Click to GS2 Ramping with RS485
Hi there Guys,
Busy building a new machine, always used digital outputs from plc to cw and ccw my motors on a gs2, however this project wanting to use rs485 to control my motor,
I understand that i need to use the 402331 to set the speed, an 402332 to run the motor, will the vsd still ramp up and down with the ramp parameters set? hoping i don't need to ramp the speeds in click ladder... have not got everything connected yet so cant test this...
thanks
Vincent
Yes, depending on how it's set up, the drive can ramp according to the accel/decel times. You could also do it in ladder if you want.

Hi Vincent,
Here is a sample program that will communicate a Click to a Solo Temperature controller via Modbus RTU RS485.

Although this is not a drive, the process would be similar for communication.

I hope this helps you out.

When operating a motor serially, it is important to look at parameter 9.03. How do you want the drive to operate if it loses communication with the PLC? The default is the drive continues to run. Is that safe in your application? I always set the parameter to 01, as I feel it safer, and give indication "if" there is a communication issue.
Just my 2-cents.
