GPD-333-Configuration-with-Net-Manager

The Yaskawa part number GPD-333-Configuration-with-Net-Manager serves as an AC drive configuration, tailored for applications integrating within the DeviceNet network architecture. This configuration is designated to operate as a slave, permitting it to connect to a network master, like the 1747-SDN or 1771-SDN scanner devices. The node address can be adjusted conveniently using DIP switches located on the drive itself, simplifying initial setup.

The communication operates in a polled I/O mode, ensuring efficient data exchange between network components. The PCA assembly configuration is set at 21, offering enhanced speed control capabilities. For monitoring conditions and operational status, the PPA assembly is configured at 71. The I/O byte size is defined based on the PCA and PPA byte count.

Operational timing also plays a crucial role; the minimum poll time must exceed the execution times of both PCA and PPA to ensure proper functionality. Users can select between scan modes—either 'Every Scan' or 'Background Scan'—providing flexibility based on operational requirements. Additionally, the Net Manager allows the configurability of interscan delays optimizing network performance during scanning processes.

To facilitate network management, the scan list settings can enable active and polled flags appropriately. Upon executing the enter command, the configuration is saved directly into the EEPROM, ensuring settings are retained. The configuration requires tools such as RSNetWorx along with EDS file support for complete functionality and integration into control systems.
