Installing the Adapter
Chapter 2 provides instructions for installing the DeviceNet adapter in a
PowerFlex 525 drive.
Preparing for an Installation Before installing the adapter, do the following:
• Read the DeviceNet Media Design and Installation Guide, publication
DNET-UM072 .
• Read the DeviceNet Starter Kit User Manual, publication DNET-
UM003 .
• Verify that you have all required equipment. See Chapter 1 , Getting
Started .
Commissioning the Adapter To commission the adapter, you must set a unique node address and the data rate
that is used by the network. (See the
Glossary for details about data rates and
node addresses.).
There are two methods for configuring the adapter’s Node address and data rate:
• Using the onboard DIP Switches;
• Using adapter parameters – Use adapter parameters when you want more
flexibility in setting up the node address. To set the Node address using
adapter parameters, see
Setting the Node Address on page 25 .

IMPORTANT Regardless of the method used to set the adapter’s node address, each node on
the network must have a unique node address. To change a node address, you
must set the new value and then cycle drive power.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter contains ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not
follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when
handling the adapter. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see
Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage (publication
