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.

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.

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.

Installing the Adapter	Chapter 2

Setting the Web Pages

Switch

•See Appendix A for the number of CIP connections supported by the 20- COMM-ER adapter.

•Verify that you have all required equipment. See Required Equipment on page 13.

To use the adapter web pages, the Web Pages Switch must be set to its ‘Enable Web’ position. For information to enable or disable web pages for an adapter, see Setting Web Access Control on page 42.

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.

Important: A new switch setting is recognized only when power is applied to the adapter, or the adapter is reset. If you change a switch setting, cycle power or reset the adapter to apply the change.

Set the Web Pages Switch (SW4 in Figure 2) to enable or disable the adapter web pages. By default, the adapter web pages are disabled. For complete details on adapter web pages, see Viewing the Adapter Web Pages on page 153.

Chapter 2 Installing the Adapter

Applying Power

To connect to the second drive, attach another Ethernet cable between the first drive’s option module ENET2 network port and the second drive’s option module ENET1 network port.

To connect additional drives, repeat these daisy-chain connections in the same way.

5.Route the other end of the Ethernet cable through the bottom of the PowerFlex drive (Figure 4) and insert its Ethernet cable plug into the mating adapter receptacle.

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). Possible start-up status indications are shown in Table 1.

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).

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.

Commissioning the Adapter 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 on page 32.

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.

Configuring the Adapter	Chapter 3

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-of- box 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.

TIP 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.
