USER.INT#

Description

Set of scratchpad variables to use for read and write. There are 10 independent variables (USER.INT1, …, USER.INT10),

USER.INT# is non-volatile. It is saved to and restored from the drive’s parameter configuration using DRV.NVSAVE and DRV.NVLOAD. This property allows USER.INT# to store application state in the drive across a power cycle or reset.

USER.INT# can be selected as an Action Table source by setting Action Source 23 (User Variable) with Source Parameter set to the variable ID. Because USER.INT# is non-volatile, edge-triggered tasks cannot rely on the User Variable source having a value of 0 at power-up. The corresponding USER.INT# value needs to be reset before setting it to the Condition Value that triggers the action. A best practice for edge-triggered actions is to first set USER.INT# to the Condition Value, then to 0, so that subsequent NV save operations leave the drive in a deterministic state.

Examples

Usage

Trigger Action over ModbusClosed ModBus is a serial communications protocol and is now the most commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. ModBus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Versions of the ModBus protocol exist for serial port and Ethernet (it is widely used with TCP/IP over Ethernet).

Fieldbus Information

FieldbusClosed A Fieldbus is an industrial network system for real-time distributed control (e.g. CAN or Profibus). It is a way of connecting instruments in a plant design Parameter Index Sub-Index Data Type Float Scale Units Access PDOClosed PDO is a type of protocol frame used in some fieldbuses. A PDO contains one or more object dictionary entries, which define the application data transferred between devices. Mappable
EtherCATClosed ***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs COE and CANopen - 4100h 1-10 INT - - RW False
