20-COMM-M Modbus/TCP Adapter User Manual
Publication 20COMM-UM014C-EN-P
The features of the adapter include:
Typical mounting in a PowerFlex 7-Class drive. The adapter can also be
installed in a DPI External Comms Kit. See
Adapter in a DPI External Comms Kit (20-XCOMM-DC-BASE)
more information.
Important: Due to inherent operating limitations, the adapter cannot be
used with the kit's optional I/O board.
Captive screws to secure and ground the adapter to the drive or, when
mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit, to the kit's metal enclosure.
Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the adapter
and connected drive. The tools include the PowerFlex 7-Class HIM on
the drive, and drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer
(version 2.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version 3.01 or higher). In
addition, you can use a BOOTP server to configure the network address
for the adapter.
Status indicators that report the status of the drive communications, the
adapter, and network. They are visible when the drive cover is open or
closed.
Parameter-configurable I/O (Logic Command/Reference and up to four
pairs of Datalinks) to meet application requirements.
Uses Ethernet II framing for Modbus/TCP protocol.
Support for a variety of Modbus/TCP function codes.
User-defined fault actions to determine how the adapter and connected
drive respond to I/O messaging communication disruptions.
Web pages, viewed using a web browser, that show information about the
adapter, connected drive, and other DPI devices connected to the drive.
Configurable e-mail messaging to desired addresses when selected drive
faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or when the adapter takes a
communication fault action.
Access to any PowerFlex drive and its connected peripherals on the
network to which the adapter is connected.
DPI is a second generation peripheral communication interface and a
functional enhancement to SCANport. The adapter is compatible with
Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 7-Class drives and other products that support
DPI. At the time of publication, compatible products include:
PowerFlex 70/70EC drives
PowerFlex 700/700VC drives
PowerFlex 700H drives
PowerFlex 700S drives
