9.5 Communication Interface

9.5 Communication Interface
The control provides a means for drives to be directly connected to several industry standard PLC
communication networks. A detailed description of the network capabilities is defined in
the NXGpro Communication Manual. A summary of the networks and their associated
capabilities are provided in the following subsections.
9.5.1

Available Networks

The control supports the following industry standard PLC networks:
• Modbus™
• Modbus™ Ethernet
• Profibus™
• Ethernet / IP
• DeviceNet™
• ControlNet™
9.5.2

Multiple Networks

The control allows you to operate two independent network interfaces at one time, where both
can monitor the drive, but only one can control the drive. The networks do not need to be
identical. Each can map data separately.
The ability to provide two networks is not implemented as a redundant or dual interface. The
VFD provides a means to use two separate ports and you can define which of the ports to use to
control the VFD. Switchover from one network port to the other is implemented via the SOP.
