Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-P PowerFlex Profibus Adapter - Manual (Page 10)

1-2 Getting Started
The adapter features include:
• Typical mounting in a PowerFlex 40, PowerFlex 40P or PowerFlex
400 drive. It can also be installed in a DSI External Comms Kit
(22-XCOMM-DC-BASE).
• The low seven bits of 8-bit DIP switch let you set a node address, and
the MSB bit provides write access for the Flash update of module
firmware.
• Single mode or Multi-Drive mode of operation selected with the
adapter Mode Jumper J2.
– In Single mode (default), the adapter represents a single drive on
one node and can support one additional external peripheral
(HIM or 22-SCM-232) over DSI.
– In Multi-Drive mode, the adapter represents up to 5 drives on one
node daisy-chained over the RS-485 interface. In this case, the
unit will not operate with DSI peripheral devices such as the
HIM or the 22-SCM-232.
• Status indicators report the status of the drive communications, the
adapter, and network.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the adapter and
connected drive respond to:
– Communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
– Controller in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
• I/O messages (that is, Control/Status, Reference/Feedback) that are
exchanged with the Profibus master in every bus cycle. The Synch &
Freeze modes are supported. I/O configuration is fixed and no
Datalinks is supported.
• Configuration and monitoring using Parameter Messaging for slave
device's parameters on the Profibus network. Also, when operated in
Single mode, the slave device's parameters on the Profibus network
can be configured and monitored using drive software tools Drive
Explorer or DriveTools SP via DSI.
