PRODUCT PROFILE 20-COMM-B BACnet® MS/TP ADAPTER

The PowerFlex™ 20-COMM-B adapter provides

an internal BACnet MS/TP connection to
PowerFlex® 70 (SC or EC), 700 (SC or VC),
and 700H drives. The adapter provides a
means to control, configure, and collect data
over a BACnet MS/TP network.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Installation – The adapter mounts internal
to the drive to save valuable panel space, and
is field installable. If an external connection
is needed, the adapter can also be installed
in a DPI External Communications Kit
(20-XCOMM-DC-BASE).
Configuration Switches – The adapter has
configuration switches for setting the MAC
address (addressable up to node 127), and
enabling/disabling the termination and
bias resistors.
Supported Data Rates – The adapter can
“autoband” out-of-the-box or be set to one
of four selectable baud rates (9600, 19200,
38400 or 76800 bps), and can be configured
using a parameter.
Multiple Configuration Tool Options – A User Configurable Fault Responses – Selects the action that the adapter and
number of configuration tools can be used to drive will take for the following two conditions:

PRODUCT PROFILE 20-COMM-K CANopen® ADAPTER

The DPI CANopen adapter provides a direct

connection on CANopen for PowerFlex 70 (SC Communications
or EC), 700 (SC or VC), 700H, and 700S
drives. CANopen is based on the same CAN
bus technology as DeviceNet™, but has a
different hardware and electrical structure,
so it is not compatible. CANopen utilizes
baud rates up to 1 Mbps, and works as a
Producer – Consumer connection.
The CANopen adapter uses the same logic
control structure as all other PowerFlex
communication adapters, so all
fundamentals of Datalinks, safe-state data,
flash upgradeability are supported. To
maintain this functionality, the CANopen
adapter conforms to the CANopen DSP 301
profile. It is important to check that this
generic profile is acceptable to the customer
before applying to their application.

PRODUCT PROFILE 20-COMM-R REMOTE I/O™ ADAPTER

The PowerFlex® 20-COMM-R Remote I/O

adapter provides an internal network Communications
connection for PowerFlex 70, 700, 700H and
700S AC drives, and other DPI-based host
devices. The adapter provides a means to
control, configure and collect data over a
Remote I/O network.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Internal Mount – The adapter mounts
internal to the drive to save panel space, and
is field installable.
Configuration Switches – The adapter has
rotary switches for setting the node address
(0-77) and DIP switches for setting the network
data rate (57.6 Kbps/115.2 Kbps/230.4 Kbps),
rack size, group number, and last group in
rack. Alternatively, the switches can be
disabled to allow these settings to be
configured using parameters.
Multiple Configuration Tool Options – A
number of configuration tools can be used
to configure the adapter and the connected
drive. These tools include the PowerFlex DPI User Configurable Fault Responses – Selects the action that the adapter and
HIM, or drive-configuration software such as drive will take for the following two conditions:
DriveExplorer™ or DriveExecutive™. • Idle Fault Action – the scanner is idle (controller in program mode)
• Comm Fault Action – network communications have become disrupted
I/O Messaging – I/O messaging is used to
transfer time-critical data, such as data that Available actions include:
controls the drive. The following data can • Fault – the drive is faulted and stopped
be sent and received by the adapter: • Stop – the drive is stopped using the current deceleration rate and is not faulted
• Logic Command/Reference • Zero Data – the adapter zeros the I/O data transmitted to the drive
• Logic Status/Feedback • Hold Last – the adapter continues sending the I/O data prior to the fault and the
• Datalinks - read and write up to 8 parameters drive continues in its present state
• Send Fault Configuration – the user specifies the Logic Command, Reference,
Explicit Messaging – Explicit messaging and Datalink data that is sent to the drive, allowing complete flexibility in
involves non time-critical information that is configuring a fault action
typically triggered by the application (ladder
program in a controller, etc.). The adapter Diagnostics – Built-in diagnostics allow drive-side troubleshooting of the network

etc. in the drive and to any connected DPI actual Logic Command/Reference, Logic Status/Feedback and Datalink data being
peripheral(s). transmitted to and from the controller.
Rack Size – Two rack sizes can be configured: Flash Upgradeable – The adapter can be flash updated in the field using
• 1/4 Rack - Logic Command/Status DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive or ControlFLASH to take advantage of new firmware
• 1/2 Rack - Logic Command/Reference and features as they become available.
