Rockwell Automation 22-XCOMM-DC-BASE DSI External Communications Kit - Manual

DSI External Communications Kit
Installation Instructions
These instructions, provided with the DSI External Comms
Kit, explain how to install a compatible communications
adapter (sold separately) into the kit, mount the kit
enclosure, and make the required electrical connections.
These instructions also describe the accessory AC Power
Adapter. See
AC Power Adapter (20-XCOMM-AC-PS1) on
page 4 for details.
Compatability
This kit is for use with only the following Allen-Bradley
communication adapters (sold separately):
The DSI External Comms Kit is typically used to provide a
network connection for PowerFlex 4 and PowerFlex 4M
drives which cannot accomodate an internally-mounted
adapter. Up to 5 drives can be connected via their RS-485
ports to the 22-XCOMM-DC-BASE Comms Kit.
Installing the Communications Adapter
1. Before you install the communication adapter into the
Comms Kit, make sure to configure all of the adapter’s
switches and jumpers, if applicable, to appropriate
settings. Refer to the Communication Adapter User
Manual for details.
2. Remove the Comms Kit enclosure cover from the base
by unfastening its two screws.
3. Fasten the communication adapter into the enclosure
cover by using the adapter’s captive screw, which also
grounds the adapter, and the three screws provided with
the Comms Kit (
Figure 1 ).
4. The communication adapter is supplied with a 15.24 cm
(6 in.) long Internal Interface (ribbon) cable. Plug one
end of this cable into the mating connector on the power
supply board in the base of the Comms Kit enclosure.

5. Plug the other end of the Internal Interface cable into the
mating connector on the communication adapter.
6. Fasten the enclosure cover onto the base using the two
screws in the cover.
Mounting the External Comms Kit
Panel or DIN rail mount the Comms Kit before connecting
the adapter to the network and drive.
Minimum Spacing
External Comms Kits can be zero-stacked (side-by-side
mounting). Allow 75 mm (2.95 in.) of space on the bottom
of the enclosure for cable entry. Allow at least 75 mm (2.95
in.) of enclosure clearance depth to accommodate the
Comms Kit.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists.
The communications adapter contains ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that can be
damaged if you do not follow ESD control
procedures. Static control precautions are required
when handling the adapter. If you are unfamiliar with
static control procedures, refer to Guarding Against
Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists.
During panel or DIN rail mounting, be sure to
prevent any debris (metal chips, wire strands, etc.)
from falling into the Comms Kit. Debris that falls
into the kit could cause damage on power up.
