Features
The PROFIBUS adapter features the following:
• The adapter is mounted in the PowerFlex drive. It receives the
required power from the drive.
• Switches let you set a node address before applying power to the
PowerFlex drive. Alternatively, you can disable the switches and use
parameters to configure this feature.
• Captive screws are used to secure the adapter to the drive.
• A number of configuration tools can be used to configure the adapter
and connected drive. The tools include the PowerFlex HIM on the
drive, or drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer
(version 2.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version 1.01 or higher).
• Status indicators report the status of the drive, adapter, and network.
They are visible both when the cover is opened and when it is closed.
• I/O, including Logic Command/Reference and up to four pairs of
Datalinks, may be configured for your application using a parameter.
• Explicit messages are supported using the Parameter Protocol.
• User-defined fault actions determine how the adapter and PowerFlex
drive respond to communication disruptions on the network and
controllers in idle mode.

peripheral communication interface and is a functional enhancement to
