  • Page 17: Introduction

    Introduction present document describes VABus/TCP protocol CM-VABus/TCP CM-VABus/TCP-2P (switch function integrated) communication modules. After connecting VABus/TCP to the PLC, you can use an additional logic connection from VABus/TCP to the VPlus software running on a terminal connected via an Ethernet network. For VABus/TCP connection, the frequency inverter must be equipped with the CM-VABus/TCP or CM- VABus/TCP-2P communication module.
  • Page 18 #17220 of the frequency inverter. The response of the frequency inverter is sent by 17220 to this port of the PLC. VPlus is the software for configuration and maintenance of BONFIGLIOLI VECTRON frequency invert- ers. It can connect with a frequency inverter while it is communicating with a PLC. VPlus can establish connections to any type of industrial Ethernet CM modules.

  • Page 24: Vabus/Tcp Interface

    VABus/TCP interface The frequency inverter can be controlled by a PLC or another master device via an Ethernet interface using the VABus/TCP protocol. When a VABus/TCP or VABus/TCP-2P communication module is used, you can also access the fre- quency inverter using the VPlus software via Ethernet. VPlus can be used in parallel with a PLC with VABus/TCP communication.

    8.1.4 System bus Node-ID The System Bus 900 is required for addressing networked inverters. If there is no System Node-ID Bus, or if the System Bus master is addressed, the SYS character is always filled with the zero character (0x30). The 900 has values ranging from 0 to 63.
  • Page 39 The addresses in a System Bus branch must be assigned unambiguously. Since several System Bus branches can operated independently due to the different Ethernet clients, identical System Bus ad- dresses are possible in the network. The distinction is made based on the different Ethernet address- In the case of VABus, the network address is a serial address ranging from 1 to 127.

    Telegram check The frequency inverter and the bus Master check the telegrams for correctness. Depending on the type of telegram, the corresponding reaction takes place. The telegrams are checked for correct syntax, address and text part (content, checksum). In case the telegram contains errors, the frequency inverter either returns NAK or it does not re- spond at all.
