Connecting the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER to a Modbus TCP network

The following device topology is used in the example:

  • Higher-level Modbus TCP master
  • MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverter, MDD90A double-axis module
  • MOVIDRIVE® modular application inverter, MDA90A single-axis module

The following figure is a schematic representation of the device topology:

MOVIDRIVE® modular axis system

For configuration and startup of the devices, the following tools are used:

  • MOVISUITE® for the devices of the MOVI‑C® modular automation system from SEW‑EURODRIVE
  • MOVISUITE® contains the IEC Editor tool for programming the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER.
  • Higher-level Modbus TCP master for the PLC.

The MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER is integrated into the Modbus TCP network in several process steps:

  • Configuration of the EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS stations
  • Integrate the higher-level Modbus TCP master into the Modbus TCP network
  • Checking the process data transfer
