Chapter 1 Getting Started
Features
The features of the option module include the following:
• Captive screws to secure and ground the option module to the drive.
• An IP Address Selection Jumper to set the source of the network address
for the option module before applying power to the drive. The network
address can come from the default network address of the option module,
a DHCP server, or the option module parameter values.
• Compatibility with the following configuration tools to configure the
option module and host drive:
– PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM (Human Interface
Module) on the drive, if available
– Connected Components Workbench software, version 1.02 or later
– DriveExplorer software, version 6.01 or later
– DriveExecutive software, version 5.01or later
– Third party BACnet controlling and monitoring tools
• Status indicators that report the status of the option module and network
communication. They are visible when the drive cover is removed.
• Read/write access for parameters, where parameter values can be
configured and monitored over the network.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the option module and its
connected host drive respond to the following:
– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
– Controllers in Idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
• Web pages, viewed by using a web browser, that show information about
the option module, its host drive, and DPI devices connected to the drive.
• Configurable e-mail messaging to desired addresses when selected drive
faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or when the option module takes a
communication or idle fault action.
Understanding Parameter
Types
The option module has two types of parameters:
• Device parameters are used to configure the option module to operate on
the network.
• Host parameters are used to configure the option module’s fault actions
with the drive.
