Rockwell Automation 25-COMM-E2P PowerFlex 25-COMM-E2P Dual-Port EtherNet/IP Adapter - Manual (Page 10)

Chapter 1 Getting Started
Features The features of the Dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter include:
• Industrial Ethernet switch, and ENET1 and ENET2 network ports that
provide connections for EtherNet/IP star, linear, or device-level ring
(DLR) network topologies.
• Switches to set a network node address before applying power to the
drive—or you can disable the switches and use a BOOTP server, a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, or adapter
parameters to configure the IP address.
• Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the adapter
and host drive. The tools include the PowerFlex 4/40-class HIM (Human
Interface Module 22-HIM-A3 or 22-HIM-C2S), and drive-configuration
software such as RSLogix 5000 (version 17 or greater), Logix Designer
(version 21 or greater), and Connected Components Workbench (version
3 or greater).
• Status indicators that report the status of the adapter and network
communications.
• Parameter-configured 16-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application
requirements (four Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive,
and four Datalinks to read data to the network from the drive).
• Explicit Messaging support.
• Master-Slave hierarchy that can be configured to transmit data to and from
a controller on the network.
• Multi-drive mode which allows up to five drives to share a single
EtherNet/IP node.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the adapter and its host
PowerFlex 520-series drive respond to:
–
I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
– Controllers in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is an RSLogix 5000 (version 20
or greater) and Logix Designer (version 21 or greater) software feature that
supports the automatic download of configuration data upon the Logix
controller establishing an EtherNet/IP network connection to a
PowerFlex 520-series drive and its associated peripherals.
Understanding Parameter
Types This manual references two types of parameters:
• Device parameters are used to configure the adapter to operate on the
network. These parameters reside on the adapter.
• Host parameters are used to configure the drive, including the datalink
configuration for the datalinks used by the adapter. These parameters
reside on the drive.
