1.4 Set the IP-address OPT-E9

Starting form approx. June 2016 we are using the OPT-E9. This card can easily be recognized by 2 ports. You can use name assignement like with a Sinamics CU.

• open HW-configuration
• mark the Profinet master system
• PLC => Ethernet => Verify Device Name
• check list / press button assign name
• select the correct name / select the device with type OPTE9 if you have more compare MAC address
• hit button assign name

now you should see in the verify list a green check mark, if not restart control unit of Vacon.

1.5 obsolete: Set the IP-address OPT-CP (up to approx. June 2016)

• Look, that you are connected into the Line-Network!
• Note the MAC address of the OPT-CP card. There is a sticker on the network socket:

• Open NCIPConfig and select Configuration --> Scan

Template:Notice bms 

File:Vacon NcIpConfig Scan Menu.png

• The Scan result should look somehow like the following picture:

File:Vacon NcIpConfig Configuration.png

• Check if the if latest version is installed on option card (e.g. Software: 10530.7)

A latest version is store at: e.g. Template:PathUncPublicdrives\Vacon\Option\OPTCP_105030V006.vcn

If not, update the option card software (see capter OPTCP Profinet card update (Option Card) )

• Change fields according to your needs and execute Configuration/Configure.

Node	Mac	IP	SubnetMask	Gateway	...
nxc272m1se11a010	xx xx xx xx xx	10.XX.YY.63	255.255.255.0	10.XX.YY.190
Same name like in the Hardwareconfig.	Is given	IP from Hardwareconfig	always	Firewall IP

XXYY = Kom number

• Make sure that the checkbox in front of Node name is checked and press “Configure”
• Confirm the following message box with Yes:

File:Vacon NcIpConfig SendConfig.png

If you trigger an other scan the data should appear again as entered. The information is stored in a remanent memory.

• Power off/on the option card one time after configuration is done.
• Slave should appear in hardware configuration of S7 as present, and there should be a respond if you ping the IP-address.

1.6 Parameter Download

Open NCDrive and set the online interface to TCP/IP if not already selected:

File:Vacon NCDrive Options.png

File:Vacon NCDrive Communication Setting.png

With some system software there might be problems: Check if you can see on the small Vacon operator panel (Where you connect normaly with the serial cable) of the drive a “startup wizard”. Exit this wizard, otherwise there might be connection problems --> Press up (don't press enter).

Check again:

• Switch off the 24V with F3
• Switch on again
• On the display is written "startup wizard, press enter"
• press any other button as enter

Otherwise connection should be fine.

Select the active drive:

File:Vacon NCDrive SelectDriveActive.png

Press “Add IP address to list”. Repeate this procedure for every drive. Mark one drive in the list “Drives:” on the right hand side you will see some “Drive Details:” if the drive is recognized correctly. Press the button “Set Active Drive” and the system turns bold. You will see the address in the lower left corner of NCDrive window (this is the selected communication partner).

Copy the application to the directory if not done already: (normally done at Section before) C:\NCEngine\Applications\Brueckner Or create the directory if it does not exist. The application is located at: Template:PathUncPublicdrives\Vacon\Application

If the offline application file is not found it takes a few minutes because the application will be generated (this is not recommended, you will loose some symbolic information):
