Rockwell Automation 22-WIM-N1 DSI Wireless Interface Module - Manual (Page 75)

Appendix
D
Using RTU Master Mode
Appendix D provides information about using the WIM in RTU Master
mode.
With the WIM in RTU Master mode, you can monitor, configure, and
control up to 32 PowerFlex 4-Class drives using Allen-Bradley drive
software tools.
Important: All PowerFlex 40 and PowerFlex 400 drives on an RTU
Master network must have an open internal Port 1. Thus, a
22-COMM-* adapter cannot be connected to this port via
the Internal Interface ribbon cable.
When a drive faults in an RTU Master network, all other drives remain
operational and unaffected.
Establish wireless communication between the WIM and the computer.
For this procedure, refer to the respective section in Chapter 3 that
corresponds to the drive software tool you are using:
•
Using Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC on page 3-2
•
Using DriveExplorer/DriveExplorer Lite on page 3-10
•
Using DriveExecutive on page 3-16
Important: When using DriveExplorer to connect to drives on an RTU
Master network, use only DriveExplorer Full since
DriveExplorer Lite does not support multi-drive
connectivity.
