1-2 Getting Started
The DeviceNet adapter features the following:
•The adapter is mounted in the PowerFlex drive. It receives the
required power from the drive and from the DeviceNet network.
•Switches let you 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 features.
•Captive screws are used to secure and ground 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, network software such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, or
drive-configuration software such as DriveExplorer (version 2.01 or
higher) or DriveTools 2000 (version 1.xx or higher).
•Status indicators report the status of the drive communications,
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 and UCMM (Unconnected Message Manager) Messages are
supported.
•Multiple data exchange methods, including Polled, Cyclic, and
Change of State (COS), can be used to transmit data between the
network and adapter.
•Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchies can be set up so that the
adapter and connected PowerFlex drive transmit data to and from
either a scanner or another PowerFlex drive on the network.
•User-defined fault actions determine how the adapter and PowerFlex
drive respond to communication disruptions on the network and
controllers in idle mode.
•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 set the data rate switch to
“PGM” (Program). With the PGM setting, the adapter uses
parameter settings for the data rate and node address instead of
switch settings.

1-4 Getting Started
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
Safety Precautions
!
ATTENTION: 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 product using a
DeviceNet adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or
equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: 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 a DeviceNet adapter.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or
SCANport host products must not be directly connected together via
1202 cables. Unpredictable behavior due to timing and other internal
procedures can result if two or more devices are connected in this
manner.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
DeviceNet 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 an adapter.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action],11 - [Idle Flt Action], and 34 -
[Peer Flt Action] let you determine the action of the adapter and
connected PowerFlex drive if communications are disrupted. By
default, these parameters fault the PowerFlex drive. You can set these
parameters so that the PowerFlex drive continues to run. Precautions
should be taken to ensure that the settings of these parameters do not
create a hazard of injury or equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: Hazard 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.
!
ATTENTION: Hazard 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 does not assume responsibility or
liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use of the
examples shown in this publication.

2-6 Installing the Adapter
1. Close the door or reinstall the cover on the drive. The status
indicators can be viewed on the front of the drive after power has
been applied.
2. Ensure that the adapter will have a unique address on the network
and is set at the correct data rate or to autobaud. If a new data rate or
address is needed, reset its switches (refer to Commissioning the
Adapter in this chapter).
3. Apply power to the network.
4. Apply power to the PowerFlex drive. The adapter receives its power
from the connected drive and network. When you apply power to the
product and network for the first time, the status indicators should be
green after an initialization. If the status indicators go red, there is a
problem. Refer to Chapter 7,Troubleshooting.
5. If the data rate switch is set to “PGM,” use a configuration tool to set
the data rate and node address parameters in the adapter (Chapter 3,
Configuring the Adapter). If you are using RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet, you need to create a point-to-point connection to the
drive.
6. Apply power to the master device (scanner) and other devices on the
network.
Applying Power
!
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death exists.
Unpredictable operation may occur if you fail to verify that parameter
settings and switch settings are compatible with your application.
Verify that settings are compatible with your application before
applying power to the drive.
