Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-C ControlNet Adapter - Manual (Page 70)

7-2 Using Multi-Drive Mode
Figure 7.1 Single Mode Example for Network
Multi-Drive mode is an alternative to the typical network installation,
where a single ControlNet node can consist of one to five drives. In
Figure 7.2 , the 22-COMM-C adapter is internally mounted in a
PowerFlex 40/400 drive, and the remaining PowerFlex 4-Class drives are
daisy-chained from the RS-485 port on the first drive. In
Figure 7.3 , the
22-COMM-C adapter is externally mounted in a DSI External Comms
Kit, and all PowerFlex 4-Class drives are daisy-chained from it.
