4 Control
4.1 PPO Types
The PROFIBUS prole for frequency converters species a
number of communication objects (parameter process data
objects, PPO). The PROFIBUS prole for frequency
converters is suitable for data exchange between a process
controller (for example PLC) and a frequency converter. All
PPOs are dened for cyclic data transfer (DP-V0) for
transferring process data (PCD) and parameters (PCA) from
the master to the slave, and conversely.
Pure process data objects
PPO types 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are pure process data objects
for applications requiring no cyclic parameter access. The
PLC sends out process control data, and the frequency
converter then responds with a PPO of the same length,
containing process status data.
Illustration 4.1 shows the available PPO types:
•
PCD 1: The
rst 2 bytes of the process data area
(PCD 1) comprise a xed part present in all PPO
types.
•
PCD 2: The next 2 bytes are
xed for PCD write
entries (see parameter 9-15 PCD Write Congu-
ration [1]), but congurable for PCD read entries
(see parameter 9-16 PCD Read Conguration [1]).
•
PCD 3–10: In the remaining bytes, the process
data can be parameterized with process signals,
see parameter 9-23 Parameters for Signals.
The setting in parameter 9-15 PCD Write Conguration
determines the signals for transmission (request) from the
master to the frequency converter.
The setting in parameter 9-16 PCD Read Conguration
determines the signals for transmission (response) from the
frequency converter to the master.
Parameter channel and process data
PPO types 1, 2, and 5 consist of a parameter channel and
process data. Use the parameter channel for reading
and/or updating of parameters (successively). Alternatively,
for better utilization of I/O and PLC capacity, access
parameters via DP-V1. To access via DP-V1, select a pure
process data object (PPO type 3, 4, 6, 7, or 8).
Select the PPO type in the master conguration. The
selection is automatically recorded in the frequency
converter. No manual setting of PPO types in the
frequency converter is required. Read the current PPO type
in parameter 9-22 Telegram Selection. The setting [1]
Standard telegram 1 is equivalent to PPO type 3.
In addition, all PPO types can be set up as word-consistent
or module-consistent. The process data area can be word-
or module-consistent, whereas the parameter channel
must always be module-consistent.
•
Word-consistent data is transmitted as individual,
independent words between the PLC and the
frequency converter.
•
Module-consistent data is transmitted as sets of
interrelated words transferred simultaneously
between the PLC and the frequency converter.
