Emerson PLC Communication Program Design in Frequency Converter Network Control

Introduction With the continuous development of PLC technology, more and more show its powerful core control functions, the connection between PLC and other devices has been more and more popular simple and advanced communication methods from the more cumbersome traditional I/O methods. The transition not only saves the designer a lot of hardware costs, but also provides the possibility of remote control and networking, making the control system more seamless.

This article mainly uses Emerson PLC and several inverter network communication (using MODBUS protocol) as an example to illustrate the design method of network control communication program for PLC and multiple inverters.

A brief introduction of MODBUS protocol

The Modbus protocol is proposed by the famous MODICON company in the United States. Through this protocol, controllers can communicate with each other and between controllers via a network (such as Ethernet) and other devices. Control devices produced by different manufacturers can be connected into an industrial network. Centralized monitoring, it has become a common industry standard. Controller communication uses master-slave technology, ie only one device (master) can initiate transmission (query). Other devices (slave devices) respond accordingly to the data provided by the master device query. Typical master devices: IPC, HMI, PLC, etc.; typical slave devices: various instruments, PLCs, frequency converters, etc. The master device can communicate with the slave devices individually, and it can also communicate with all slave devices by broadcasting. If communicating alone, a message is returned from the device as a response, and if it is broadcasted, no response is made. The Modbus protocol establishes the format of the master device query and slave device response: device (or broadcast) address, function code, all data to be sent, and error detection domain. Modbus protocol supports both RTU mode and ASCII mode. The corresponding frame format of RTU mode is as follows: (The ASCII mode is omitted.)

For a more detailed explanation, please refer to the relevant information of the MODBUS protocol (or visit the website).

Second, Emerson PLC integrated MODBUS protocol function

Emerson EC20 series PLC communication port COM 1 integrates the MODBUS master protocol. When programming, it is first set in the system block of the programming software as follows: System block -> "Communication port" menu -> "Communication port 1 parameter setting" Menu -> Select "MODBUS Protocol" -> "MODBUS Setup" -> to set the communication parameters and (main mode) station number.

Then use the MODBUS instruction to program -----------MODBUS (S1) (S2) (S3) The meaning of each parameter is as follows:

S1 designated communication channel;

S2 send data start address;

S3 receive data start address;

During the sending of the MODBUS instruction, the required start character, the end character and the checksum are automatically added. The data to be sent does not need to set the length of the sent data. The system will automatically send the length set in the system according to the function code. .

2 important communication flags: SM135-- MODBUS communication success flag, set upon successful communication, will not be automatically reset, so a reset is required when sending data; SM136-MODBUS communication error flag, communication error (Including no response from the device) is set, it will not be automatically reset, so a reset should be performed when receiving data;


Third, Emerson inverter communication protocol


Emerson's EV series inverters are integrated with the MODBUS protocol, and provide RS232C and RS485 communication ports for users to choose, so the PLC and inverter communication method is relatively simple and economical to complete the control, and it appears that the system is relatively high-grade, the following briefly describes its protocol:

1. Support MODBUS RTU and ASCII format;

2. Parameter MODBUS protocol address mapping rules: The function code parameters, control parameters and status parameters of the inverter are mapped to Modbus read and write registers. The group number of the inverter function code is mapped to the high byte of the register address, and the group index is mapped to the low byte of the register address. The inverter's control parameters and status parameters are virtual inverter function code groups. The corresponding relationship between the function code group number and its mapped register address high byte is as follows: F0 group: 0x00, F1 group: 0x01, F2 group: 0x02, F3 group: 0x03, F4 group: 0x04, F5 group: 0x05, F6 group: 0x06; F7 group: 0x07; F8 group: 0x08; F9 group: 0x09; FA group: 0x0A; Fb group: 0x0B; FC group: 0x0C; Fd group: 0x0D; FE group: 0x0E; FF group: 0x0F; FH group: 0x10; FL group: 0x11; Fn group: 0x12; FP group: 0x13; FU group: 0x14; inverter control parameter group: 0x32; inverter status parameter group: 0x33. For example, the register address of the inverter function code parameter F3.02 is 0x302, and the register address of the inverter function code parameter FF.01 is 0xF01.

3. The supported function codes are as follows:

function code

Function code meaning

0x03

Read the function code parameter and running status parameter of the inverter

0x06

Rewrite single inverter function code or control parameter, do not save after power off

0x08

Line diagnosis

0x10

Rewrite multiple inverter function codes or control parameters, do not save after power off

0x41

Rewrite single inverter function codes or control parameters, save after power off

0x42

Functional code management

4. Please refer to the Emerson inverter user manual for the specific protocol description.



Fourth, program flow chart

The message inquiry commands from the master device to the slave devices are mainly divided into two major categories, continuous command sequences and random command sequences.


Continuous command sequence: The command sequence that the master device needs to send to the slave device regularly or continuously. It is characterized by periodicity and continuity. For example, the PLC reads the running frequency command and the running status command from the inverter.

Random command sequence: The command sequence that the master device sends to the slave device from time to time or randomly. It is characterized by irregularity, randomness, such as PLC start-stop control of the inverter, rewriting of frequency or other parameters.

V. List of procedures: (subroutines and main programs)

This procedure mainly introduces a simple example of communication control of three sets of inverters (slave numbers 2, 3, and 4) by an EC20 PLC (as a master station) according to the MODBUS protocol network. In this example:

The continuous command sequence includes the reading of the operating frequencies of frequency converters 2, 3, and 4;

The random command sequence includes command operations for starting, stopping, and changing frequencies for frequency converters 2, 3, and 4;


1) The list of “converter forward rotation” subroutines is as follows:

Six, program description:

When the routine is designed, it actually stays in the gap of continuous command sequence switching for 100 MS. This means that the continuous sequence in the program is intermittent; if you want to use a non-intermittent continuous sequence, remove the intermediate delay part. Now.

VII. Conclusion

The method of logical processing of the communication sequence described in this routine has been practically applied in some of the author's projects, and the results have also achieved the expected assumptions. The operation is relatively stable. This method of PLC communication through multiple inverters is used in practical applications. There is a great reference value, not only can make full use of the hardware resources of EMERSON PLC and inverter to achieve the purpose of cost savings, but also easier to integrate the entire system.
