Double click on the slave module and set as shown below, the FDL Address will depend on what station number has been set on the slave, these should be the same number.

In the slave parameter settings window click on Select Modules and in the following window select the PPO type required, in this example PPO type 1 is selected, click OK once selection has been made.

Technical reference documentation. Mapping.

There are 2 methods for mapping; data can be mapped using dedicated instructions or it can be mapped using I/O mapping in GX Configurator DP.

PLC program.
In the following, references will be made to the certain areas of the PLC program, to help find these areas they have been highlighted in the image below.

Technical reference documentation. PLC program using dedicated instructions.

Click on the body of MAIN_PRG_LD, the following code has been written.

The code above initiates the startup sequence, start the data transfer and transfers data using the dedicated instructions, explained on pages 7 and 8. A simple function block has been created (DP_INV_CONT) to control the inverter, the following program shows the contents of the function block. NB: It is important that either I/O mapping OR Dedicated instructions are selected NOT both.

Technical reference documentation. PLC program using I/O mapping.

: - Only used for mapping using I/O mapping in GX Configurator DP

The example program shown above is the same as the previous program except this program does not Use the dedicated instruction for reading and writing data as this is configured in the GX Configurator DP software as previously shown. NB: It is important that either I/O mapping OR Dedicated instructions are selected NOT both.

Technical reference documentation. Contents of function block (DP_INV_CONT).

Click on the Body of DP_INV_CONT to view the contents of the control function block as shown below.

The HEX values shown create a binary bit pattern in the inverter for control in STW (TO_INVERTER[5]) word number 5 of PPO1. The value in the variable FREQ is sent to HSW (TO_INVERTER[6]) word number 6 of PPO1, this is where the set frequency is set in the inverter. For more details of the PPO types see pages 16 and 17.
