The 20-COMM-E adapter can be used with PowerFlex 750-Series drives, but the drive must have firmware revision 4.001
or later. Also, the 20-COMM-E adapter has the following limitations and differences:
- Only the first 16 bits of the Logic Command and Logic Status words are used.
- Speed Reference and Feedback scaling are Hz (or RPM) x 1000 (depending on the setting of drive
parameter 300 - [Speed Units].
Instead of using the 20-COMM-E adapter with the PowerFlex 753 drive, the 20-750-ENETR Dual-port EtherNet/IP option
module should be used whenever possible. Please see the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual,
publication 750-PM001, for drive parameter information and the 20-750-ENETR Dual-Port EtherNet/IP Option Module User
Manual, publication 750COM-UM008, for network communication module information. For a PowerFlex 755 drive, it is
recommended to use its embedded EtherNet/IP adapter instead of the 20-COMM-E adapter and its inherent limitations.
Some of the equipment that is required for use with the adapter is shipped

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
adapter.
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,
start up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
product using an adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury
and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter
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 adapter. If
you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding
Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.
A TTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the dri ve may f ault
when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will
respond before resetting an adapter.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameters 21 - [Comm Flt Action], 22 - [Idle Flt Action], and
41 - [Peer Flt Action] let you determine the action of the adapter
and connected drive if communication is disrupted or the
controller is idle. By default, these parameters fault the driv e. You
may configure these parameters so that the dri v e continues to run,
howev er , precautions should be taken to v erify 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 may 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.

Preparing for an Installation
Before installing the adapter, do the following:
• Make sure the Ethernet switch is the correct type. A ‘managed’ switch
that supports IGMP snooping is usually recommended. An ‘unmanaged’
switch can be used instead if RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or
later, is used and all devices on the network are configured for ‘unicast’
I/O. For more details, see the following documents:
– EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual,
• Understand IGMP Snooping/Ethernet Switches
The 20-COMM-E adapter is a multicast device. In most situations, an
IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two
20-COMM-E adapters are connected to the switch, a managed switch is
required—otherwise the drive may fault on a DPI Port x network loss.
The 20-COMM-E Series B adapter, firmware 4.001 or later, RSLogix
5000 software, version 18.00 or later, and a ControlLogix or
CompactLogix controller will support unicast. Unicast setup is required
when adding the drive to the I/O. When all adapters are set up as unicast
devices, then an IGMP snooping (managed) switch is not needed.
20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual
Publication 20COMM-UM010G-EN-P
2-2Installing the Adapter
!
Much of EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging uses IP multicast to
distribute I/O control data, which is consistent with the CIP producer/
consumer model. Historically, most switches have treated multicast
packets the same as broadcast packets. That is, all multicast packets are
re-transmitted to all ports.
IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of multicast traffic by
dynamically configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is
forwarded only to ports associated with a particular IP multicast group.
Switches that support IGMP snooping (managed switches) ‘learn’ which
ports have devices that are part of a particular multicast group and only
forward the multicast packets to the ports that are part of the multicast
group.
Be careful as to what level of support a switch has of IGMP snooping.
Some layer 2 switches that support IGMP snooping require a router
(which could be a layer 3 switch) to send out IGMP polls to learn what
devices are part of the multicast group. Some layer 2 switches can use
IGMP snooping without a router sending polls. If your control system is
a standalone network or is required to continue performing if the router is
out of service, make sure the switch you are using supports IGMP
snooping without a router being present.
Setting the Web Pages

Series A adapter) must be set to its ‘Enable Web’ position. For information
to enable or disable web pages for a Series A adapter, see Setting Web
Access Control on page 3-15.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter
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 adapter. If you
are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding
Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 7-Class 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 set 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 driv e to hav e 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. Use drive Parameter 090 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed
Reference to ‘22’ (DPI Port 5).
2. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive,
verify that unused digital input driv e Parameters 361 - [Dig In1 Sel] and
362 - [Dig In2 Sel] are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).
3. Verify that drive Parameter 213 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that
the source of the Reference to the drive is ‘22’ (DPI Port 5).
Commissioning the Adapter
This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be
monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded Speed]. If a
problem occurs, this verification step provides the diagnostic capability
to determine whether the drive/adapter or the network is the cause.
TIP: For PowerFlex 750-Series drives, use drive Parameter 545 [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed Reference:
a. Set the Port field to ‘0 - PowerFlex 75x’.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port (slot) in which the
20-COMM-E adapter/20-750-20COMM Communication Carrier
Card are installed (for this example, ‘876 - Port 6 Reference’).
The number ‘876’ in the Parameter field of the example is the
parameter in the drive that points to the port.
To commission the adapter, you must set a unique IP address on the
network. See the Glossary
adapter and applying power, you can set the IP address by using a BOOTP
server or adapter parameters. See Using Parameters to Set the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 3-5 for details.
By default, the adapter is configured so that you must set the IP address
using a BOOTP server. To use adapter parameters, you must disable the
BOOTP feature. For details, see Disable the BOOTP Feature
for details about IP addresses. After installing the

Setting the Data Rate
By default, the adapter is set to autodetect, so it automatically detects the data
rate and duplex setting used on the network. If you need to set a specific data
rate and duplex setting, the value of Parameter 16 - [EN Rate Cfg]
determines the Ethernet data rate and duplex setting that the adapter will use
to communicate. For definitions of data rate and duplex, see the Glossary
1. Set the value of Parameter 16 - [EN Rate Cfg] to the data rate at which
your network is operating.
TIP: Auto detection of baud rate and duplex works properly only if the
device (usually a switch) on the other end of the cable is also set to
automatically detect the baud rate/duplex. If one device has the baud
rate/duplex hard-coded, the other device must be hard-coded to the
same settings.

– The minimum interval ensures that the adapter does not transmit
messages on the network too often, thus minimizing network traffic.
Set the minimum interval with Parameter 52 - [Peer Out Time].
– The maximum interval ensures that the adapter transmits messages
often enough so that the receiving adapter(s) can receive recent data

are not working, can timeout. The maximum interval is the value of
Parameter 52 - [Peer Out Time] multiplied by the value of
Parameter 53 - [Peer Out Skip].
In the example below, the minimum interval is set to 2.00 seconds
(Parameter 52 - [Peer Out Time]), and the maximum interval is set to
4.00 seconds (2.00 x ‘2’ setting of Parameter 53 - [Peer Out Skip]).
5. Set Parameter 51 - [Peer Out Enable] to ‘1’ (On).
The adapter will transmit the data selected in Parameters 49 - [Peer A
Output] and 50 - [Peer B Output] to the network. Another adapter
must be configured to receive the peer I/O data.

Setting the Adapter to Receive Peer-to-Peer Data
1. Verify that Parameter 47 - [Peer Inp Enable] is set to ‘0’ (Off).
This parameter must be Off while you configure the peer input
parameters.
2. Set Parameters 42 - [Peer Inp Addr 1] through 45 - [Peer Inp Addr

Valid nodes must have 20-COMM-E adapters connected to drives with
compatible Logic Command/Status words.
3. Set Parameter 38 - [Peer A Input] to select the destination of the data
that is input to the drive as Peer A.
With the Series A adapter, revision 2.xxx or earlier, if you select a
Reference or Datalink as an input, note the following:
– If a drive that uses a 32-bit Reference and 32-bit Datalinks receives a
16-bit Reference or Datalink, it uses the data in its most significant
word, and its least significant word is zero.
– If a drive that uses a 16-bit Reference and 16-bit Datalinks receives a
32-bit Reference or Datalink, it uses the data in the most significant
word of the 32-bit Reference or Datalink and ignores the data in the
least significant word.
With the Series B adapter , re vision 3.xxx and later , data is used from the
least significant word in the event of a mismatch in Reference or
Datalink sizes.

9. Set Parameter 47 - [Peer Inp Enable] to ‘1’ (On).
The adapter is now configured to receive peer I/O from the specified node.
Ensure that the specified node is configured to transmit peer I/O.
A Reference Adjustment is a percent scaling factor for the Reference from
the network. It can be set between 0.00…200.00% to allow the drive’s
Reference to either match the network Reference (equal to 100.00%), scale
below the network Reference (less than 100.00%), or scale above the
network Reference (more than 100.00%).
ATTENTION: To guard against equipment damage and/or
personal injury , note that changes to adapter Parameter 37 - [Ref Adjust] take effect immediately. A drive receiving its Reference
from the adapter will receive the newly scaled Reference,
resulting in a change of speed.
If the adapter is receiving a Reference, set Parameter 37 - [Ref Adjust] to
the desired scaling factor.
The adjustment takes effect as soon as it is entered.

Setting a Fault Action
By default, when I/O communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected) or the controller is idle (in program mode or faulted), 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 Parameter 21 - [Comm Flt
Action]
• An idle controller by using Parameter 22 - [Idle Flt Action]
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameters 21 - [Comm Flt Action] and 22 - [Idle Flt Action]
let you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if
I/O communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By
default, these parameters fault the drive. You can set these
parameters so that the drive continues to run, however,
precautions should be taken to verify that the settings of these
parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage.
When commissioning the driv e, v erify th at your sy stem resp onds
correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable
or faulted controller).

Configuring the I/O4-5
There are three ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:
• Drive Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later)
• Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)
These are described in separate sections below. If your version of RSLogix
5000 software supports drive Add-on Profiles, we recommend that you use
this method.
Using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, Version 16.00 or Later
When compared to using the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile (versions
13.00…15.00) or Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 drive
Add-on Profiles provide the following advantages:
• Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for
basic control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/
Feedback) and Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the
name of the drive parameter to which they are assigned. These profiles
virtually eliminate I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce drive
configuration time.
• New Drive tab eliminates the need for a separate drive software
configuration tool.
• Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the RSLogix 5000
software, version 16.00 or later , project file (.A CD) and also do wnloaded
to the controller.
• Unicast connection (requires RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or
later, and 20-COMM-E Series B adapter firmware 4.001 or later)
• Drive Add-on Profiles can be updated anytime. When a new drive is
used, or to benefit from new updates for Add-on Profiles, you will need
the newest Add-on Profile update. Go to http://www.ab.com/support/
abdrives/webupdate to download the latest RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on
Profile. To determine your drive Add-on Profile version, see
Allen-Bradley Knowledgebase document #65882.
Add the Drive/Adapter to the I/O Configuration
T o transmit data between the bridge and the dri ve, you must add the dri v e as
a child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000 software,
version 16.00 is used with drive Add-on Profile version 3.01.

following buttons at the bottom left of the Module Definition screen:
• Create Database: Creates a database from an online network drive. Clicking
this button displays an RSLinx software RSWho window. Browse to the
online drive (for this example, PowerFlex 70 EC), select it, and click OK. The
database will be uploaded and stored on the computer. Thereafter, close the
Module Definition screen and then re-open it to display the new revision.
• Web Update: When a drive is not available online, opens the Allen-Bradley
Drives Web Updates website to download a specific database file. After
downloading the file, close the Module Definition screen and then re-open it
to display the new revision.
• Match Drive: Use this button when the drive being added to the network
matches the drive profile (revision, rating, configuration settings, and so forth)
of an existing online network drive. Click this button to conveniently create a
duplicate drive profile from the online drive, and automatically load this
identical information into the Module Definition screen. This eliminates the
need to manually enter the information each time a new drive with a
matching profile is added to the network.

When a 32-bit parameter is selected for Input Data or Output Data for a
drive with 16-bit Datalinks, two contiguous Datalinks (for example, x1
and x2, where x = A, B, C or D) are automatically assigned as a pair to
represent that parameter. See Datali nk e xamples in the screen sho wn on
the previous page. For more information on Datalinks, see Using
Datalinks on page 5-9.
On the Module Definition screen, notice that the automatically-assigned
controller tags DriveStatus, OutputFreq, DriveLogicRslt, and
CommandedFreq are always used.
When a Datalink is enabled, the following 20-COMM-E adapter I/O
parameters are automatically set:
– Parameter 23 - [DPI I/O Cfg] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so
the 20-COMM-E adapter will communicate that Datalink’s
information with the drive.
– Parameter 35 - [M-S Input] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the
20-COMM-E adapter will input that Datalink’ s information from the
controller.
– Parameter 36 - [M-S Output] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so
the 20-COMM-E adapter will output that Datalink’s information to
the controller.

For the benefits of unicast operation, see Preparing for an
Installation on page 2-1. If unicast is selected and the
20-COMM-E adapter does not support it, the connection
will be rejected. In this case, either update the 20-COMM-E

• The Setup tab includes a DriveExecutive icon link to conveniently
launch DriveExecutive software (when installed on computer) to match

TIP: Because the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile has been significantly
improved upon by RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, version 16.00 or
later, we recommend using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles to take
advantage of their benefits (more intuitive, time saving, and less likely to
make I/O configuration errors).

When Datalinks are used, you must enable the desired Datalinks and assign
names to their non-descriptive controller tags. When a Datalink is enabled,
you must set the following adapter I/O parameters:
• Parameter 23 - [DPI I/O Cfg] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the
20-COMM-E adapter will communicate that Datalink’ s information with
the drive.
• Parameter 35 - [M-S Input] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the

Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, All Versions
We recommend that you use the basic RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile for
only the following reasons:
• A specific drive profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000 software is
unavailable.
• Users are already familiar with a drive Generic Pr ofile and do not w ant to

• A project must maintain specific revision level control.
• The controller cannot be taken offline. RSlogix 5000 software, version
16.00 or later, enables the drive Generic Profile to be added while the
controller is online and in the Run mode.

Limitations Using a PLC-5,
SLC 500, or MicroLogix
1100/1400 Controller
Controlling I/O with explicit messages is relatively complex compared to
normal implicit I/O control.
ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers with EtherNet/IP provide the
easiest and most integrated form of implicit I/O control for a PowerFlex
drive. RSLogix 500 0 software, version 16.00 or later, for ControlLogix and
CompactLogix controllers contains integrated profiles for Po werFle x drives
that, with a few clicks of the mouse, automatically create all controller tags
and an implicit connection at the specified Requested Packet Interval to
control the drive. This connection is monitored at both ends to verify that
the controller and drive are communicating. A watchdog will cause a drive
fault if the drive does not respond within approximately 100 milliseconds.
Therefore, using a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller is by far the
much preferred method of controlling drives on EtherNet/IP.
If you are not using either of these type of controllers, then PowerFlex
drives on EtherNet/IP can be controlled with explicit messages using
PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100/1400 controllers with the following
limitations:
• An explicit message is a much slower form of control and is
non-deterministic. This means that you cannot guarantee how long the
drive will take to start up or stop when the command is given. Therefore,
all equipment used in this manner should be subject to a risk assessment,
taking into account the mechanical and electrical implementation.
• A timeout value (in seconds) in the EtherNet/IP adapter will issue a dri ve
fault if a message is not received from the controller within the specified
time. However, the controller has no way of detecting a loss of
communication to the drive until the next cycle of explicit messages.
This is another factor in the risk assessment.
• Any additional drives to be controlled will require additional explicit
messages for their control, and they need to be carefully sequenced.
Most controllers have small communication queues (see its User
Manual), which need to be carefully managed if messages are not to be
lost.
• Each controller has a limited number of communication connections (see
its User Manual for maximum connections), which will limit the number
of drives that can be connected.
In summary, unlike a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller,
programming a PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix 1100/1400 controller by
using RSLogix 5 or RSLogix 500 software with explicit messages is more
difficult, and produces a more comp lex program.

About I/O Messaging
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.
On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP, I/O connections are used to
transfer the data which controls the PowerFlex drive and sets its Reference.
I/O can also be used to transfer data to and from Datalinks in PowerFlex
7-Class drives.
The adapter provides many opti ons for conf iguring and using I/O, including
the following:
• Configuring the size of I/O by enabling or disabling the Logic
Command/Reference and Datalinks.
• Setting a Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchy.

5-2Using the I/O
Understanding the I/O Image
The terms ‘input’ and ‘output’ are defined from the controller’s point of
view. Therefore, output I/O is data that is produced by the controller and
consumed by the adapter. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the
adapter and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary
based on the following:
• Size (either 16-bit or 32-bit) of the Reference/Feedback words and
Datalink words used by the drive. To determine the size of the
Reference/Feedback and Datalinks, view adapter Parameters 18 - [Ref/Fdbk Size] and 19 - [Datalink Size]. For information to access
parameters, see Using the PowerFlex 7-Class HIM to Access
Parameters on page 3-2.
• Configuration of I/O (Parameter 23 - [DPI I/O Cfg]). If all I/O is not
enabled, the image is truncated. The image always uses consecutive
words starting at word 0.

Using Logic Command/
Status
Using Reference/Feedback
The Logic Command is a 16-bit word of control data produced by the
controller and consumed by the adapter. The Logic Status is a 16-bit word
of status data produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller.
PowerFlex 750-Series drives have a 32-bit Logic Command/Status—but
when using a 20-COMM-E adapter, only the first 16 bits can be used.
This manual contains the bit definitions for most compatible products
available at the time of publication in Appendix
Words. For other products, see their documentation.
The Reference is produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter.
The Feedback is produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller.
The size of the Reference/Feedback is determined by the drive and
displayed with adapter Parameter 18 - [Ref/Fdbk Size].
SizeValid Values
16-bit-32768 to 32767
32-bit-2147483648 to 2147483647
When the Reference and Feedback are enabled and a ControlLogix
controller with a drive Add-on Profile or Classic Profile is used, specific
controller tags are automatically created, sized (16-bit or 32-bit), and placed
in the I/O image.

Scaling = (Parameter 82 ÷ Parameter 55) * 32767
PowerFlex 70/700/700H and PowerFlex 700L Drives with 700 Control
The Reference/Feedback value is a scaled engineering value; it is not in
Hertz or RPM. The Reference uses a ‘32767’ scale. The ‘32767’ endpoint
of the scale is equal to the value of drive parameter 55 - [Maximum Freq],
which has a default value of 130 Hz. For these drives, default scaling is
0…15123 which is equal to 0…60.0 Hz. This is based on the formula
shown below. Reference/Feedback scaling is limited by drive parameter 82 [Maximum Speed]. If the default value of 60 Hz. for parameter 82 [Maximum Speed] is changed, the speed Reference/Feedback scaling also
changes. To determine Refe rence/Feedback scaling, use the following
formula:
(Parameter 82 ÷ Parameter 55) * 32767 = Scaling
Using drive parameter 82 and 55 default values, speed Reference/Feedback
scaling is:
(60 Hz ÷ 130 Hz) * 32767 = 15123
Therefore, 0…15123 = 0…60.0 Hz.
If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:
(90 Hz ÷ 130 Hz) * 32767 = 22685
Therefore, 0…22685 = 0…90.0 Hz.
A graphic representation of this Reference/Feedback scaling is shown below.
For PowerFlex 70 drives with enhanced control, firmware 2.xxx or later, or
PowerFlex 700 drives with vector control, firmware 3.xxx or later, drive
parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] was added to simplify scaling for the
speed Reference/Feedback. When drive parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] is
set to its default ‘0’ (Max Freq), the speed Reference/Feedback scaling is as
shown above. However, when parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] is set to ‘1’
(Max Speed), the speed Reference/Feedback scaling is equal to parameter
82 - [Max Speed]:
Parameter 82 = Scaling
Using the parameter 82 default value, speed Reference/Feedback scaling is:
0…32767 = 0…60.0 Hz.
If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:
90 Hz = 32767
Speed Feedback uses the same scaling as the speed Reference.

parameter 299 - [DPI Fdbk Select] enables you to select the feedback data
coming from the drive o v er DPI. The def ault is ‘Speed Fdbk’ in Hz or RPM
determined by parameter 079 - [Speed Units]. The data selection for
parameter 299 is also displayed on the 1st line of the HIM and on
DriveExplorer and DriveE xecutive software screens in the drive status area
of the screen.
PowerFlex 700S and PowerFlex 700L Drives with 700S Control
The Reference/Feedback value is:
32767 = Base Motor Speed
The base speed is set using drive parameter 4 - [Motor RPM]. To set a speed
Reference/Feedback above base speed, a value greater than 32767 must be
entered.
For 16-bit processors, such as PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers, the data
requires manipulation to set a speed Reference above 32767 or below
-32767. Please see the PowerFlex 700S AC Drives Phase II Control
Reference Manual, publication PFLEX-RM003, in the Chapter 1
‘Communications’ section. Then go to the ‘PLC 5 or SLC System’
subsection and see the ‘Reference/Feedback Programming’ sub-subsection.
PowerFlex 753/755 Drives
The Reference/Feedback value is Hz x 1000 or RPM x 1000. Drive
parameter 300 - [Speed Units] determines whether the scaling is Hz or
RPM. The default scaling is Hz, where 0…60,000 equates to 0…6 0.000 Hz.
When parameter 300 is set to RPM, then 0…1,765,000 equates to
0…1765.000 RPM.
For 16-bit processors, such as PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers, the data
requires manipulation to set a speed Reference above 32767 or below
-32767. Please see the PowerFlex 700S AC Drives Phase II Control
Reference Manual, publication PFLEX-RM003, in the Chapter 1
‘Communications’ section. Then go to the ‘PLC 5 or SLC System’
subsection and see the ‘Reference/Feedback Programming’ sub-subsection.
PowerFlex Digital DC Drives
The Reference/Feedback value is:
25000 = Maximum Reference Speed
The maximum Reference speed is set using drive parameter 45 - [Max Ref
Speed].
