1-4 Getting Started

Please read the following safety precautions carefully.

Safety Precautions

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove power from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify power has been discharged before installing or removing an adapter.

!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 an adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.

!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.

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the 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 02 - [Comm Loss Action] lets you determine the action of the adapter and connected PowerFlex drive if communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the PowerFlex 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 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.

Getting Started 1-5

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 03 - [Comm Loss Time] lets you determine how long it will take the adapter to detect network communication losses. By default, this parameter sets the timeout to ten seconds. You can set it so that the duration is shorter, longer, or disabled. When set to disabled, this also disables adapter Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action]. Therefore, a communications fault action will be ignored. 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. The examples in this publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation, Inc. does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this publication.

Setting the TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS Switches

The adapter’s TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS switches (Figure 2.2) are used to turn on/off its built-in termination resistor and bias resistors.

Figure 2.2 Setting the TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS Switches

Since nodes on a BACnet MS/TP network are typically a mix of Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives and other brands of building automation products, the network node locations for the PowerFlex drives will determine how their adapter’s TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS switches should be set.

Network with PowerFlex Drives at Starting and/or Ending Nodes

For a network with PowerFlex drives at the starting and/or ending nodes (Figure 2.3), set their 20-COMM-B adapter’s TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS switches to the “Down” (On) position. All other PowerFlex drive network nodes must have these switches set to the “Up” (Off) position.

Figure 2.3 Example Network with PowerFlex Drives at Starting and/or Ending Nodes

Network with PowerFlex Drives at Other Nodes

For a network with PowerFlex drives at other node locations — not starting and/or ending nodes (Figure 2.4), set the TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS switches to the “Up” (Off) position. In this network scenario, other brands of building automation products at the starting and/or ending nodes require appropriate termination and bias resistors. Refer to their instruction documentation for details.

Configuring/Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 7-Class drive can be separately configured for the control and reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the drive to have its control come from a peripheral or terminal block with the reference coming from the BACnet MS/TP network. Or you could set the drive to have its control come from the BACnet MS/TP network with the reference coming from another peripheral or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both its control and reference come from the BACnet MS/TP network.

The following steps in this section assume that the drive will receive the Logic Command and Reference from the BACnet MS/TP network.

1. Using drive Parameter 090 - [Speed Ref A Sel], set the drive speed Reference to “22” (DPI Port 5).

2. Verify that drive Parameter 213 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the source of the Reference to the drive is “22” (DPI Port 5). This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded Speed]. If a problem occurs, this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to determine whether the drive/adapter or the network is the cause.

1. Remove power from the drive.

2. Use static control precautions, and remove or open the drive cover.

3. Connect a shielded, twisted wire pair to the network, and route it through the bottom of the drive (see Figure 2.6).

4. Connect the twisted wire pair and its shield to the 3-pin linear plug (provided with the adapter). See Figure 2.8 for terminal designations and typical terminal connections.

Connecting the Drive/Adapter to the Network

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove power from the drive, and then verify power has been removed before installing or removing an adapter.

5. Insert the 3-pin linear plug into the mating adapter socket.

6. Install or close the drive cover.

7. Apply power to the drive.

8. Verify that adapter Parameter 07 - [Baud Rate Act] is reporting the actual network baud rate. If not, use Parameter 06 - [Baud Rate Cfg] to set the adapter to a fixed baud rate that matches the network baud rate.

Configuring the Adapter 3-3

While there are many ways to implement Device Instance and network strategies, the example shown in Figure 3.1 illustrates one logical approach.

In this example, two individual Floor Level Networks are connected to the Building Level Network through a router which allows devices on each network to share the same MAC address. However, each device on the network must have a unique Device Instance which, in this case, consists of 4 digits. The first digit (in bold) represents the Building or Floor number. The last 3 digits represent the device’s set MAC address.

By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), 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 02 - [Comm Loss Action].

To change the Comm Loss Action

Set the value of Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action] to the desired response action:

Figure 3.3 Comm Loss Action Screen on an LCD HIM

Changes to this parameter take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Setting a Comm Loss Action

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss 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. Take precautions to ensure that the setting of this parameter 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).

Value Action Description0 Fault The drive is faulted and stopped. (Default)1 Stop The drive is stopped, but not faulted.2 Zero Data The drive is sent 0 for output data. This does not command a stop.3 Hold Last The drive continues in its present state.4 Send Flt Cfg The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault configuration

parameters (Parameter 04 - [Flt Cfg Logic] and Parameter 05 - [Flt Cfg Ref]).

To set the fault configuration parameters

If you set Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action] to “Send Flt Cfg,” the values in the following parameters are sent to the drive after a communications fault occurs. You must set these parameters to values required by your application.

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Set Parameter 03 - [Comm Loss Time] to a communication loss timeout period suitable for your application. By default, the timeout is set to ten (10) seconds. You can increase or decrease this value. Alternatively, you can set the value to zero (0) to disable this timeout feature so that the adapter does not detect communication losses.

Figure 3.4 Comm Loss Time Screen on an LCD HIM

Changes to this parameter take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Parameter Name Description04 Flt Cfg Logic A 16-bit value sent to the drive for Logic Command. 05 Flt Cfg Ref A 32-bit value (0 – 4294967295) sent to the drive as a

Reference.

Important: If the drive uses a 16-bit Reference, the most significant word of the value must be set to zero (0) or a fault will occur.

Setting the Comm Loss Time

!ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 03 - [Comm Loss Time] lets you determine how long it will take the adapter to detect network communication losses. By default, this parameter sets the timeout to ten (10) seconds. You can set it so that the duration is shorter, longer, or disabled. When set to disabled, this also disables adapter Parameter 02 - [Comm Loss Action]. Therefore, a communications fault action will be ignored. 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).

The value of Parameter 06 - [Baud Rate Cfg] determines the baud rate used by the adapter. The Autobaud setting will detect the baud rate used on the network if another device is setting the baud rate. Your application may require a different setting.

1. Set the value of Parameter 06 - [Baud Rate Cfg] to the baud rate at which your network is operating.

Figure 3.5 Baud Rate Screen on PowerFlex 4-Class HIM (22-HIM-*)

2. Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter) so that the new baud rate takes effect.

Changes to switch settings or some adapter parameters require that you reset the adapter before the new settings take effect. You can reset the adapter by cycling power to the drive or by using Parameter 01 - [Reset Module].

Set Parameter 01 - [Reset Module] to Reset Module.

Chapter 4

Using BACnet Objects

Chapter 4 provides information about controlling a compatible PowerFlex 7-Class drive using BACnet objects.

BACnet nodes are controlled and monitored by the use of several types of objects. The BACnet controller performs read and write commands to these objects, and the adapter transfers/translates the data between these objects and the drive.

When a read or write command occurs to a specific object, data in the object is refreshed from or transferred to the drive.

The BACnet object types that are supported by the adapter are:

• Analog Input (AI)• Analog Output (AO)• Analog Value (AV)• Binary Input (BI)• Binary Output (BO)• Binary Value (BV)

Topic PageUnderstanding BACnet Objects 4-1Basic Drive Operation on the Network 4-2Supported BACnet Objects 4-3

Understanding BACnet Objects

4-2 Using BACnet Objects

This section describes how to operate a drive on the network using a combination of BACnet object types for basic control.

Basic Drive Control (Start/Stop)

1. Write a speed reference value (in %) to the Reference 1 Analog Value object (AV0) Present Value property.

2. To start the drive, write a value of “1” to the Run/Stop Binary Value object (BV10) Present Value property.

3. To stop the drive, write a value of “0” (zero) to the Run/Stop Binary Value object (BV10) Present Value property.

Using an Alternate Speed Reference

To assign an alternate speed reference to the drive:

1. Write a speed reference value (in %) to the Reference 2 Analog Value object (AV1) Present Value property.

2. Write a value of “1” to the Ref2/Ref1 Binary Value object (BV12) Present Value property.

Changing Motor Rotation Direction

To command a reverse direction of motor rotation when the drive is running, write a value of “1” to the Rev/Fwd Binary Value object (BV11) Present Value property. To command a forward direction when the drive is running, write a value of “0” (zero) to the Rev/Fwd Binary Value object (BV11) Present Value property.

Clearing a Drive Fault

To clear a drive fault, write a value of “1” to the Clear Faults Binary Value object (BV13) Present Value property.

Basic Drive Operation on the Network

!ATTENTION: Control information written to the adapter by a BACnet controller is volatile. That is, it will not survive an adapter reset or power cycle. For example, if a BACnet controller writes to a Binary Output (BO) object to energize an output relay on the drive and then that drive is reset or power cycled, the drive will return the relay to its default (de-energized) state. The adapter will not attempt to restore the relay to the energized state unless a BACnet controller writes to it again.

Using BACnet Objects 4-3

The type of drive used on the network determines the specific BACnet objects that are supported. Refer to Table 4.A for descriptions of the BACnet objects and the drives supporting those objects.

5-2 Troubleshooting

PORT Status Indicator

State Cause Corrective ActionsOff The adapter is not powered or

is not properly connected to the drive.

• Securely connect the adapter to the drive using the Internal Interface (ribbon) cable.

• Apply power to the drive (or adapter if mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit).

Flashing Red

The adapter is not receiving a ping message from the drive.

• Verify that cables are securely connected and not damaged. Replace cables if necessary.

• Cycle power to the drive (or adapter if mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit).

Solid Red The drive has refused an I/O connection from the adapter.Another DPI peripheral is using the same DPI port as the adapter.

Important: Cycle power to the drive (or adapter if mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit) after making the following correction:

• Verify that all DPI cables on the drive are securely connected and not damaged. Replace cables if necessary.

Orange The adapter is connected to a product that does not support Rockwell Automation DPI communications.

Connect the adapter to a product that supports Allen-Bradley DPI communications (for example, a PowerFlex 70 or PowerFlex 700 drive).

Flashing Green

The adapter is establishing an I/O connection to the drive.

No action required.

Solid Green The adapter is properly connected and is communicating with the drive.

No action required.

Troubleshooting 5-3

MOD Status Indicator


is not properly connected to the drive.


• Apply power to the drive (or adapter if mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit).

Flashing Red

The adapter has failed the firmware test.

• Cycle power to the drive (or adapter if mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit).

• If cycling power does not correct the problem, the adapter parameter settings may have been corrupted. Reset defaults and reconfigure the adapter.

• If resetting defaults does not correct the problem, flash the adapter with the latest firmware release.

Flashing Green

The adapter is operational, but is not transferring I/O data.

Enable the network device that is providing control to the adapter.

Solid Green The adapter is operational and transferring I/O data.

No action required.

5-4 Troubleshooting

NET A Status Indicator


is not properly connected to the network.


• Correctly connect the network cable to the adapter’s network connector.

• Apply power to the drive (or adapter if mounted in a DPI External Comms Kit) and network.

Flashing Red

A network connection has timed out.

• Enable the network device that is providing control to the adapter.

• Check the amount of traffic on the network.

Flashing Green

The adapter is properly connected and communicating on the network.

No action required. The LED will flash green each time the token is passed to the adapter by another BACnet device.

NET B Status Indicator

State Cause Corrective ActionsOff Adapter is not powered, or is

not transmitting on the network.

If NET A indicator is off:

• Securely connect the adapter to the drive using the Internal Interface (ribbon) cable, and to the network using the appropriate network cable.

• Correctly connect the network cable to the adapter’s network connector.

Normal condition if the adapter is idle.Flashing Green

The adapter is transmitting on the network.

No action required.

Troubleshooting 5-5

The following adapter diagnostic items can be viewed using DriveExplorer (version 3.01 or higher) or DriveExecutive (version 3.01 or higher) software, or an LCD PowerFlex HIM (Diagnostic/Device Items).

5-6 Troubleshooting

Adapter Diagnostic Items

If you encounter unexpected communications problems, diagnostic items can help you or Rockwell Automation personnel troubleshoot the problem.

No. Name Description1 Common Logic

CmdThe present value of the Common Logic Command being transmitted to the drive by this adapter.

2 Prod Logic Cmd The present value of the Product Logic Command being transmitted to the drive by this adapter.

3 Reference The present value of the Reference being transmitted to the drive by this adapter. Note that a 16-bit value will be sent as the Most Significant Word of the 32-bit field.

4 Common Logic Sts

The present value of the Common Logic Status being received from the drive by this adapter.

5 Prod Logic Sts The present value of the Product Logic Status being received from the drive by this adapter.

6 Feedback The present value of the Feedback being received from the drive by this adapter. Note that a 16-bit value will be sent as the Most Significant Word of the 32-bit field.

7 DPI Port The port to which the adapter is connected (usually port 5).8 DPI Data Rate The data rate used by the drive and detected by the adapter.9 Ref/Fdbk Size The size of the Reference/Feedback used by the drive.10 DPI Rx Errors The present value of the DPI CAN Receive error counter register.11 DPI Rx Error Max The maximum value of the DPI CAN Receive error counter register.

Because the CAN interface controller on the adapter does not track the maximum error register values, the adapter periodically polls the CAN controller’s Receive error counter register and reports the maximum value it has read in this diagnostic instance.

12 DPI Tx Errors The present value of the DPI CAN Transmit error counter register.13 DPI Tx Error Max The maximum value of the DPI CAN Transmit error counter register.

Because the CAN interface controller on the adapter does not track the maximum error register values, the adapter periodically polls the CAN controller’s Transmit error counter register and reports the maximum value it has read in this diagnostic instance.

14 Boot Flash Count The number of times the boot firmware in this adapter has been flash updated.

15 App Flash Count The number of times the application firmware in this adapter has been flash updated.

16 MAC Addr SW The MAC Address selected by the DIP switches (SW1-SW7) on the adapter. This value is not latched when the adapter powers up, and will update as the switch settings are changed.

17 BN Rx Packets The number of BACnet packets received by the adapter.18 BN Tx Packets The number of BACnet packets transmitted by the adapter.19 BN Overrun Errs A count of the number of BACnet receive overrun errors.20 BN Framing Errs A count of the number of BACnet receive framing errors.21 BN CRC Errs A count of the number of BACnet receive CRC errors.

Troubleshooting 5-7
