This manual is intended as a supplement to the AFC3000 Hardware Operation Manual and should be

used in conjunction with information provided in that manual. FEC recommends reading that manual

before the contents of this manual (which only applies to systems requiring the optional Ethernet I/P

interface).

Ethernet-I/P

The AFC3000 Ethernet-I/P System conforms to the open field network Ethernet-I/P. Control of tools and

transactions of message information are executed by Ethernet-I/P explicit message communication.

Due to conformance with the open field network Ethernet-I/P System, connections with Ethernet-I/P devices

(master/slave) of other manufacturers are enabled.

Also, remote I/O communication and message communication can be executed at the same time.

* The word No. at the PLC side differs according to the setting of the node address, etc., so please be sure

to confirm before using. Please refer to the AFC3000 Operation Manual, Section 5-3-2 and 5-3-3 for

description of the respective signals.

The allocation of the input signals is fixed (cannot be changed).

The unused area of the inputs is also secured (and cannot be used by other

devices). Be careful of the following points when using the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals. If a certain Unit is to be put in the BYPASS mode, set the corresponding signal

among the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals to “ON” with the START signal of the Unit

being in the “OFF” state and the BUSY signal of the MASTER Spindle for PC

communication and I/O (PLC) control being in the “OFF” state. When fastening is executed with any of the spindle BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals

in the “ON” state, the fastening judgment of that Unit will be ignored as if it does not

exist. Also, when any of the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals is set to “ON” with the BUSY

of the MASTER Spindle being in the “ON” state, the sequence judgment may result

in REJECT.

● 1st Reject (Failure) Item (in common with BCD and ASCII)

Identifies the reason or cause for a fastening that is stopped / interrupted BEFORE reaching the target

torque (or angle) due to a Reject (outside of the programmed limits). (Some programmed limits can cause

the fastening process to stop due to a Reject prior to fastening completion)

Example: A cycle run with a missing fastener will cause a ‘1ST Time High Limit Reject’. A fastener that

reached the Final Angle High Limit setting before reaching Standard Torque will cause a ‘Final Angle High

Limit reject’.

Note: If the fastening reaches the end of the fastening cycle and rejects, no data will be reported in

this data item.

PLC Setting Example

This procedure is written for using Rockwell Automation RXLogix5000 V15.02.00 and Allen Bradley

CompactLogix L32E. If the system is not the same as listed above, setup may be different. Please

contact to PLC manufacturer for detail as each PLC may be different

1. Register MASTER Spindle Fieldbus unit to network

In the PLC I/O configuration, right click on “Ethernet Port Local ENB” and select “New Module”

Select “Generic Ethernet Module” from “module” list and click the OK button.


PAGE 26

Specify “Name” (FEC AFC3000), “IP address”, and “Connection Parameters” that matches the

parameters set to the Fieldbus setup using the AFC3000 User Console software.

Note: Input / Output size MUST match the settings programmed in the Ethernet I/P setting of the

AFC3000 Fieldbus setup or PLC (Ethernet I/P) error will occur.

Click on the “Connection” tab and set connection setup as below.

AFC3000


PAGE 27

When the Master Spindle Fieldbus unit is added to the I/O configuration, the data table will be added

to the controller tags automatically.

AFC3000_2:I (shown as AFC1500 in above screenshot)

Input signals from AFC3000 controller. (FEC to PLC)

AFC1500_2:O (shown as AFC1500 in above screenshot)

Output signals to AFC3000 controller. (PLC to FEC)

AFC1500_2:C (shown as AFC1500 in above screenshot)

Message communication data from the AFC3000 controller. (AXIS to PLC for fastening result data.)

An additional program/command needs to be added for sending/retrieving the data.


PAGE 28

2. Transferring the fastening result data using the MSG function.

For setting up the MESSAGE function, first the AFC3000 needs to be configured for the data type that

needs to be sent to the PLC. Configuration is done in the AFC3000 Userconsole Software. Select

“Field Bus Message Setup” from “Multi” pull down menu.

Select the DATA TYPE format (BCD or ASCII).

Data from the Master (Multi) and Spindle (Axis) must be configured in the table below each tab. The

Multi format contains the “Header” data (such as Date, Time, Sequence #, Cycle Count, etc. – aka data

that comes from the Master Unit) The Axis format contains the actual spindle fastening data (such as

Torque, Angle, Time, Rate, etc.) Right click on the table and select the item from the pop up window

that you wish to be transferred.

(Example of Multi format selection shown above)

Note: Selecting “Null” deletes the item from the list.


PAGE 29

(Example of Axis format selection shown below – this format will be for EACH spindle connected in the

system to the Master Unit)

When the system has more than 1 spindle, the data will be output in spindle sequential order as shown

below. Data from total fastening status (Multi data)

Note: Each message command can only handle 250 bytes. If more than 250 bytes of data needs to

be transferred, another controller tag needs be added (Read_tag) for the buffer and another MSG

command needs be added. The second MSG command should have its “instance” as “2” with its

“Destination” address incremented to the next block of data (250, 500, 750, 1000, etc.) and so on up

to a maximum of 17 for up to 4096 bytes of message data).

The first MSG command has “1” as “Instance” and is sending the data into AFC1500:C[0] memory

block. The second MSG command has “2” as “Instance” and sending the data into another data

memory block AFC1500:C[250] that would have been manually added when the second Read_tag

was added.

Note: All instructions above that show “AFC1500” would be “AFC3000” for the AFC3000 setup.

Note: The above information contained in this procedure are meant for REFERENCE ONLY when

configuring an FEC Ethernet I/P interface using FEC AFC3000 User Console Software, FEC

2. Max. message length: 16words/32 bytes (As configured in AFC3000 Software)

3. Input Example Select ASCII letters to send message information from the PLC to the MASTER Spindle for PC communication and I/O (PLC) control. (Only ASCII Data can be recognized by FEC Master) The message information sent from the PLC to the MASTER Spindle for PC communication and I/O (PLC) control is reflected in the fieldbus communication, the AFC3000 User Console, the Unit RS232C, and the expansion RS232C.

- The standard set value for the ID input data is 32 bytes (16 words). Be careful because even when a value beyond this is set, only the 32 bytes from the start are saved in the fastening result retention of the Unit.

PLC CONFIGURATION – DATA WRITE

A ‘Write_Tag’ needs to be added to the ‘Controller Tags’ for data to be sent from the PLC to the FEC Master

Spindle. (Such as part ID Data) This data when received by the FEC Master spindle will be ‘Married” with

the fastening result data so that the fastening data would now contain the part ID number providing a ‘birth

history’ for the part being fastened.

The “Write_Tag” contains the configuration of the message transfer. A MSG command (Message command

in the PLC logic) must be used in conjunction with a ‘Write_Tag’ to send data. In the case below,

‘VIN_Number_Write’ tag has been setup and configured (following pages)


PAGE 37

Below are the properties which must be setup for the Message Configuration of the Write_Tag.

(Right Click in MSG command)

Message Type CIP Generic

Service Type Get Attribute Single

Service Code 10

Class A2

Instance 1

Attribute 5

Destination The controller tag “VIN_Number” or whatever Write Tag you setup should be selected

Note: The FEC Master spindle will only take a maximum of 32 Bytes for the Write_Tag (Part ID data)

configurable (between 0-32 bytes) in the AFC3000 software for the Fieldbus Message Setup. So an

instance of “1” is all that is required in the above setup for WRITING data using the Message Command.


PAGE 38

PLC Logic Example: Sending Message data to FEC Master Spindle

The MSG message command initiates the message data to be sent or received. The ‘Write” tag sends the

data to the device connected, and the ‘Read’ tag retrieves the data from the connected device.

In the example above, the Write MSG command takes place at or near the start of the machine cycle before

the FEC controller has been issued a START command. (The FEC Master Spindle, can receive the Write

Data any time before the end of the fastening cycle. Once received, the data is buffered and will be used

until new message data is received or the “ID DATA CLEAR” Input signal is enabled (See Input signals).

(The ID data received by the FEC Master Spindle will be married with the fastening data and will continue to

use the same message data it receives until new data is sent or the ID Data Clear signal is turned on. Care

must be taken so data is not recorded with the same ID data in that case)

The “Read” Tag in the example above is shown happening AFTER the FEC fastening is completed. Once

fastening is completed, the MSG Read command can be performed and the fastening result data will be

read into the PLC.
