PRODUCT PROFILE
The PowerFlex
®
22-COMM-E adapter provides an
EtherNet/IP network connection for PowerFlex
40 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 an EtherNet/IP network.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Internal Mount – The adapter mounts internal
to the drive to save panel space, and is field
installable. PowerFlex 40 drives require an
additional front cover (22B-CC*).
Configuration Switches – The adapter has
DIP switches for enabling /disabling the web
pages and for setting 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-E is installed in a PowerFlex 40
drive and up to four additional PowerFlex 4 or
40 drives can be connected over their built-in
RS-485 ports. Each drive can be individually
controlled, configured, and monitored
through the single EtherNet/IP 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
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
Web Interface – Use a web browser such as
MicroSoft
™
Internet Explorer
™
to access the
drive over the Intranet or Internet.
• TCP/IP Configuration - View TCP/IP
configuration data and Ethernet
diagnostic information.
• Email Notification - Configure email
notification if a specific fault or alarm
occurs, if any fault or alarm occurs, or
if the drive is reset.
• DSI Device Browse - View every DSI device, including the drive and connected
peripherals. Provides general device information, diagnostics, and event/fault
queue display.
• Online User Manuals – Link to view the user manual online over the Internet.
• Software Tools Web Site – Link to the DriveExplorer and DriveExecutive Internet
web sites.
• Launch Drive Software Tools – Directly launch DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive
software already on your PC, and have the tool automatically connect to the drive.
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.
