INSTRUCTIONS

2.3 Network establishment


The controller must establish communications directly with each device before the
device can participate in the network.

2.4 Addressing
Each device in a network is addressed using a MAC address and an IP address.
• The device can be assigned a static IP address during configuration, or can be
configured to accept a dynamic IP address (via DHCP).
• The MAC address is fixed within the device and is printed on a label on the front of
the device.

3. Device configuration
NOTE
The Error LED flashes whenever the device is receiving power but is not
connected to a network. The Error LED will flash occasionally during the
configuration process.
NOTE
At power-up, the card loads the IP address stored in the soft starter.

3.1 Configuration methods


Network communication parameters for the card can be set via the soft starter or via
the on-board web server.
• The card uses a static IP address by default. To enable DHCP addressing, set
parameter 12T DHCP to ‘Enable’ or change the setting via the on-board web server.
• The IP address can be configured via the soft starter's programmable parameters.
• The web server can configure the IP address and messaging settings for MQTT or
OPC UA operation.

INSTRUCTIONS

4. PLC configuration
The PLC must be configured to map registers within the device to addresses within the
PLC.

The device must be configured directly in the PLC. No additional files are required.

5. Ground fault protection


NOTE
Ground fault protection is only available on ground fault enabled cards, with
soft starters running a compatible version of software. Contact your supplier
for assistance.

5.1 Overview
The Modbus TCP Card can detect ground current and trip before the equipment is
damaged.
Ground fault protection requires a 1000:1 or 2000:1 current transformer (not supplied).
The CT should be rated 1 VA or 5 VA. The soft starter can be configured to trip at 1
A~50 A. If ground fault current rises above 50 A, the soft starter will trip immediately.
Parameter 40C Ground Fault Trip Active selects when ground fault protection is active.

5.2 Connect the CT to the ground fault inputs


To use ground fault protection, a common mode current transformer (CT) must be
installed around all three phases. Use a 1000:1 or 2000:1 CT with rating of 1 VA or 5 VA
and set parameter 40E Ground Fault CT Ratio to match. Connect the CT to the ground
fault terminals (G1, G2, G3).
For maximum protection, the CT should be installed on the input side of the soft
starter.

INSTRUCTIONS

5.3 Configure ground fault protection settings


Ground fault protection settings must be set in the soft starter.
Parameter Parameter name Description
40A Ground Fault Sets the trip point for ground fault protection.
Level
40B Ground Fault Slows the Modbus TCP Card's response to ground fault
Delay variation, avoiding trips due to momentary fluctuations.
40C Ground Fault Selects when a ground fault trip can occur.
Trip Active
40D Ground Fault Selects the soft starter's response to the protection
Action event.
40E Ground Fault CT Set to match the ratio of the ground current measuring
Ratio CT.

6. Operation
The Modbus TCP Card must be controlled by a Modbus client (such as a PLC) which
complies with the Modbus Protocol Specification. For successful operation, the client
must also support all functions and interfaces described in this document.

NOTE
The available features and parameter details may vary according to the model
and software version of the starter. Refer to the soft starter user manual for
details of parameters and supported features.

6.1 Device classification


The Modbus TCP Card is a Modbus server and must be managed by a Modbus client
over Ethernet.

6.2 Ensuring safe and successful control


Data written to the device will remain in its registers until the data is overwritten or
the device is reinitialised.
If the soft starter may be controlled via Command Override (parameter 7A) or may be
disabled via the reset input (terminals 10, 11) fieldbus commands should be cleared
from the registers. If a command is not cleared, it will be re-sent to the starter once
fieldbus control resumes.

7.2 Parameter management


Parameters can be read from and written to the starter. When writing parameters to
the soft starter, every parameter will be updated to match the values in the PLC.

NOTE
While parameters are being written, the starter cannot start/stop the motor.
The Modbus TCP protocol limits read/write operations to a maximum of 123 registers
at one time. The registers must be consecutive.

To avoid loss of communications due to an unintentional change of network


configuration, write the network address parameter settings before writing start/stop
parameter settings.

When writing parameters to the soft starter, we recommend the following procedure:
1. Configure all soft starter parameter values in the PLC as required, including IP
address, Gateway Address, Subnet Mask and DHCP configuration.
2. Write the parameter block that includes the network parameter settings from the
PLC to the soft starter.
3. Write the other parameter blocks from the PLC to the starter until all parameter
values have been written.
NOTE
For reliable operation, the parameter block containing network configuration
settings must be written first.

7.4 Legacy mode


The Modbus TCP Card can also operate in Legacy Mode, which uses the same
registers as the clip-on Modbus RTU Module, supplied by AuCom for use with older
soft starters. Some registers differ from those specified in the Modbus Protocol
Specification.

Initialising Legacy Mode


If the card has been operating in Standard Mode, it must be reset before
communicating in Legacy Mode. To initialise the card for Legacy Mode, either:
• cycle control power or
• reset register 40001 to zero (write zero to bits 0~15)

Registers
NOTE
Legacy Mode reports read-only status information in registers 40003 onwards,
to match the register definitions of the clip-on Modbus Module for use with
older soft starters. Identical data is also available via registers 30003 onwards.

8.1 Star topology


In a star network, all controllers and devices connect to a central network switch.

14697.A
8.2 Line topology
In a line network, the controller connects directly to one port of the first device. The
second Ethernet port connects to another device, which in turn connects to another
device until all devices are connected.
14695.A

NOTE
The device has an integrated switch to allow data to pass through in line
topology. The device must be receiving control power from the soft starter
for the switch to operate.
NOTE
If the connection between two devices is interrupted, the controller cannot
communicate with devices after the interruption point.
NOTE
Each connection adds a delay to communication with the next device.
The maximum number of devices in a line network is 32. Exceeding this
number may reduce the reliability of the network.

8.3 Ring Topology


In a ring topology network, the controller connects to the first card, via a network
switch. The second Ethernet port of the card connects to another device, which in turn
connects to another device until all devices are connected. The final device connects
back to the switch.
The device supports beacon based ring node configuration.

14696.A
NOTE
The network switch must support loss of line detection.

8.4 Combined topologies


A single network can include both star and line components.
