3-8 Configuring the Adapter
Drive 0 is the PowerFlex 40 with the 22-COMM-E adapter installed.
Drive 1 through 4 are PowerFlex 4 and/or 40 drives that multi-drop
to the RJ45 (RS-485) port on Drive 0. Refer to
Chapter 7 , Using
Multi-Drive Mode for more information.
2. If a drive is enabled, configure the parameters in the drive to accept
the Logic Command and Reference from the adapter. For example,
set
Parameters 36 - [Start Source] and 38 - [Speed Reference] in a
PowerFlex 40 drive to “Comm Port.”
3. Reset the adapter. See Resetting the Adapter section in this chapter.
By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected) 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
communication disruptions using
Parameter 18 - [Comm Flt Action]
and a different response to an idle scanner using Parameter 19 - [Idle
Flt Action] .
Setting a Fault Action
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameters 18 - [Comm Flt Action] and 19 - [Idle Flt Action] let you
determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if
communications are disrupted or the scanner is idle. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You can set these parameters so that the drive
continues to run. 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
faulted controller).
