Getting Started
Features
The features of the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter include:
• Drive parameters to set an IP address – or you can use a BOOTP server to
configure the IP address.
• Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter and host drive. The tools include the PowerFlex 4/
40-class HIM (Human Interface Module 22-HIM-A3 or 22-HIM-C2S),
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 on the drive’s LCD display that report the status of the
embedded EtherNet/IP 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 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
EtherNet/IP node.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the embedded EtherNet/IP
adapter and its host PowerFlex 525 drive respond to:
– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
– Controllers in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is an RSLogix 5000 (version 20
or greater), and Logix Designer (version 21 or greater) feature that
supports the automatic download of configuration data upon the Logix
controller establishing an EtherNet/IP network connection to a
PowerFlex 525 drive and its associated peripherals.
Compatible Products
At the time of publication, the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is compatible
with Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 525 drives.
Required Equipment
Equipment Shipped with the Drive
Since the EtherNet/IP adapter is embedded on the Main Control Board in the
PowerFlex 525 drive, it is always an integral part of the drive and, therefore, is not
shipped with installation instructions.
