Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-D DeviceNet Adapter - Manual (Page 12)

1-2 Getting Started
The DeviceNet adapter features the following:
• The adapter is mounted in the PowerFlex 40 drive. It receives the
required power from the drive and from the DeviceNet network.
• Switches let you set a node address and network data rate before
applying power to the PowerFlex drive. Alternately, you can disable
the switches and use parameters to configure these functions.
• A jumper lets you select between Single or Multi-Drive mode of
operation. In Single mode, the adapter represents a single drive on
one node. In Multi-Drive mode, the adapter represents up to 5 drives
on one node.
• A number of configuration tools can be used to configure the adapter
and connected drive. The tools include an external PowerFlex
4-Class HIM (22-HIM-*), network software such as RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet, or drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer
(version 3.01 or higher) or DriveTools 2000 (version 1.01 or higher).
• Status indicators report the status of the drive communications,
adapter, and network.
• I/O, including Logic Command/Reference, may be configured for
your application using a parameter.
• Explicit and UCMM (Unconnected Message Manager) Messages are
supported.
• Multiple data exchange methods, including Polled, Cyclic, and
Change of State (COS), can be used to transmit data between the
network and adapter.
• User-defined fault actions determine how the adapter and PowerFlex
drive respond to communication disruptions on the network and
controllers in idle mode.
• Faulted node recovery is supported. You can configure a device even
when it is faulted on the network if you have a configuration tool that
uses faulted node recovery and have properly set the adapter node
address switches and data rate switches.
