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 with the adapter, but some you must supply yourself.

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,

ODVA publication 148

– EtherNet/IP Network Infrastructure Guidelines,

ODVA publication 35

– Ethernet Design Considerations Reference Manual,

publication ENET-RM002

• 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

2-2 Installing 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.

• See Appendix 20-COMM-E adapter.

• Verify that you have all required equipment. See Required Equipment

2-8 Installing the Adapter

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

Configuring the Adapter 3-3

Using BOOTP Server to Set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address

By default, the adapter is configured so that you can set its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address with a BOOTP server. There is a variety of BOOTP servers available. The following instructions use Rockwell Automation’s BOOTP Server, version 2.3 or later, a free standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from http://

www.software.rockwell.com/support/download/detail.cfm?ID=3390. See

the Readme file and online Help for directions and more information.

TIP: You can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address with adapter parameters. For details, see Using

Parameters to Set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 3-5.

1. On the adapter label, note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address

(MAC), which will be used in step 6.

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.

Setting the I/O Configuration

2. Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter

The I/O configuration determines the data that is sent to and from the driv e. Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks may be enabled or disabled. (Datalinks allow you to read/write directly to parameters in the drive using implicit I/O.) A ‘1’ enables the I/O and a ‘0’ disables the I/O.

See the documentation for your drive for details.

4. If you enabled one or more Datalinks, configure parameters in the drive to determine the source and destination of data in the Datalinks.

When using Datalinks, up to 8 drive [Data In xx] parameters (300…307) and/or up to 8 [Data Out xx] parameters (310…317) must be assigned to point to the appropriate drive parameters for your application. See Chapter 4

for an example.

Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy

5. Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter

The adapter is ready to receive I/O. You must now configure the adapter to receive I/O from a master or peer device. See Select ing Master-Slave or

Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy. If you select a Master-Slave hierarchy, you must

also configure the master to communicate with the adapter. See Chapter

Configuring the I/O

A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the adapter exchanges data. In a Master-Slave hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with a master, such as a scanner or bridge (1756-ENBT, 1756-EN2T , 1747-L 5-xxx, and so forth). In a Peer-to-Peer hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with one or more EtherNet/IP adapters in other drives. (The drives must have compatible Logic Command/Status words.)

For both Master-Sla v e and Peer -to-Pe er hierarchies, the de vices e xchanging data must be on the same IP subnet. See ‘IP Addresses’ in the Glossary information about IP subnets.

4. Set Parameters 52 - [Peer Out Time] and 53 - [Peer Out Skip] to

establish the minimum and maximum intervals between peer messages. Because the adapter transmits peer messages when a change-of-state

condition occurs, minimum and maximum intervals are required. – 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 and verify that communications are working or, if communications 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

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.

When setting Parameter 21 - [Comm Flt Action] or 22 - [Idle Flt Action] to ‘Send Flt Cfg’, the values in the following parameters are sent to the driv e after an I/O communication fault and/or idle fault occurs. You must set these parameters to values required by your application.

Parameter Description

25 - [Flt Cfg Logic] A 16-bit value sent to the drive for Logic Command.

26 - [Flt Cfg Ref] A 32-bit value (0…4294967295) sent to the drive as a Reference or Datalink.

27 - [Flt Cfg x1 In]

through

34 - [Flt Cfg x2 In]

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Important: If the drive uses a 16-bit Reference or 16-bit Datalinks, the most significant word of the value must be set to zero (0) or a fault will occur.

Setting Web Access Control

By using a web browser to access the IP address set for the adapter, you can view the adapter’s web pages for information about the adapter, its connected drive, and other DPI devices connected to the drive, such as HIMs or converters. Additionally, the adapter can be configured to automatically send e-mail messages to desired addresses when selected drive faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or when the adapter takes a communication or idle fault action. For more details on the adapter’s web pages, see Chapter

TIP: Series A adapter web pages are accessed differently than Series B web pages. Enabling and disabling e-mail configuration is also different.

Publication 20COMM-UM010G-EN-P

For convenience, keep the project open. Later in this chapter the project will need to be downloaded to the controller.

Configuring the I/O 4-5

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)

• Classic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, versions 13.00…15.00)

• 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.

1. In the treeview, right-click on the bridge and choose New Module… to

display the Select Module screen.

6. In the Module Definition screen, edit the following information.

Box Setting

Revision The major and minor revision of the firmware (database) in the drive. If the

drive’s major and minor revision is not available, the drive database is not installed on your computer. To get the correct database revision, use one of the 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.

Electronic Keying

Compatible Module. The ‘Compatible Module’ setting for Electronic Keying ensures that the physical module is consistent with the software configuration before the controller and bridge make a connection. Therefore, ensure that you have set the correct revision in this screen. See the online Help for additional information on this and other Electronic Keying settings. If keying is not required, select ‘Disable Keying’. Drives do not require keying, and so ‘Disable Keying’ is recommended.

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.

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).

Figure 4.3 Classic Profile Screens for Drives

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 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.

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 conver t an existing project to a Classic Profile, v ersions 13.00…15.00, or to a drive Add-on Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later).

• 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

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.

Chapter 3

discuss how to configure the adapter and controller on the network for these options. The Glossary how to use I/O after you have configured the adapter and controller.

, Configuring the Adapter, and Chapter 4, Configuring the I/O,

defines the different options. This chapter discusses

5-2 Using 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.

• ControlLogix/CompactLogix Contr o llers only—The drive prof i le used in RSLogix 5000 software (driv e Add-on Prof ile in ve rsion 16.00 or later, Classic Profile in versions 13.00…15.00, or Generic Profile in all versions).

ControlLogix Controller Image

Because the drive Add-on Profile in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, and the Classic Profile, versions 13.00…15.00, provide descriptive controller tags, the I/O image (tag size and location) is automatically configured based on the drive being used.

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].

Size Valid 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.

TIP: For PowerFlex 7 00 driv es with vector control, f irmware 3.xxx or later , 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

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].
