User Manual

Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. “Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation
and Maintenance of Solid State Controls” (Publication SGI-1.1) describes some
important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired
electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying
this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this
equipment is acceptable.
In no event will the Allen-Bradley Company be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative
purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any
particular installation, the Allen-Bradley Company cannot assume responsibility or
liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Allen-Bradley Company with respect to use of
information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written
permission of the Allen-Bradley Company is prohibited.
Throughout this manual we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.
Attentions help you:
•identify a hazard
•avoid the hazard
•recognize the consequences
Important: Identifies information that is especially important for successful
application and understanding of the product.
!
ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or circumstances
that can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic
loss.
Shock Hazard labels may be located on or inside the drive to alert
people that dangerous voltage may be present.

1-2 Getting Started
The LonWorks adapter features the following:
•The adapter is mounted in the drive and receives its required power
from the drive.
•Status indicators report the status of the drive communications,
adapter, and network. They are visible both when the drive cover is
opened and when it is closed.
•Based on the LonMark Functional Profile: “Variable Speed Motor
Drive: 6010.”
•Send and receive Datalink data.
•Read/write access to parameters is available. You can configure and
monitor parameter values over the networks.
•User-defined fault actions let you determine how the adapter and
drive respond to communication disruptions on the network.
•LonMark conformance tested.
•Flash-upgradable.
DPI (Drive Peripheral Interface) is a second generation peripheral
communication interface and a functional enhancement to SCANport.
The LonWorks adapter is compatible with specific Allen-Bradley
PowerFlex 7-Class drives. At the time of publication, compatible
products include:
•PowerFlex 70 drives
•PowerFlex 700 (Standard) drives
The PowerFlex 70/700 are used for examples in this manual. Refer to the
respective user manuals for additional information.
Important: The LonWorks adapter will only work with the above
specified products. It will NOT work with other products
susch as PowerFlex 700S, PowerFlex 7000, and PowerFlex
700 Vector.

❑A 2.54 cm (1 in.) and a 15.24 cm (6 in.) Internal Interface cable
(only one cable is needed to connect the adapter to the drive)
❑One grounding wrist strap
❑This manual

Safety Precautions
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only
qualified electrical 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 LonWorks adapter. Read and understand this manual in its
entirety before proceeding. Failure to comply may result in injury and/
or equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The drive may contain
high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power from the
drive, and then verify power has been removed before installing or
removing a LonWorks adapter.

1-4 Getting Started
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or
SCANport host products must not be directly connected via 1202
cables. Unpredictable behavior due to timing and other internal
procedures can result if two or more hosts are connected in this manner.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the
LonWorks 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.
Parameter 6 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action of the
adapter and connected drive if communications are disrupted. By
default, this parameter faults the drive. You can set this parameter so
that the drive continues to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure
that the setting of this parameter does not create a hazard of injury or
equipment damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your
system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a
disconnected cable).
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter
7 - [RcvHrtBeat Time] lets you determine how long it will take your
adapter to detect network communication losses. By default, this
parameter is set to 120 seconds. You can set it so that the duration is
shorter, longer, or disabled. Take precautions to ensure that the setting
does 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).
!
ATTENTION: 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.
!
ATTENTION: 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 does not assume responsibility or
liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use of the
examples shown in this publication.
!
ATTENTION: 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, refer to Guarding Against
Electrostatic Damage, Publication 8000-4.5.2.
