Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may
contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power
from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify power has been discharged
before installing or removing an option module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel
familiar with drive and power products and the associated machinery
should plan or implement the installation, startup, configuration, and
subsequent maintenance of the drive using the option module. Failure to
comply can result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The option module
contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged
if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are
required when handling the option module. If you are unfamiliar with static
control procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage,
publication 8000-4.5.2
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the option
module is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive can fault when you
reset the option module. Determine how your drive will respond before
resetting the module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host
Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action] and 34 - [Idle Flt Action] let you
determine the action of the option module and connected drive if I/O
communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, or messaging for drive
control is disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can
configure these parameters so that the drive continues to run, however,
precautions must be taken to verify that the settings of these parameters
do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning
the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations
(for example, a disconnected cable or a controller in idle state).
.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there can be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial
system testing.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in
this publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are
many variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell
Automation does not assume responsibility or liability (to include
intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this
publication.

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module
Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 750-Series drive can be separately configured for the control and
Reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the
drive to have its control come from a peripheral or terminal block with the
Reference coming from the network. Or you could configure the drive to have its
control come from the network with the Reference coming from another
peripheral or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both its control
and Reference come from the network.
The following steps in this section assume that the drive will receive the Logic
Command and Reference from the network.
1. Verify that drive Parameter 301 - [Access Level] is set to ‘1’ (Advanced) or
‘2’ (Expert) to access the required parameters in this procedure.
2. Use drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed
Reference.
a. Set the Port field to ‘0’ as shown below.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port (slot) in which the option
module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference).
The number ‘874’ in the Parameter field of the example dialog box
above is the parameter in the drive that points to the port.
3. Verify that drive Parameter 930 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the
source of the Reference to the drive (Port 0) is the port in which the option
module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference).
22Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM005B-EN-P - June 2014
Installing the Option Module Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be
monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded SpdRef ]. If a
problem occurs, this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to
determine whether the drive/option module or the network is the cause.
4. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive, verify
that all unused digital input drive parameters are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).
Commissioning the Option
Module
To commission the option module, you must set a unique network node address.
See the Glossary
Selection Jumper on page 18 for details on selecting the source (default address,
from a DHCP server, or from option module parameters) for the network
address.
for details about IP addresses. Also, see Setting the IP Address
New settings for some option module parameters (for example Device Parameters 04 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 07 - [IP Addr Cfg 4]) are
recognized only when power is applied to the option module or it is reset.
After you change parameter settings, cycle power or reset the option
module.

Setting the Device Instance
A BACnet Device Instance number is used to identify a BACnet device over the
BACnet network. A Device Instance number must be unique across all subnets
and routed links.
The Device Instance number could be configured depending upon the adopted
network strategy. For example Figure 3
shows a Building level network having
two individual floor networks through a router which allows devices on each
network to share the same IP address. Each device on the network in this example
has a unique Device Instance number consisting of 4 digits. The first digit
represents the Building or Floor number. The last 3 digits represent the fourth
octet of the device’s IP address.

Setting the Device Port
Setting a Fault Action
Setting the Device Port enables BACnet messaging to be sent and received by the
option module over the BACnet/IP network. Set Device Parameter 19 - [Device Por t] to a value suitable for your application. By default, it is set to 47808.
By default, when communication is disrupted (for example, the network cable is
disconnected) or the controller is idle, the drive responds by faulting if it is using
I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to these faults:
• Disrupted I/O communication by using Host Parameter 33 - [Comm Flt
Action].
• An idle controller by using Host Parameter 34 - [Idle Flt Action].
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host
Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action] and 34 - [Idle Flt Action] let you
determine the action of the option module and connected drive if
communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You can configure these parameters so that the
drive continues to run, however, precautions must be taken to verify that
the settings of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment
damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds
correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected network cable
or controller in idle state).
Changing the Fault Action
Set the values of Host Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action] and 34 - [Idle Flt
Action] to an action that meets your application requirements.
Value ActionDescription
0FaultThe drive is faulted and stopped. (Default).
1StopThe drive is stopped, but not faulted.
2Zero DataThe drive is sent ‘0’ values for data. This does not command a stop.

By default, the timeout is set to 10 seconds. This value can be increased or
decreased. Alternatively, the value can be set to zero (0) to disable this timeout
feature so that the option module does not detect a communication loss.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Device
Parameter 17 - [Comm Loss Time] lets you determine how long it will
take the option module to detect a network communication loss. By
default, this parameter sets the timeout to ten (10) seconds. You can set it
so that the duration is shorter, longer, or disabled. When set to disabled,
this also disables Host Parameter 33 - [Comm Flt Action]. Therefore, a
communication fault action will be ignored. Take precautions to verify that
the setting does not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When
commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to
various situations (for example, a disconnected cable).
Changes to this parameter take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Resetting the Option
Module
Changes to the jumper setting and some option module parameters require you
to reset the option module before the new settings take effect. You can reset the
option module by power cycling the drive or by using Device Parameter 03 - [Reset Module].
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the option
module is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive can fault when you
reset the option module. Determine how your drive will respond before
resetting the option module.
Set DeviceParameter 03 - [Reset Module] to ‘1’ (Reset Module).
When you enter ‘1’ (Reset Module), the option module is immediately reset. An
alternate method to reset the module is by power cycling the drive. When you
enter ‘2’ (Set Defaults), the option module sets all of its Device and Host
parameters to their factory default values. (This is the same as pressing the ALL
soft key when using the MEMORY folder method described in Restoring Option
Module Parameters to Factory Defaults on page 34).
When performing a Set Defaults, the drive may detect a conflict and then
not allow this function to occur. If this happens, first resolve the conflict
and then repeat a Set Defaults action. Common reasons for a conflict
include a drive running or a controller (master) in Run mode.
After performing a Set Defaults, you must enter ‘1’ (Reset Module) or
power cycle the drive so that the new values take effect. Thereafter, this
parameter is restored to a value of ‘0’ (Ready).
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM005B-EN-P - June 201433
If your application allows, you can also reset the option module by
cycling power to the drive (resetting the drive) or by using the HIM’s
Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

BACnet Services
BACnet services are used for exchanging data with a device over BACnet
protocol. A BACnet server offers a set of services, which can be viewed as a set of
messages (request or response). The option module supports these BACnet
services.
Object Access Services
Object Access Services is a set of services that are used to read and write the values
of parameters for the PowerFlex 750-Series drive and option module that are
represented by BACnet objects.
The option module supports the following Object Access Services:
• Read Property Service
• Write Property Service
• Read Property Multiple Service
• Write Property Multiple Service
Remote Device Management Services
Remote Device Management Services provide services that are used to access
details of the option module, other devices on the network, configuration of
communication settings, resetting the option module, and so forth.
These are the services supported by the option module:
• Who-Has and I-Have Services
• Who-Is and I-Am Services
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM005B-EN-P - June 201437

Who-Has service is a request to identify an object
specified by the object identifier or object name.
I-Have service is a response to respond to Who-Has
service requests.
Who-Is service is used to determine the device object
identifier, the network address, or both, for all BACnet
devices on the network.
I-Am service is used to respond to Who-Is service
requests. It is independent to Who-Is service and may be
issued at any time. It is also used to broadcast the
existence of the option module, or all BACnet devices on
the network.
Understanding BACnet
Objects
BACnet devices are controlled and monitored by the use of several objects. The
BACnet controller performs read and write services to these objects, and the
option module translates the data between these objects and the PowerFlex 750Series drive.
When a read or write service occurs to a specific object, data in that object is
refreshed from or transferred to the drive.
These are the BACnet

• Analog Output (AO)
• Analog Value (AV)
• Binary Input (BI)

Using BACnet Services and Objects Chapter 4
Basic Drive Operation on
the Network
This section describes how to operate a drive on the network using a combination
of BACnet object types for basic control.
ATTENTION: Control information written to the option module by a
BACnet controller is volatile. That is, it will be erased by an option module
reset or power cycle. For example, if a BACnet controller writes to a Binary
Output (BO) object to energize an output relay on the drive and then that
drive is reset or power cycled, the drive returns the relay to its default
(de-energized) state. The option module does not attempt to restore the
relay to the energized state unless a BACnet controller writes to it again.
Basic Drive Control (Start/Stop)
Write a speed reference value (in %) to the Reference 1 Analog Value object
(AV0) Present Value property.
1. To start the drive, write a value of ‘1’ to the Run/Stop Binary Value object
(BV10) Present Value property.
2. To stop the drive, write a value of ‘0’ (zero) to the Run/Stop Binary Value
object (BV10) Present Value property.
Using an Alternate Speed Reference
Follow these steps to assign an alternate speed reference to the drive.
1. Write a speed reference value (in %) to the Reference 2 Analog Value
object (AV1) Present Value property.
2. Write a value of ‘1’ to the Ref2/Ref1 Binary Value object (BV12) Present
Val ue p rop er ty.
Changing Motor Rotation Direction
To command a reverse direction of motor rotation when the drive is running,
write a value of ‘1’ to the Rev/Fwd Binary Value object (BV11) Present Value
property. To command a forward direction when the drive is running, write a
value of ‘0’ (zero) to the Rev/Fwd Binary Value object (BV11) Present Value
property.
Clearing a Drive Fault
To clear a drive fault, write a value of ‘1’ to the Clear Faults Binary Value object
(BV13) Present Value property.

Troubleshooting Chapter 5
Viewing and Clearing
Events
The option module has an event queue to record significant events that occur in
the operation of the module. When such an event occurs, an entry consisting of
the event’s numeric code and a timestamp is put into the event queue. You can
view the event queue with any of these drive configuration tools:
• PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM
• Connected Components Workbench software, version 1.02 or later
• DriveExplorer software, version 6.01 or later
• DriveExecutive software, version 5.01 or later)
For details on viewing and clearing events using the HIM, see the PowerFlex 20HIM-A6/-C6S HIM (Human Interface Module) User Manual, publication
20HIM-UM001
The event queue can contain up to 32 entries, which are stored in an EEPROM
—making the event queue nonvolatile. Eventually the event queue will
chip
become full, since its contents are retained through option module power cycles
and resets. At that point, a new entry replaces the oldest entry. Only an event
queue clear operation or the corruption of the EEPROM group containing the
event queue will clear the event queue contents. In the latter case, the option
module will not generate a fault to indicate that the event queue was corrupted.
Resetting the option module to defaults has no effect on the event queue, other
than to log a Code 58 ‘Module Defaulted’ event.
.
Many events in the event queue occur under normal operation. If you encounter
unexpected communications problems, the events may help you or Allen-Bradley
personnel troubleshoot the problem. The following events may appear in the
event queue.

Glossary
BACnet/IPBACnet is a data communication protocol for building automation and control
networks. BACnet/IP is a specific type of BACnet network which allows the
protocol to use TCP/IP networks.
BACnet Object Any object whose properties are accessible through BACnet regardless of its
particular function within the device in which it resides. Services for BACnet
objects are used to access the data of PowerFlex 750-Series drives and its
connected 20-750-BNETIP option module.
BBMD (BACnet Broadcast
Management Device)
Bus Off A condition that occurs when an abnormal rate of errors is detected in a device.
Connected Components Workbench
Software
ControlFLASH Software A free software tool used to electronically update the firmware of Allen-Bradley
BACnet uses IP broadcasts to locate and communicate with other BACnet
devices. These broadcasts are normally blocked by IP routers. The BACnet
specification outlines a method of using a BACnet Broadcast Management
Device (BBMD) that receives broadcast messages on one subnet and forwards
them to another subnet.
The bus off device cannot receive or transmit messages on the network. This
condition is often caused by corruption of the network data signals due to noise
or data rate mismatch.
The recommended tool for monitoring and configuring Allen-Bradley products
and network communication adapters. It can be used on computers running
various Microsoft Windows operating systems. You can obtain a free copy of
Connected Components Workbench software at http://www.ab.com/support/
abdrives/webupdate/software.html.
products and network communication adapters. ControlFLASH software is
downloaded automatically when the firmware revision file for the product being
updated is downloaded from the Allen-Bradley updates website to your
computer.
Device Instance Number BACnet Device instance is used to identify a BACnet device over the BACnet
network. Device instance is unique across all subnets and routed links.
DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)
DriveExplorer Software A tool for monitoring and configuring Allen-Bradley products and network
DHCP lets the option module configure itself dynamically at restart if the
network has a DHCP server. The DHCP server assigns the option module a
preconfigured IP address, a subnet mask, and a gateway address; therefore, you do
not have to configure these with the parameters in the option module. DHCP
can make it easier to administer a BACnet network. A free version of the
Rockwell Software BOOTP-DHCP server can be obtained at http://
communication option modules. It can be used on computers running various
Microsoft Windows operating systems. DriveExplorer software, version 6.xx or
later, can be used to configure this adapter and connected drive. This software
tool has been discontinued and is now available as freeware at http://

www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/software.html. There are no plans to
provide future updates to this tool and the download is being provided ‘as-is’ for
users that lost their DriveExplorer CD, or need to configure legacy products not
supported by Connected Components Workbench software.
DriveTools SP Software A software suite designed for running on various Microsoft Windows operating
systems. This software suite provides a family of tools, including DriveExecutive
software (version 3.01 or later), that you can use to program, monitor, control,
troubleshoot, and maintain Allen-Bradley products. DriveTools SP software,
version 1.01 or later, can be used with PowerFlex 750-Series, PowerFlex 7-Class,
and PowerFlex 4-Class drives, and also legacy drives that implement a SCANport
communication interface. Information about DriveTools SP software can be
obtained at http://www.ab.com/drives/drivetools
Fault ActionA fault action determines how the option module and connected drive act when
a communication fault (for example, a disconnected cable) occurs or when the
controller is switched out of run mode. The former uses a communication fault
action, and the latter uses an idle fault action.
Fault Configuration When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and PowerFlex drive can respond with a user-defined fault
configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the drive using specific fault
configuration parameters in the option module. When a fault action parameter is
set to use the fault configuration data and a fault occurs, the data from these
parameters is sent as the Logic Command and/or Reference.
.
Foreign DeviceA BACnet device that has an IP subnet address different from those comprising a
BACnet/IP network which the device seeks to join. The foreign device may be a
full/part time node on the foreign subnet.
Gateway A device on a network that connects an individual network to a system of
networks. When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network,
a gateway transfers the data between the two networks. You need to configure the
address for the gateway device in the option module if you want the option
module to communicate with devices that are not on its network.
Hardware AddressEach Ethernet device has a unique hardware address (sometimes called a MAC
address) that is 48 bits. The address appears as six digits separated by colons (for
example, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). Each digit has a value between 0 and 255 (0x00 and
0xFF). This address is assigned in the hardware and cannot be changed. It is
required to identify the device if you are using a DHCP server.
HIM (Human Interface Module) A device that can be used to configure and control a drive. The Power Flex 20-
HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM can be used to configure Power Flex 750-Series
drives and their connected peripherals.
78Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM005B-EN-P - June 2014
Glossary
Hold LastWhen communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and PowerFlex drive can respond by holding last. Hold last results
in the drive receiving the last data received via the network connection before the
disruption. If the drive was running and using the Reference from the option
module, it will continue to run at the same Reference.
Idle Action An idle action determines how the option module and connected drive act when
the controller is switched out of run mode.
IP Addresses A unique IP address identifies each node on the BACnet/IP network. An IP
address consists of 32 bits that are divided into four segments of one byte each. It
appears as four decimal integers separated by periods (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Each
‘xxx’ can have a decimal value from 0 to 255. For example, an IP address could be
192.168.0.1.
An IP address has two parts: a network ID and a host ID. The class of network
determines the format of the address.
017152331
Class A 0 Network IDHost ID
017152331
Class B 1 0 Network IDHost ID
0 1 27152331
Class C 1 1 0 Network IDHost ID
The number of devices on your BACnet/IP network will vary depending on the
number of bytes that are used for the network address. In many cases you are
given a network with a Class C address, in which the first three bytes contain the
network address (subnet mask = 255.255.255.0). This leaves 8 bits or 256
addresses on your network. Because two addresses are reserved for special uses (0
is an address for the network usually used by the router, and 255 is an address for
broadcast messages to all network devices), you have 254 addresses to use on a
Class C address block.
To ensure that each device on the network has a unique address, contact your
network administrator or Internet Service Provider for unique fixed IP addresses.
You can then set the unique IP address for the option module with a DHCP
server, or by manually configuring parameters in the option module. The option
module reads the values of these parameters only at powerup.

Logic Command/Logic Status The Logic Command is used to control the PowerFlex 750-Series drive (for
example, start, stop, and direction). BACnet objects can be used to control the
parameters of a PowerFlex 750-Series drive. For example, BV10 is used to change
the operating state (RUN/STOP) of the drive. For a definition of BACnet
objects, see Chapter 4
The Logic Status is used to monitor the PowerFlex 750-Series drive (for example,
operating state and motor direction). BACnet objects can be used to monitor the
parameters of a PowerFlex 750-Series drive. For example, BV0 is used to monitor
the operating state (RUN Ready) of the drive. For a definition of BACnet
objects, see Chapter 4
NVS (Nonvolatile Storage) NVS is the permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the option module
and drive store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are not lost
when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called ‘EEPROM’.
Option Module Devices such as drives, controllers, and computers usually require a network
communication option module to provide a communication interface between
them and a network such as BACnet/IP. An option module reads data on the
network and transmits it to the connected device. It also reads data in the device
and transmits it to the network.

Glossary
Status Indicators LEDs that are used to report the status of the option module, network, and drive.
They are on the option module and can be viewed when the drive is powered and
its cover is removed.
Stop Action When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and drive can respond with a stop action. A stop action results in
the drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command and Reference data. If the
drive was running and using the Reference from the option module, it will stay
running but at zero Reference.
Subnet Mask An extension to the IP addressing scheme that lets you use a single network ID
for multiple physical networks. A bit mask identifies the part of the address that
specifies the network and the part of the address that specifies the unique node
on the network. A ‘1’ in the subnet mask indicates the bit is used to specify the
network. A ‘0’ in the subnet mask indicates that the bit is used to specify the
node.
For example, a subnet mask on a network may appear as follows: 11111111
11111111 11111111 11000000 (255.255.255.192). This mask indicates that 26
bits are used to identify the network and 6 bits are used to identify devices on
each network. Instead of a single physical Class C network with 254 devices, this
subnet mask divides it into four networks with up to 62 devices each.
Updat e The process of updating firmware in a device. The option module can be updated
using various Allen-Bradley software tools. See Updating the Option Module
Firmware on page 35 for more information.
Zero Data When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and drive can respond with zero data. Zero data results in the
drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command and Reference data. If the drive
was running and using the Reference from the option module, it will stay running
but at zero Reference.
