Getting Started
The PROFIBUS adapter features the following:
•
The adapter is mounted in the PowerFlex drive. It receives the
required power from the drive.
•
Switches let you set a node address before applying power to the
PowerFlex drive. Alternatively, you can disable the switches and use
parameters to configure this feature.
•
Captive screws are used to secure the adapter to the drive.
•
A number of configuration tools can be used to configure the adapter
and connected drive. The tools include the PowerFlex HIM on the
drive, or drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer
(version 2.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version 1.01 or higher).
•
Status indicators report the status of the drive, adapter, and network.
They are visible both when the cover is opened and when it is closed.
•
I/O, including Logic Command/Reference and up to four pairs of
Datalinks, may be configured for your application using a parameter.
•
Explicit messages are supported using the Parameter Protocol.
•
User-defined fault actions determine how the adapter and PowerFlex
drive respond to communication disruptions on the network and
controllers in idle mode.
The PROFIBUS adapter is compatible with Allen-Bradley PowerFlex
drives and other products that support DPI. DPI is a second generation
peripheral communication interface and is a functional enhancement to
SCANport. At the time of publication, compatible products include:
•
PowerFlex 70 drives
•
PowerFlex 700 drives
•
PowerFlex 7000 drives
