PRODUCT PROFILE
The PowerFlex
®
DSI LonWorks
™
adapter
provides an internal LonWorks connection for
PowerFlex 40 and PowerFlex 400 drives. It can
also be used with other Allen-Bradley products
that support a DSI adapter, such as the DSI
External Communications Kit (22-XCOMM-
DC-BASE) which enables PowerFlex 4
drives to connect to a LonWorks network.
(PowerFlex 4 drives cannot support an
internally-mounted adapter.) The adapter
provides a means to control, configure and
collect data over a LonWorks network.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Internal Mount – The adapter mounts
internal to the drive to save panel space, and
is field installable. PowerFlex 40 B frame
drives require an additional front cover 22B-
CCB, PowerFlex 40 C frame drives require
22B-CCC and PowerFlex 400 C frame drives
require 22C-CCC.
Multiple Configuration Tool Options – A
number of configuration tools can be used
to configure the adapter and the connected
drive. These tools include the PowerFlex DSI
HIM, or drive-configuration software such as
DriveExplorer
™
or DriveExecutive
™
through a
22-SCM-232 or 1203-USB converter.
LonMark Functional Profile – “Variable
Speed Motor Drive: 6010” Support – The
adapter supports the standard functional
profile used by the HVAC industry for drives,
which provides a common set of system network
variables and configuration properties.
Additional “Manufacturer Defined”
Network Variables – Additional
“Manufacturer Defined” network variables
are also provided:
• Parameter Read/Write
• Metering
• Configuration
Resource Files – The following resource files
are included on 3.5” disk with the adapter:
• XIF File
• Type File (TYP)
• Format File (FMT)
• Language File (ENU)
• Functional Profile Template (FPT)
User Configurable Fault Responses – Selects the action that the adapter and
drive will take for the following two conditions:
• Idle Fault Action – the scanner is idle (controller in program mode)
• Comm Fault Action – network communications have become disrupted
Available actions include:
• Fault – the drive is faulted and stopped
• Stop – the drive is stopped using the current deceleration rate and is not faulted
• Zero Data – the adapter zeros the I/O data transmitted to the drive
• Hold Last – the adapter continues sending the I/O data prior to the fault and
the drive continues in its present state
• Send Fault Configuration – the user specifies the Logic Command and Speed
Reference data that is sent to the drive, allowing complete flexibility in
configuring a fault action
Diagnostics – Built-in diagnostics allow drive-side troubleshooting of the network
connection using a PowerFlex DSI HIM, DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive. View
actual Logic Command/Speed Reference and Logic Status/Speed Feedback data
being transmitted to and from the controller.
Flash Upgradeable – The adapter can be flash updated in the field using Third-
party software tools such as Echelon
®
LonMaker
™
for Windows or the LOADAPP
Neuron Chip Application Download Utility to take advantage of new firmware
features as they become available.
