PRODUCT PROFILE
The PowerFlex
®
22-COMM-D adapter provides a
DeviceNet network connection for PowerFlex 40
AC drives and other DSI-based host devices with
an internal communications slot. The adapter
provides a means to control, configure and
collect data over a DeviceNet network.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Internal Mount – The adapter mounts internal
to the drive to save panel space, and is field
installable. PowerFlex 40 drives require an
additional front cover (22B-CC*).
Configuration Switches – The adapter has
DIP switches for setting the node address (0-63),
data rate (125/250/500/Auto kbps), and a
jumper for Single/Multi-Drive modes.
Multiple Configuration Tool Options – A
number of configuration tools can be used to
configure the adapter and the connected drive.
These tools include the PowerFlex HIM, or
drive-configuration software such as
DriveExplorer
™
or DriveExecutive
™
.
Single/Multi-Drive Operation – The adapter
can be used in two modes:
• Single – 1 network node consists of 1 drive.
• Multi-Drive – 1 network node can contain
up to 5 drives. In this cost-saving configuration,
the 22-COMM-D is installed in a PowerFlex 40
drive and up to four additional PowerFlex 4
or 40 drives can be connected over their
built-in RS-485 ports. Each drive can be
individually controlled, configured, and
monitored through the single DeviceNet
connection.
I/O Messaging – I/O messaging is used to
transfer time-critical data, such as data that
controls the drive. The following data can be
sent and received by the adapter:
• Logic Command/Reference
• Logic Status/Feedback
It supports Polled, Change-of-State(COS),
and Cyclic I/O methods.
Explicit Messaging – Explicit messaging
involves non time-critical information that is
typically triggered by the application (ladder
program in a controller, etc.). The adapter
supports:
• Reading/writing of drive parameters
• Reading/writing of adapter parameters
Automatic Device Replacement (ADR)
Support – Allows a scanner to upload and store
the adapter and drive configuration settings.
Upon replacing a faulty drive with a new unit,
the scanner can automatically download the
configuration data and set the node address.
User Configurable Fault Responses – Selects the action that
the adapter and drive will take for the following two conditions:
• Idle Fault Action – the scanner is idle (controller in program mode)
• Comm Fault Action – network communications have become disrupted
Available actions include:
• Fault – the drive is faulted and stopped
• Stop – the drive is stopped using the current deceleration rate and is not faulted
• Zero Data – the adapter zeros the I/O data transmitted to the drive
• Hold Last – the adapter continues sending the I/O data prior to the fault and the
drive continues in its present state
• Send Fault Configuration – the user specifies the Logic Command and Reference data
that is sent to the drive, allowing complete flexibility in configuring a fault action
Diagnostics – Built-in diagnostics allow drive-side troubleshooting of the network
connection using a PowerFlex DSI HIM, DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive. View actual
Logic Command/Reference and Logic Status/Feedback data being transmitted to and
from the controller.
Flash Upgradeable – The adapter can be flash updated in the field using
DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive or ControlFLASH to take advantage of new firmware
features as they become available.
