  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    Always use a multimeter to make sure that there are no parts under voltage in reach. The impedance of the multimeter must be at least 1 Mohm. Avoidance of electrostatic discharges VFD-GATEWAY devices and equipment are sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Observe the following rules when handling the VFD-GATEWAY: •...

    — 2. Installation Contents of this chapter This chapter describes the installation and wiring of the VFD-GATEWAY, showing how to mount the device and where the power/communications connections are made. 2.1 Mounting the VFD-GATEWAY DIN rail according to DIN EN 50022 35 mm, depth 7.5 mm or 15 mm: Mounting with screws M3 (see Appendix for hole fixing dimensions): Note: TA543 option (not included) is ordered separately from the VFD-GATEWAY.
  • Page 6 The maximum length for an Ethernet segment on twisted pair media is 100 meters. The VFD-GATEWAY supports twisted pair as the physical media in a star topology. All twisted pair media between the Ethernet node and the switch or router must be shorter than 100 meters, including media within patch panels.
  • Page 7 120 Ω ¼ W is required at both line ends of the Modbus-RTU network The VFD-GATEWAY has Built in 120 Ω resistor that is enabled from the factory; the VFD-GATEWAY must be at the beginning/end of the network at not mid-network.
  • Page 8 Ensure the VFD-GATEWAY is turned off. Press the tab on the side of the module and pull up on the module to remove it from the VFD-GATEWAY: After it is removed, turn the top dip-switches off. They are currently in the on position from the factory.
  • Page 9 Use shielded twisted-pair cable with a twisted pair for data and a wire or another pair for signal ground (nominal impedance 100 to 165 ohm, for example Belden 9842) for the wiring. For best immunity, ABB recommends high quality cable. Keep the cable as short as possible.

Note: Use either EDS File or Generic module DO NOT USE BOTH Step 4 : Next populate the required generic module fields per below and press OK.
  • Page 17 Step 5: Using the EDS file Search for ABB VFD-GATEWAY and select create. EDS file will need to be installed into the PLC software, to be se- lected. (Note: the EDS file MUST be installed through EDS hardware installation tool before it is available to use.) Note: Use either EDS File or Generic module DO NOT USE BOTH Step 6 : On the next screen, give the module a name and enter the VFD-GATEWAY’s IP address.

  • Page 20 3.9 Configuring the VFD-GATEWAY Web browser interface This chapter describes the how to configure the VFD-GATEWAY using the VFD-Gateway’s’ built in web browser configuration pages. Step 1: Connect and power up: Connect your Ethernet cable, Modbus wiring and apply 24VDC power.
  • Page 21 Modbus Node Type for one or each of the 5 drives can be entered in the corresponding Drop-down lists. • The reconnection pause in seconds (default is 1s). This setting controls how often the VFD-Gateway will check for a loss of connection with a Node/drive on the Modbus RTU network. Example, if the value is programmed to 3 seconds and node/drive is powered down, the gateway will check every 3 seconds for this node/drive.
  • Page 22 Apply changes by (1) checking the ‘Ready to apply’ button/check box, then (2) Apply setting button: The VFD-GATEWAY will perform a restart (communication will be lost) and the web interface will need to be reconnected with the new IP address.
