Rockwell Automation 20-COMM-I Interbus Adapter - Manual (Page 10)

1-2 Getting Started
The Interbus adapter features the following:
• The adapter is mounted in the PowerFlex drive and receives the
required power from the drive. Captive screws are used to secure the
adapter to the drive.
• A number of configuration tools can be used to configure the adapter
and connected drive. The tools include the PowerFlex HIM on the
drive, or drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer
(version 2.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version 1.01 or higher).
• Status indicators report the status of the drive, adapter, and network.
• I/O, including Logic Command/Reference and Datalinks, may be
configured for your application using a parameter.
• Explicit messages are supported (PCP Read/Write).
• User-defined fault actions determine how the adapter and PowerFlex
drive respond to communication disruptions on the network.
The Interbus adapter is compatible with Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives
and other products that support DPI. DPI is a second generation
peripheral communication interface. It is a functional enhancement to
SCANport. At the time of publication, compatible products include:
• PowerFlex 70 drives
• PowerFlex 700 drives
• PowerFlex 7000 drives
