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.

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
