Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-C ControlNet Adapter - Manual (Page 14)

1-2 Getting Started
The ControlNet adapter features the following:
• The adapter is normally installed in a PowerFlex 40 or PowerFlex 400
drive. It can also be used in a DSI External Comms Kit
(22-XCOMM-DC-BASE).
• A jumper lets you select between Single or Multi-Drive mode of
operation. In Single mode (default), the adapter represents a single
drive on one node. In Multi-Drive mode, the adapter represents up to
5 drives on one node.
• A number of configuration tools can be used to configure the adapter
and connected drive. The tools include an external PowerFlex 4-Class
HIM (22-HIM-*) or drive-configuration software such as
DriveExplorer (version 3.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version
3.01 or higher).
• Status indicators report the status of drive communications, the
adapter, and network.
• Supports I/O, including Logic Command/Reference, for all drives
connected in Single or Multi-Drive mode.
• The following table shows the various controllers that can be used
with the 22-COMM-C adapter and whether they support explicit
messaging (parameter read/write, etc.) on a ControlNet network:
• User-defined fault actions determine how the adapter and drive (or
DSI External Comms Kit) respond to communication disruptions on
the network and controllers in program mode.
