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 PROFIBUS 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
11 [Comm Flt Action] and 12 [Idle Flt Action] let you determine the action
of the adapter and drive if I/O 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).
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 PROFIBUS Installation Guideline for details on PROFIBUS
networks.
• Verify that you have all required equipment.
See Required Equipment
on page 9.
To commission the adapter, you must set the Endianness and a unique node
address that is used by the network. See the Glossary
on page 85 for details about
node addresses.
There are two methods for configuring the adapter’s Endianness and node
address:
• 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.
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

Chapter 2Installing the Adapter
IMPORTANT
Node Address
switches (1...7)
Byte Swap
switch (8)
Setting the Endianness and Node Address Using the DIP Switches
Set the Endianness of the adapter with Byte Swap switch 8. The Byte Swap switch
can be set to either OFF ‘0’ (Little Endian) or ON ‘1’ (Big Endian) data formats
for the data exchanged on the network. The data consists of the following items:
• CTRL: Logic Command Word (four bytes)
• REF: Speed Reference (two bytes)
• STAT: Logic Status Word (four bytes)
• FEEDBACK: Speed Feedback (two bytes)
• zero to eight Datalinks (two bytes each)
• Acyclic messaging
Depending on the setting of the Byte Swap switch 8, the two bytes for each of the
above data items are swapped.
Each node on the PROFIBUS network must have a unique address. Set the node
address before power is applied because the adapter detects the node address
during initialization (Power On Reset). Unless using the Set Slave Address
service in which the address change occurs without requiring a power cycle.
Set the Node Address by setting the Node Address switches 1 through 7 to their
binary equivalent, where ‘0’ and ‘1’ indicate switch positions ‘OFF’ and ‘ON’
respectively. Node Address Switch Settings
on page 15 lists node addresses and
the corresponding Node Address switch settings required to set that respective
address.

Configuring/Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 520-series 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.
Configuring the Host parameters can be done using the drive’s keypad, a HIM,
Logix Designer or Connected Components Workbench. In the following
example, the drive will receive the Logic Command and Reference from the
network.
1. Set the value of Host parameter P046 [Start Source 1]
to 4 “Network Opt”.
2. Set the value of Host parameter P047 [Speed Reference1]

Chapter 3Configuring the Adapter
IMPORTANT
Using Master-Slave Hierarchy
(Optional)
This procedure is only required if Datalinks are used to write or read data of 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
PROFIBUS master, such as a Prosoft MVI69-PDPMV1 Master Network
Interface module for CompactLogix.
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
Configuring the PROFIBUS Master
the connection size.
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.
on page 31 for more information on setting
Enabling Datalinks To Write 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 write 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]
control which parameters in the drive send values to the network. To configure
these parameters, set them to the drive parameter number you want to correlate
them to.
The following steps are required to enable Datalinks to write data:
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous drive-to-network
Datalinks needed to write data to the network 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 and
transfer status data to the master (controller). Next, configure the controller to
recognize and transmit I/O to the adapter. See Configuring the PROFIBUS
Master on page 31.

Configuring the AdapterChapter 3
IMPORTANT
Enabling Datalinks To Read Data
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 read 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]
configure which parameters in the drive receive values from the network. To
configure these parameters, set them to the parameter number you wish to
correlate them to.
The following steps are required to enable Datalinks to read data:
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous network-to-drive
Datalinks needed to read data from the network and that are to be
included in the network I/O connection.
2. Reset the adapter by power cycling the drive.
Setting a Fault Action
After the above steps are complete, the adapter is ready to receive input data from
the master (controller). Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit
I/O to the adapter. See Configuring the PROFIBUS Master
By default, when communications are disrupted (the network cable is
disconnected) and/or the controller is idle (in program mode or faulted), the
drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the network. You can configure a
different response to these events:
• Disrupted I/O communication by using Device parameter
11 [Comm Flt Action].
• An idle controller by using Device parameter 12 [Idle Flt Action].
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Device parameters
11 [Comm Flt Action] and 12 [Idle Flt Action] 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).

Rockwell Automation Publication 520COM-UM004A-EN-E - November 201327
Chapter 3Configuring the Adapter
Changing the Fault Action
Set the values of Device parameters 11 [Comm Flt Action] and 12 [Idle Flt
Action] 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
the drive remains unchanged.
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 communication is disrupted and then re-established again, the drive will
automatically receive commands over the network again.
Setting the Fault Configuration Parameters
Resetting the Adapter
When setting Device parameters 11 [Comm Flt Action] and 12 [Idle Flt
Action] 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 occurs. You
must set these parameters to values required by your application.
Device ParameterDescription
13 [Flt Cfg Logic]A 16-bit integer value sent to the drive for Logic Command.
14 [Flt Cfg Ref]A 16-bit integer value sent to the drive for Reference.
15 [Flt Cfg DL 1] through
18 [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.
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 19 [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 19 [Reset Module] to 1 “Reset Module”.

Using Parameters
Set Device parameter 19 [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”.
The following Device parameters provide information about the status of the
adapter. You can view these parameters at any time using the PowerFlex
22-HIM-A3 or 22-HIM-C2S HIM or Connected Components Workbench.

NameDescription
02 [DLs From Net Act]Displays the number of network-to-drive Datalinks that the drive is using based on the I/O
connection opened by the controller.
03 [DLs To Net Act]Displays the number of drive-to-network Datalinks that the controller is using based on the
I/O connection opened by the controller.
04 [Net Addr Src]Displays the source from which the adapter’s node address is taken. This will be either the
Node Address switches (see Setting the Endianness and Node Address Using the DIP Switches
on page 14) or the value of Device parameter 05 [Net Addr Cfg].
06 [Net Addr Act]Displays the actual network node address used by the adapter, which can be one of the
following:
• The address set with the Node Address switches (see Setting the Endianness and Node
Address Using the DIP Switches on page 14).
• The Set Slave Address service, sets the value of the new address into the Device parameter
05 [Net Addr Cfg]. It is saved in Non-volatile memory, but takes effect immediately.
• An old address from the switches or parameter. (If either has been changed, but the
adapter has not been reset, the new address will not be in effect.)
The adapter firmware can be updated over the network or through DSI using a
tool such as the 1203-USB serial converter.
When updating firmware over the network or DSI, you can use the Allen-Bradley
ControlFLASH software tool.
