Chapter 1 Getting Started
Features The features of the option module include the following:
• Adapter or Tap mode of operation that is selected by using the Operating
Mode Jumper ( J4). In Adapter mode (default), the option module
operates as a network communication adapter supporting star, linear or
device-level ring (DLR) network topologies. In Tap mode—only intended
for use with PowerFlex 755 drives—the option module uses ENET3
(DEVICE) port as a connection point to transfer ‘Integrated Motion on
the EtherNet/IP network’ data to the PowerFlex 755 drive’s embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter.
• Industrial Ethernet switch, and ENET1 and ENET2 network ports that
provide connections for EtherNet/IP star, linear, or device-level ring
(DLR) network topologies.
• ENET3 (DEVICE) port—for use with only PowerFlex 755 drives—that
supports the transfer of ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’
data for that drive.
• Embedded electronic data sheet (EDS) files for PowerFlex 750-Series
drives that eliminate the need to download an EDS file from the Rockwell
Automation website. Instead, the EDS file is uploaded from the option
module by using RSLinx software.
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), which is an ‘RSLogix 5000
software, version 20 or later, feature’ that supports the automatic
download of configuration data. This occurs after the Logix controller
establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 750-Series
drive (firmware revision 4.001 or later) and its associated peripherals.
• Captive screws to secure and ground the module to the drive.
• 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 option module
parameters to configure the IP address.
• Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the option
module and host drive. The tools include the enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class
HIM (catalog number 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S) on the drive, and
drive-configuration software, such as DriveExplorer software, version 6.01
or later, or DriveExecutive software, version 5.01 or later.
• Status indicators that report the status of the option module and network
communication. They are visible when the drive cover is removed.
• Parameter-configured 32-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application
requirements (16 Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive,
and 16 Datalinks to read data to the network from the drive).
• Explicit Messaging support.
