Fieldbus

This function provides the possibility to control the controller from an external source, such as a PLC, together with the Fieldbus Carrier MT.

Fieldbus Carrier MT only works if the Anybus module inside is supported. Only modules coded with an Atlas Copco unique Provider ID are supported, these can only be purchased from Atlas Copco, if the module is purchased from Atlas Copco then it has correct Provider ID. Currently only the following modules are supported:

  • Anybus M40 PROFINET module 8432085320 (firmware v1.40.01) since MTF6000 firmware 1.12

  • Anybus M40 EtherCAT module 8432085310 (firmware v2.15.1) since MTF6000 firmware 1.16

  • Anybus M40 EtherNet/IP module 8432085330 (firmware v1.43.2) since MTF6000 firmware 1.16

Fieldbus Carrier MT is connected to the MTF6000 controller via the fieldbus cable, and to the PLC via an Ethernet cable from the fieldbus module.

Common Fieldbus Carrier MT codes for NS LED on the Anybus PROFINET module:

  • Off = Offline

  • Green = Online (RUN)

  • Red, 1 flash = Station name error

  • Red, 2 flash = IP Address error

  • Red, 3 flash = Configuration error

Common Fieldbus Carrier MT codes for the ERR LED on the Anybus EtherCAT module:

  • Off = No error

  • Red, Blinking = Invalid configuration

  • Red, 1 flash = Unsolicited state change

  • Red, 2 flash = Sync Manager watchdog timeout

Common Fieldbus Carrier MT codes for the MS LED on the Anybus module EtherNet/IP:

  • Off = No power

  • Green = Controller by a Scanner in Run state and, if CIP Sync is enabled, time is synchronized to a Grandmaster clock

  • Green, flashing = Not configured, Scanner in idle state, or, if CIP Sync is enabled, time is synchronized Grandmaster clock

  • Red = Major fault (EXCEPTION - state, FATAL error etc.)

  • Red, flashing = Recoverable fault(s). Module is configured, but stored parameters differ from currently used parameters.
