Danfoss FC302 & Siemens Object Technology - Return Experience

Hello,

You are right to inquire about experiences using the Danfoss FC302 with Siemens object technology (e.g., using GSDML telegrams for complex data structures). While the FC302 GSDML does offer various telegrams, implementing object-oriented communication can present challenges.

Return Experience: Yes, some users have successfully implemented object technology with the FC302, primarily for advanced diagnostics and parameter access. However, it's often reported as more complex than standard I/O-based communication.

Potential Issues:

• Complexity: Configuring and troubleshooting object-oriented communication requires deeper understanding of both the drive's object model and the Siemens PLC's object handling capabilities.
• Performance: Object access can sometimes be slower compared to direct I/O reads/writes.
• Compatibility: Ensure compatibility between the specific FC302 firmware, GSDML version, and your Siemens PLC/TIA Portal version.

Recommendations:

• Start with a limited scope to gain experience.
• Thoroughly test all object accesses and data consistency.
• Consult the Siemens GSDML documentation and Danfoss documentation for detailed configuration guidance.

For further assistance and specific use case examples, I recommend searching the Siemens Support Forum: Siemens Support Forum

Sincerely,

Siemens Self Support (integrated with SiePortal)
