They must read this safety information and this guide carefully. Product Design The Profinet Module allows a Nidec soft starter to connect to an Ethernet network and be controlled or monitored using an Ethernet communication model. Separate modules are available for Profinet, Modbus TCP and Ethernet/IP networks.
1. Remove control power and mains supply from the soft starter. 2. Disconnect all external wiring from the module. 3. Fully pull out the top and bottom retaining clips on the module. 4. Pull the module away from the soft starter. Profinet Module: User Guide Issue: B www.nidec.com...
Soft Starter Connection The Profinet Module is powered from the soft starter. Digistart D2: For the Profinet Module to accept fieldbus commands, a link must be fitted across terminals CSL-DI2 on the soft starter. The Profinet Module is not suitable for use with Digistart D2 starters using 380/440 Vac control voltage.
MAC address. • The module must be assigned a static IP address (see Ethernet Device Configuration Tool on page 8), or can be assigned an IP address by the master via DCP. The Profinet Module does not support DHCP addressing. •...
Device Configuration To permanently configure attributes in the Profinet Module, use the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool and untick "Store settings temporary". The Error LED flashes whenever the module is receiving power but is not connected to a NOTE network. The Error LED will flash throughout the configuration process.

7. To set a static IP address, click Configure then select Set IP address. 8. To configure a device name, click Configure then select Device Name. Profinet Module: User Guide Issue: B www.nidec.com...
Operation The Profinet Module has been designed for use in a system complying with the Profinet standard. For successful operation, the controller must also support all functions and interfaces described in this document. Device Classification The Profinet Module is a Profinet IO-Device and must be managed by an IO-Controller over Ethernet.
Ensuring Safe and Successful Control Data written to the Profinet Module will remain in its registers until the data is overwritten or the module is reinitialised. The Profinet Module will not transfer successive duplicate commands to the soft starter.

Parameter Management (Read/write) The Profinet Module can read parameter values from and write parameter values to the soft starter. The module handles one parameter at a time. The module references parameters according to their position in the starter's parameter list.
Figure 7-1 Star network topology Line Topology In a line network, the controller connects directly to one port of the first Profinet Module. The second Ethernet port of the Profinet Module connects to another module, which in turn connects to another module until all devices are connected.
Ring Topology In a ring topology network, the controller connects to the first Profinet Module, via a network switch. The second Ethernet port of the Profinet Module connects to another module, which in turn connects to another module until all devices are connected. The final module connects back to the switch.
