Drive configuration

The following information applies to all drive types compatible with
the adapter module, unless otherwise stated.

EtherCAT connection configuration

After the adapter module has been mechanically and electrically
installed according to the instructions in chapters Mechanical
installation and Electrical installation, the drive must be prepared
for communication with the module.
The detailed procedure of activating the module for EtherCAT
communication with the drive depends on the drive type. Normally,
a parameter must be adjusted to activate the communication. See
the drive-specific start-up procedures starting on page 41.
When the adapter module is connected to a specific drive type for
the first time, it scans through all the drive parameter groups to
allow the EtherCAT master to access the parameters starting via
CoE objects. This scanning procedure may take up to one minute
depending on the drive type. The adapter module does not
respond to the EtherCAT bus during the scanning procedure. As
long as the adapter module is connected to a drive of the same
type and version, there is no need to scan through all the drive
parameters again at start-up.
Once communication between the drive and the adapter module
has been established, several configuration parameters are copied
to the drive. These parameters are shown in the tables below and
must be checked first and adjusted where necessary.
Note: Not all drives display descriptive names for the configuration
parameters. To help you identify the parameters in different drives,
the names displayed by each drive are given in grey boxes in the
tables.
Note: The new settings take effect only when the adapter module
is powered up the next time or when the fieldbus adapter refresh
parameter is activated.
