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.

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.

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
on page 25.
Regardless of the method used to set the adapter’s node address, each node on
the network must have a unique node address. To change a node address, you
must set the new value and then cycle drive power.
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

rate if all of the adapter DIP switches are in the OFF position (all 0’s). The
Autobaud setting will detect the data rate used on the network if another device
is setting the data rate. Your application may require a different setting.
1. Set the value of Device parameter 09 [Net Rate Cfg] to the data rate at
which your network is operating.
Options0 “125kbps” (Default)
1 “250kbps”
2 “500kbps”
3 “Autobaud”
2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
The value of Host parameter C175 [DSI I/O Cfg] determines the number of
drives that will be represented on the network as one node by the adapter. Up to
five drives can be represented as one node by the adapter.
1. Set the value of Host parameter C175 [DSI I/O Cfg] to the number of
drives you want to be represented as one node.
Using Master-Slave Hierarchy
(Optional)
Options0“Drive 0” (Default)
1 “Drive 0-1”
2 “Drive 0-2”
3 “Drive 0-3”
4 “Drive 0-4”
Drive 0 is the PowerFlex 525 with the 25-COMM-D adapter installed.
Drive 1 through 4 are other PowerFlex drives that daisy-chain to the RJ45
(RS-485) port on Drive 0. See Chapter 7
, Using Multi-Drive Mode for
further instructions.
2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
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 (1769-SDN, 1756-DNB, 1771-SDN, 1747-SDN, and so forth).

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]

Chapter 3Configuring the Adapter
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.
ValueDescription
0Ignore this logic bit (Default)
1Use 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 AdapterChapter 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 ActionDescription
0FaultThe drive is faulted and stopped. Datalink data is no longer sent to the drive. (Default)
1StopThe drive is stopped as per Host parameter P045 [Stop Mode] setting. Datalink data sent to
2Zero DataThe drive is sent “0” values for all Reference and Datalink data. This does not command a stop.
3Hold LastThe drive continues in its present state.
4Send Flt CfgThe drive is sent the Reference and Datalink data that you set in the fault configuration
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 ParameterDescription
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”.
ValueDescription
0Ready (Default)
1Reset 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”.
ValueDescription
0Ready (Default)
1Reset 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”.
