Communication
Overview The SMC Flex provides advanced communications capabilities that allow it to be
started and stopped from multiple sources as well as provide diagnostic
information through the use of communication interfaces. The SMC Flex uses
the DPI method of communication, therefore all standard DPI communication
interfaces used by other devices (i.e., PowerFlex® Drives) can be used in the SMC
Flex. ScanPort devices are not supported by the SMC Flex.
Standard DPI communications cards are available for various protocols including
DeviceNet, ControlNet, Remote I/O, ModBus™, and Profibus® DP. Other
modules may be available in the future. For specific programming examples,
configuration, or programming information, refer to the user manual for the
communication interface being used. A list of available interfaces is located
below.
Table 9 - Communication Interfaces
Communication Ports The SMC supports three DPI ports for communication. Ports 2 and 3 are
supported through the serial connection on the side of the device and are
typically used to interface with a Human Interface Module (HIM). Port 2 is the
default connection with port 3 available by installing a splitter on port 2. Port 5 is
supported by connecting one of the modules listed above to the internal DPI
comm card connection.
