayed by the status monitor are different.
Ex.) When the version described on the nameplate is “V10 1”, it displays “16.01” on the status monitor. (In the hexadecimal number, it becomes “10.1”.)

5.1. : Communication Loss Action Setting (Network breaks)

This parameter sets up the VF-AS1/PS1 response to a loss of communications with the PROFIBUS network. (On some occasions, the master side will need to be configured.)
0: Stop and break of connection
The inverter decelerates the motor to a stop and gives the alarm.
Commands entered through the network are canceled, and the commands are set with parameters and become effective.
When communications are restored, the alarm is turned off.
1: None
The inverter remains in the state where it was when the problem arose, and it gives the alarm.
2: Deceleration stop
The inverter decelerates the motor to a stop and gives the alarm. Commands entered through the network are not canceled.
3: Coast stop
The inverter issues a command for a frequency of 0Hz and gives the alarm.
Commands entered through the network are not canceled.
4: Emergency stop
The error message is displayed. Commands entered through the network are not canceled.
When communications are restored, the inverter is not restored to working order and the error message does not disappear until the inverter is reset.
5: Preset speed operation command
Refer to Section 5.2

5.2. : Preset speed operation selection

If the communication loss action (parameter ) is set to 5 (preset speed command), the VF-AS1/PS1 will run at a preset speed as set up by this parameter in the case of a communication loss (with alarm). Commands entered through the network are not canceled.

For example,
If the inverter is set as described below,
= 5 (preset speed operation command)
= 8 (preset speed operation frequency 8)
(preset speed operation frequency 8) = 10 (10Hz)

The operation is carried out as follows.

Network	Operation of the VF-AS1/PS1
Normal conditions	Operates according to commands entered through the network.
↓	↓
communications loss	Operates at 10Hz.
↓	↓
Restoration	Operates according to commands entered through the network.

5.3. : PPO TYPE Setting
The PPO type of PDP002Z is set up by this parameter.
The PROFIBUS-DP protocol uses so-called PPOs (Parameter/Process Data Objects) in cyclic communication. The figures below show the PPO types and configurations that the PDP002Z supports.

PKW： Parameter ID/value
PZD： Process Data, cyclically transferred
PKE： Parameter ID (1st and 2nd octet)
IND： Sub-index (3rd octet), 4th octet is reserved
PWE： Parameter value (5th until 8th octet)
STW： Control word
HSW： Main setpoint
ZSW： Status word
HIW： Main actual value

* The response time of VF-AS1 to the command of PROFIBUS-DP needs about 10ms.

PROFIBUS Local/Remote Operation

The example below shows how to configure the VF-AS1/PS1 for local/remote operations.
<Terminal function>
F terminal ………… RUN command
R terminal………… PROFIBUS/Local (Terminal in this example) switching
RR/S4 terminal… Operation frequency command
<Wiring>

<Parameter setting>
(command mode selection) = 0 (terminal board)
(frequency setting mode selection 1) = 2 (RR/S4)
(input terminal selection 2 (R)) = 48 (PROFIBUS/Local control)

<Operation>
R-CC terminal open:
VF-AS1/PS1 is controlled as slave device of PROFIBUS.
R-CC terminal closed:
F-CC terminal short to RUN
F-CC terminal open to STOP
The output frequency is set up by the RR/S4 signal input.
