  • Ethernet Embedded: https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/download/document/ATV900_Ethernet_Embedded_EDS/

Basic Settings

• Program Communication Settings:
  • ​[Communication] [Comm parameters] [Ethernet Embd] Config submenu
    • [IP Mode Ether. Embd]
    • [IP address]
    • [Mask]
    • [Gateway]

      • ​[Modbus Address]
      • [Bd.RateModbus]
      • [Modbus Format]
      • [Modbus Timeout]​​​
  • • To read/write directly to individual 4x registers you will need to set a Modbus Address in the drive. 
      • The Modbus Address should match your Unit ID on PLC (Typically that is Unit ID of 1)
    • When using the IO scanner input/output tables you will need to use a Unit ID of 255
      • Set [Modbus Address] to 0

Commanding the Drive

• Using IO Profile characteristics:
  • [Complete Settings] [Command and Reference] [Control Mode] - Set to "IO"
  • Command Word - 8501
  • 16 bit word (Bit 0, 1, 2..... 15)
  • Start/Stop must turn on bit 0 (first bit)
    • Write a 1 to start
    • Write a 0 to stop
  • Bit 1 to 15 are assignable to other drive functions like Fault Reset
  • Speed Reference
  • Speed Reference Word:
    • 8502 (Hz) and 8602 (rpm)
• Using CIA402 (DriveCom Profile) characteristics:
  • Works with all assemblies
  • [Control Mode] to [Not separ.] or [Separate]
  • Command Word - 8501
  • No 16 bit word
  • Start/Stop​
    • Drive will display nSt on top left corner.
    • A sequence of values must be written to the drive:
      • 6, 7 and 15 decimal values
      • Toggle between 7 and 15 to start and stop
  • Speed Reference
    • Speed Reference Word:
      • 8502 (Hz) and 8602 (rpm)

Issue:
Enabling automatic restart function on the Altivar Process drives

Product Line:
Altivar Process Drive (ATV630, ATV930, ATV650, ATV950, ATV660, ATV960, ATV680, ATV980)

Environment:
All Products of Altivar Process Drive 

Cause:
Automatic restart after fault.

Resolution:
Automatic restart will only work if the drive is being controlled from the terminal strip in 2 wire control (will not work in HMI mode or while using Serial Communication) IF the fault is resettable AND the run command is maintained.

Go into Complete Settings, Command and reference, and set 2 wire type to level control.
Go into Complete Settings, Error/Warning Handling, Auto fault reset, and set auto fault reset to yes.
The drive will attempt to reset the fault for the length of time programmed in the Fault Reset Time parameter (default is 5 minutes) as long as the run command remains present on the drive.

It is also advisable to enable to Catch on the Fly in case the motor is already spinning when the drive restarts. (Complete Settings -> Error/Warning Handling)


Conditions that have to be met:
Must be in 2 wire control with run command present.
The automatic restart function has to be enabled.
The condition that caused fault code has to have been resolved.  

The lists of fault codes that can be cleared automatically are listed in the ATV600 Programming Manual and ATV900 Programming Manual.
