Hello, I need to connect a Parker PSD1 drive with an integrated PLC (Codesys) to an MT8052IP display.
Has anyone done this and can help me?
Thanks

Hi @ilbadile,
For a built in Codesys PLC we recommend the Codesys V3 ethernet driver.
All of our PLC connection guides are on our forum, that will walk you through how to set up the connection to your HMI. Below is a link.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I see that in the Parker section there are no instructions for connecting the PSD1 model, probably because it’s a new model.
I’ll try to see if I can somehow get them to communicate by importing the tags.
Kind Regards
Hi @ilbadile ,
Drivers, components, or controllers that have a CODESYS runtime are usually compatible with the generic CODESYS driver we have. Could you try the driver and see if a connection is successful.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks Aaron for your availability.
The new Parker PSD1 drives have an integrated PLC and are programmed with Codesys V3. They have 3 Ethernet ports, 2 of which are configured for the fieldbus, which is also configurable (I use Ethernet/IP). Currently this drive is connected to an Omron CJ2m PLC in Ethernet/IP which I use to read and write 2 dint variables on the drive. This PLC has been configured with the Parker EDS file. I have machines with an old PLC on which I cannot put the Ethernet/IP card. I wanted to use the panel directly to read and write these variables on the drive via Ethernet/IP, i.e. use the panel as a Master instead of the PLC. Is it possible to do this?
Kind Regards
Hi @ilbadile,
Could you confirm if the CODESYS V3 (Ethernet) driver was successful for you? This would allow you to pull tag information for reading and writing, which is not possible with the generic EtherNet/IP drivers.
Thank you!
Hi Aaron,
Unfortunately not. The drive is probably not a standard Codesys , but only the PLC part. The fieldbus configuration is done by an external application provided by Parker “PSD Servo Manager”.
As I mentioned, the drive has 3 ports: 2 for the fieldbus (in -Out) and one dedicated to parameterization using the software I just mentioned.
Kind Regards
Hi @ilbadile ,
To make your Weintek HMI act as the master we recommend trying the ODVA EtherNet IP Explicit Messaging driver or the ODVA General EtherNet IP Implicit Messaging driver to allow for connection.
For details on the correct EtherNet/IP objects, instances, and drive-side configuration, please refer to the Parker PSD1 documentation or contact Parker support. If you run into any issues with the HMI driver settings or tag configuration in EasyBuilder Pro, feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help.
Thank you!
