How to connect a ethernet/ip powerflex VFD to PLCNext 1152

EdelToro9410

Hello,

Is anyone know a link, pdf, video tutorial to add or link a device through ethernet?

I.E.

I have a PLCnext device 1152 with Ethernet/IP and i'd like to connect two VFDs in the same network and control through my PLC.

Thanks to all for your feedback.

Regards.

Hello!

As I know, PLCNext controller can operate as slave Ethernet/IP device not Master.

Hello EdelToro9410,

I agree with Olexandr's answer, currently only the Ethernet/IP-Slave functionality will be supported by PLCnext Runtime/PLCnextEngineer. Please find the additinal information under following links:

System variables - EtherNetIP (plcnext.help)

Overview to the Web-based Management on PLCnext Control | Getting started with PLCnext Engineer (youtube.com)

If you need the Ethernet IP master functionality, the solution can be to use our PLCnext controler with Codesys runtime:

PLCnext Store | CODESYS Control for PLCnext SL

PLCnext Store | CODESYS libraries
