Features

The features of the DeviceNet adapter include:
Mounting onto a PowerFlex 525 Control Module back cover for installation into the drive. It receives the required power from the drive and from the DeviceNet network.
Switches to set a node address and network data rate before applying power to the PowerFlex drive. Alternatively, you can disable the switches and use parameters to configure these functions.
Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the DeviceNet adapter and host drive. The tools include network software such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, and drive-configuration software such as RSLogix 5000 (version 17 or greater), Logix Designer (version 21 or greater), and Connected Components Workbench (version 3 or greater).
Status indicators that report the status of the DeviceNet adapter and network communications.
Parameter-configured 16-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application requirements (four Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive, and four Datalinks to read data to the network from the drive).
Explicit Messaging and UCMM (Unconnected Message Manager) support.
Master-Slave hierarchy that can be configured to transmit data to and from a controller on the network.
Multi-drive mode which allows up to five drives to share a single DeviceNet address node.
User-defined fault actions to determine how the DeviceNet adapter and its host PowerFlex 525 drive respond to:
I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)Controllers in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
Multiple data exchange methods, including Polled, Cyclic, and Change of
State (COS), can be used to transmit data between the network and adapter.
Faulted node recovery is supported. You can configure a device even when it is faulted on the network if you have a configuration tool that uses faulted node recovery and have properly set the adapter node address switches and data rate switches.

Understanding Parameter Types

10 Rockwell Automation Publication 520COM-UM002A-EN-E - April 2013
This manual references two types of parameters:
Device parameters are used to configure the adapter to operate on the network. These parameters reside on the adapter.

Safety Precautions

Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 removed before installing or removing an adapter.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 drive using this DeviceNet adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) 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
ATT EN TI ON : 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 the adapter.
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Device parameters 15 [Comm Flt Actn] and 16 [Idle Flt Actn] let you determine the action of the
adapter and drive if I/O communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted. 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).
ATT EN TI ON : 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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.

Preparing for an Installation

Commissioning the Adapter

Before installing the adapter, do the following:
Read the DeviceNet Media Design and Installation Guide, publication
DNET-UM072
.
Read the DeviceNet Starter Kit User Manual, publication DNET-
UM003.
Verify that you have all required equipment. See Chapter 1
, Getting
Started.
To commission the adapter, you must set a unique node address and the data rate that is used by the network. (See the Glossary
for details about data rates and
node addresses.).
There are two methods for configuring the adapter’s Node address and data rate:
Using the onboard DIP Switches;
Using adapter parameters – Use adapter parameters when you want more
flexibility in setting up the node address. To set the Node address using adapter parameters, see Setting the Node Address

Configuring the Adapter Chapter 3
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
Configuring a Master-Slave Hierarchy
The controller I/O image can have anywhere from zero to eight (four In and four Out) additional 16-bit parameters called Datalinks. They are configured using
Host parameters C161 [Opt Data In 1] through C164 [Opt Data In 4], and C165 [Opt Data Out 1] through C168 [Opt Data Out 4]. The number of
Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size in the controller and the in/out parameters. See the respective controller example sections in
Chapter 4
When using a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller and the Generic Profile, or a MicroLogix 1100/1400 controller, configure the Datalink parameters now as described in this section.
Enabling Datalinks To Write Data
for more information on setting the connection size.
Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting with the first parameter. For example, use Host parameters C161, C162, and C163 to configure three Datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.
Host parameters C161 [Opt Data In 1] through C164 [Opt Data In 4] control which parameters in the drive receive values from the network. To configure these parameters, set them to the drive parameter number you want to write them to.
The following steps are required to enable Datalinks to write data:
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous controller-to­drive Datalinks needed to write data to the drive and that are to be included in the network I/O connection.
2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
After the above steps are complete, the adapter is ready to receive input data and transfer status data to the master (controller). Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the adapter. See Chapter 4
, Configuring the I/O.
Enabling Datalinks To Read Data
Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting with the first parameter. For example, use Host parameters C165, C166, and C167 to configure three Datalinks to read data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.
Host parameters C165 [Opt Data Out 1] through C168 [Opt Data Out 4] configure which parameters in the drive, adapter, or any other connected

peripheral send values to the network. To configure these parameters, set them to the parameter number you wish to read over the network.
The following steps are required to enable Datalinks to read data:
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous drive-to­controller Datalinks needed to read data from the drive and that are to be included in the network I/O connection.
2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
After the above steps are complete, the adapter is ready to send output data to the master (controller). Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the adapter. See Chapter 4
, Configuring the I/O.

Selecting COS, Cyclic, or Polled I/O

The data exchange (sometimes called allocation) is the method that the adapter uses to exchange data on the DeviceNet network. The adapter can be configured to use one of the following data exchanges:
COS (Change of State) • Polled and COS
Cyclic Polled and Cyclic
Polled
If “Polled and COS” or “Polled and Cyclic” is used, the adapter receives the I/O from the polled messages. It transmit its Logic Status and Feedback in COS or Cyclic messages. Other data is transmitted in Polled messages.
Cyclic and Polled data exchanges are configured in the scanner, so you only need to set the I/O configuration in the adapter. COS data exchange must be configured in both the adapter and the scanner. You need to set the I/O configuration and COS parameters in the adapter.
Using COS (Change of State) Data Exchange (Optional)
Set Device parameter 11 [COS Status Mask] for the bits in the Logic Status word that should be checked for changes. For the Logic Status bit definitions, see
Appendix D
or the drive documentation.
1. Edit any of the bits as required.
Value Description
0 Ignore this logic bit (Default)
1 Use the logic bit.
2. Set Device parameter 12 [COS Fdbk Change] for the amount of change to the Feedback that is required to trigger a Change of State message.
The adapter is now configured for COS data exchange. You must configure the scanner to allocate it using COS. See Chapter 4

, Configuring the I/O.
Configuring the Adapter Chapter 3

Setting a Fault Action

By default, when communications are disrupted (the network cable is disconnected) and/or the scanner is idle, the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to:
Disrupted I/O communication by using Device parameter 15 [Comm Flt Actn].
An idle scanner by using Device parameter 16 [Idle Flt Actn].
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Device parameters 15 [Comm Flt Actn] and 16 [Idle Flt Actn] respectively let you determine the action of the adapter and drive if communications are 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 (a disconnected network cable or a controller in idle state).
Changing the Fault Action
Set the values of Device parameters 15 [Comm Flt Actn] and 16 [Idle Flt Actn] to the desired responses:
Value Action Description
0 Fault The drive is faulted and stopped. Datalink data is no longer sent to the drive. (Default)
1 Stop The drive is stopped as per Host parameter P045 [Stop Mode] setting. Datalink data sent to
2 Zero Data The drive is sent “0” values for all Reference and Datalink data. This does not command a stop.
3 Hold Last The drive continues in its present state.
4 Send Flt Cfg The drive is sent the Reference and Datalink data that you set in the fault configuration
the drive remains unchanged.
parameters (Device parameters 17 [Flt Cfg Logic], 18 [Flt Cfg Ref], and 19 [Flt Cfg DL 1] through 22 [Flt Cfg DL 4]).
Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.
If Multi-Drive mode is used, the same fault action is used by the adapter for all of the drives it controls (Drive 0...4).
Setting the Fault Configuration Parameters
When setting Device parameters 15 [Comm Flt Actn] and 16 [Idle Flt Actn] to 4 “Send Flt Cfg,” the values in the following parameters are sent to the drive after a communications fault and/or idle fault for drive control fault occurs. You must set these parameters to values required by your application.
Device Parameter Description
17 [Flt Cfg Logic] A 16-bit integer value sent to the drive for Logic Command.
18 [Flt Cfg Ref] A 16-bit integer value sent to the drive for Reference.
19 [Flt Cfg DL 1] through 22 [Flt Cfg DL 4]
A 16-bit integer value sent to the drive for a Datalink.
Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

IMPORTANT

Resetting the Adapter

Restoring Adapter Parameters to Factory Defaults

Changes to switch settings on some adapter parameters require that you reset the adapter before the new settings take effect. You can reset the adapter by cycling power to the drive or by using Device parameter 14 [Reset Module].
ATT EN TI ON : 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 the adapter.
Set Device parameter 14 [Reset Module] to 1 “Reset Module”.
Value Description
0 Ready (Default)
1 Reset Module
2Set Defaults
When you enter 1 “Reset Module”, the adapter will be immediately reset. An alternate method to reset the adapter is by power cycling the drive.
Set Device parameter 14 [Reset Module] to 2 “Set Defaults”.
Value Description
0 Ready (Default)
1 Reset Module
2Set Defaults
When you enter 2 “Set Defaults”, the adapter will set all of its parameters to their factory default values.
When performing a Set Defaults action, the drive may detect a conflict and then not allow this function to occur. If this happens, first resolve the conflict and then repeat a Set Defaults action. Common reasons for a conflict include the drive running or a controller in Run mode.
After performing a Set Defaults action, you must enter 1 “Reset Module” or power cycle the drive so that the new values take effect. Thereafter, this parameter will be restored to a value of 0 “Ready”.
