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 or SMC, 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.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is
transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault 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], 24 - [Idle Flt Action], and 43 - [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 drive. You may configure these parameters so that the
drive continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to ensure 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, Inc. does not assume responsibility or liability (to include
intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this
publication.

EMC Conformance
For all PowerFlex 70 and 700 drive installations that require CE conformance per
EN61800-3, a ferrite core must be installed on each EtherNet/IP cable connected
to the drive.
These ferrites are not required for installation on SMC products.
A ferrite core such as FAIR-RITE part number 2643803802 needs to be installed
according to the following diagram.
Note: the cable is wrapped 4 times around each core.
Figure 1 - Ferrite Core Installation
Rockwell Automation Publication 20COMM-UM015B-EN-P - July 2013 17
Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter
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-ER adapter is a multicast device. In most situations, an
IGMP snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two
20-COMM-ER 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-ER, 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.
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 retransmitted 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.

Applying Power
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death exists.
Unpredictable operation may occur if you fail to verify that parameter
settings are compatible with your application. Verify that settings are
compatible with your application before applying power to the drive.
Install the device cover or close the drive door, and apply power to the device. The
adapter receives its power from the connected device. When you apply power to
the adapter for the first time, its topmost PORT status indicator should be steady
green or flashing green after an initialization. If it is red, there is a problem. See
Chapter 7
, Troubleshooting.
Start-Up Status Indications
After power has been applied, the status indicators for the device and
communications adapter can be viewed on the front of the device
(Figure 7

Chapter 2 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 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. 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 drive Parameters 361 - [Dig In1 Sel] and 362 [Dig In2 Sel] are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).
Commissioning the Adapter
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).
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.
To commission the adapter, you must set a unique IP address on the network.
After installing the adapter and applying power, you can set the IP address by
using a BOOTP/DHCP server or adapter parameters. See Setting the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 32 for details.
By default, the adapter is configured so that you must set the IP address using a
BOOTP/DHCP server or by setting the adapter to a valid address, 1-254, via the
rotary switches on the adapter. An invalid address 0 or >254 will cause the
module to defer to the addressing mode selected by parameter 3 [BOOTP/
DHCP]. If disabled, the adapter will use the address information stored in the
adapters database. If that address is invalid, the adapter will try to contact a
DHCP server on the network. To use adapter parameters, you must disable the
BOOTP feature. For details, see Disable the BOOTP Feature
Important:New settings for some adapter parameters (for example,
Parameters 04 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 07 - [IP Addr Cfg
4]) are recognized only when power is applied to the adapter or
it is reset. After you change parameter settings, cycle power or
reset the adapter.

When using a PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, see its User Manual,
publication 20-HIM-UM001.
SMC Flex controllers require an external HIM (A3 or A6) to program the
adapter. The internal Human Interface of the SMC Flex does not allow
programming of the Adapter.
Configuring the Adapter Chapter 3
TIP
Using BOOTP
The IP address, subnet mask and gateway address can be configured multiple
ways depending on the setting of the three rotary switches on the adapter. The
switches are read on power up or reset.
1. If the switches are set to an address from 1…254, that value will be used as
the LSB of the IP address 192.168.1.xxx
2. If the switches are set to an invalid number (000 or a value greater than
254), the unit will check if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the
unit requests an address from a DHCP server.
If DHCP is not enabled and switches are set to an illegal value, the adapter
will use the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters)
stored in nonvolatile memory. If the unit finds that the stored IP
configuration is not usable (set to 0), then the unit will revert to the out-ofbox behavior of DHCP being enabled.
3. Any other switch setting will cause the adapter to use the IP address data
set in the adapter's database parameters.
By default, the adapter is configured so that you can set its IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP or a DHCP 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.
If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address with adapter parameters. For details, see Setting the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address on page 32.
Configure the Adapter Using a BOOTP Server
1. On the adapter label, note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address
(MAC), which will be used in step 6.
2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the BOOTP
software.
