Inverter VACON NXP RS232 and Flexy205 with FLA3301 RS card... - MarTre - 24-07-2020

Dear all.


Maybe someone got expirience with using RS232 port in inverter VACON NXP  series and passing communication via eVCOM and RS expansion card in Flexy205?

I think, I was trying almost every combination. 
Ofcourse RS232 connection when I conectec to PC works fine, and I'm able to establish communication by dedicated NC Drive software.

Thank  You from above for any response.

Hi,

What firmware do you use ? 14.2, the latest one ?
If yes, have you played with the VCOMTempo Parameter (try to set it to 1,2 or 3). See https://hmsnetworks.blob.core.windows.net/www/docs/librariesprovider10/downloads-monitored/manuals/knowledge-base/kb-0050-00-en-ewon-comcfg-txt.pdf?sfvrsn=a03857d7_13

You can also enable the serial debugging to see if you see request and response at leas... if not maybe a cabling/hardware issue ?

Thanks for feedback Simon.


Yes, I using the newest version 14.2s0.

Cable it is original delivery from VACON. I tested by RS232 in my laptop - works normally and allow me to download data from inverter.
Danfoss (they buyout VACON) support told me, that NXP inverters are on market form 10+ years, and this build in RS232 can be tricky to use with converter or virtualCOMs.

I will make additional test. If I can't handle, I will try use Tibbo converter.

Hello all.
Fast updated.
I fail with connect via RS232 with NXP, but I use vacon optci card with MODBUS TCP. (there is new one card also with more protocols).
One more thing to note. Need to setup same timeout in NXP parameters and NC Drive software. Need to edit manually config for app.
Anyway NXP series tested- can be parameterized via eWon .I tested Cosy131 and Flexy205.

My config for NC Drive and in att. pdf info.
Code:
[HMI]
Port=100
SerialBaudRate=9600
LastComPort=6
AckTimeOut = 2000
TimeOut = 10000
[Misc]
ShowSignalHelp=1
LogSelect=7
LogLevel=15
LogBufferSize=10
GLBFile=
