PRODUCT PROFILE
The PowerFlex
®
22-COMM-P adapter provides
a PROFIBUS DP network connection for
PowerFlex 40 and 400 AC drives and other
DSI-based host devices with an internal
communications slot. The adapter provides a
means to control, configure and collect data
over a PROFIBUS DP 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 22B-CCB, PowerFlex 40 C
frame drives require 22B-CCC and PowerFlex
400 C frame drives require 22C-CCC.
Configuration Switches
The adapter has
DIP switches for setting the node address (1-
127), and jumpers for byte swapping (Intel or
Motorola format) and Single/Multi-Drive modes.
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
HIM, or drive configuration software such as
DriveExplorer
or DriveExecutive
.
Single/Multi-Drive Operation – The
adapter can be used in two modes:
Single – 1 network node consists of 1 drive.
Multi-Drive – 1 network node can contain
up to 5 drives.
In this cost-saving configuration, the
22-COMM-P is installed in a PowerFlex 40
or 400 drive and up to four additional
PowerFlex 4, 40 or 400 drives can be
connected over their built-in RS-485 ports.
Each drive can be individually controlled,
configured, and monitored through the
single PROFIBUS DP connection.
I/O Messaging – I/O messaging is used to
transfer time-critical data, such as data that
controls the drive. The following data can be
sent and received by the adapter:
• Logic Command/Reference
• Logic Status/Feedback
It also supports synch and freeze modes.
Explicit Messaging – Explicit messaging
involves non time-critical information that
is typically triggered by the application
(ladder program in a controller, etc.).
The adapter supports:
Reading/writing of drive parameters
Reading/writing of adapter parameters
Compliance Tested – PNO compliance tested
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
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/Reference and Logic Status/Feedback data being
transmitted to and from the controller.
Flash Upgradeable The adapter can be flash updated in the field using
DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive or ControlFLASH to take advantage of new firmware
features as they become available.
