Getting Started
The adapter is intended for installation into a PowerFlex 40, PowerFlex 40P or

also be installed in a DSI External Comms Kit (22-XCOMM-DC-BASE).
When operated in Multi-Drive mode (Chapter

means for up to five (5) PowerFlex 4-Class drives to operate on the network
and be represented as only one node.
