Chapter 1 Getting Started
Features The features of the option module include the following:
• Captive screws to secure and ground the module to the drive.
• Switches to set a node address before applying power to the drive—or you
can disable the switches and use an option module parameter to configure
the node address.
• Compatibility with the following configuration tools to configure the
option module and host drive:
– PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM (Human Interface
Module) on the drive, if available
– Connected Components Workbench software, version 1.02 or later
– DriveExplorer software, version 6.01 or later
– DriveExecutive software, version 5.01 or later
• Status indicators that report the status of the option module and network
communication. They are visible when the drive cover is removed.
• Parameter-configured 32-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application
requirements (16 Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive,
and 16 Datalinks to read data to the network from the drive).
• Explicit Messaging support.
• Master-Slave hierarchy that can be set up so that the option module and
PowerFlex 750-Series drive transmit data to and from a scanner on the
network.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the option module and its
connected host drive respond to the following:
– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
– Controllers in Idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
– Explicit messaging disruptions for drive control via PCCC, the CIP
Register Object, or the CIP Assembly object (Msg Flt Action)
• Access to any PowerFlex drive and its connected peripherals on the
network to which the option module is connected.
