Getting Started
The adapter is intended for installation in a PowerFlex 7-Class drive and is
used for network communication. The 20-COMM-E Series B adapter,
firmware 3.xxx or later, can also be installed in an External DPI Comms Kit
(20-XCOMM-DC-BASE).
For PowerFlex 750-Series drives, we recommend using the 20-750-ENETR
Dual-port EtherNet/IP option module or the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter
(only in PowerFlex 755 drives) instead of the 20-COMM-E adapter.
However, this manual does include information about using the
20-COMM-E adapter with PowerFlex 750-Series drives—but there are
operating limitations. For details, see
Compatible Products on page 1-3
