Publication 20COMM-UM004D-EN-P
Quick Start This section is provided to help experienced users quickly start using the
adapter. If you are unsure how to complete a step, see the referenced chapter.
Step Action See
1 Review the safety precautions for the adapter. Throughout this manual
2 Verify that the PowerFlex drive is properly installed. Drive User Manual
3 Commission the adapter.
a. With power removed, use the adapter Rack Address Rotary
Switches to set a unique rack address on the network.
b. Use the Configuration DIP Switches to set the following:
• Starting remote I/O module group (SW1 and SW2)
• Last rack (SW3)
• Rack size (SW4)
• Remote I/O baud rate (SW7 and SW8)
NOTE: If desired, the Rack Address Rotary Switches and
Configuration DIP Switches can be disabled so that adapter
parameters can be used instead to set these items. To disable all
hardware switch settings, set Configuration DIP Switches SW7
and SW8 both to the ‘On’ position. Then configure the appropriate
adapter parameters after applying power to the adapter.

Installing the Adapter
4 Install the adapter.
a. Verify that the PowerFlex drive is not powered.
b. Connect the adapter to the drive with the Internal Interface
cable.
c. Use the captive screws to secure and ground the adapter to
the drive.
d. Connect the adapter to the network with a Remote I/O cable.
NOTE: When installing the adapter in a PowerFlex 750-Series
drive, see the 20-750-20COMM and 20-750-20COMM-F1

6 Configure the adapter for your application.
Set adapter parameters for the following functions as required by
your application:
• Rack address, starting module group, last rack, rack size, and
baud rate (only when Configuration DIP Switches SW7 and
SW8 are both disabled—set to ‘On’)
• I/O configuration
• Fault actions

Configuring the Adapter
7 Create a ladder logic program.
Use a controller configuration tool such as RSLogix software to
create a ladder logic program that lets you to do the following:
• Control the connected drive, by way of the adapter, by using
Discrete I/O and Block Transfer I/O.
• Monitor or configure the drive using Block Transfer Explicit
messages.
