20-COMM-D DeviceNet Adapter User Manual
Publication 20COMM-UM002G-EN-P
Chapter 1
Getting Started
The adapter is intended for installation into a PowerFlex 7-Class drive and
is used for network communication. The 20-COMM-D Series B adapter,
firmware revision 2.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-DNET
DeviceNet option module instead of the 20-COMM-D adapter. However,
this manual does include information on using the 20-COMM-D adapter
with PowerFlex 750-Series drives—but there are operating limitations. For
details, see Compatible Products
on page 1-3.
