POWERFLEX COMPONENT CLASS DEVICENET ADAPTER – 22-COMM-D

Description

Overview

The POWERFLEX COMPONENT CLASS DEVICENET ADAPTER – 22-COMM-D enables DeviceNet connectivity for PowerFlex 40 drives. Moreover, it simplifies communication between single or multiple drives. This adapter improves system efficiency while reducing hardware costs in industrial automation environments.

Compact and Functional Design

The 22-COMM-D features three LED status indicators, a 20-pin DSI connector, a 5-pin DeviceNet connector, node address selector switches, and a mode jumper. Therefore, it provides clear status feedback and easy configuration. Its compact design allows flexible integration into existing control systems.

Single-Drive Operation

For single-drive operation, the spare part supports one drive per node. Moreover, it ensures seamless communication between the PowerFlex 40 drive and connected controllers. Consequently, operators can implement precise control without additional hardware complexity.

Multi-Drive Operation

In multi-drive setups, one 22-COMM-D adapter may control up to five drives using daisy-chain RS-485 communication interfaces. This configuration reduces node count and overall adapter costs. Furthermore, multi-drive operation supports both PowerFlex 40 and PowerFlex 4 series drives, providing flexible control solutions.

Cost-Efficient Communication

Using the 22-COMM-D, hardware requirements and system complexity are significantly lowered. For example, thirty drives in a multi-drive configuration require only six nodes compared to thirty nodes in single-drive setups. Therefore, system installation becomes more cost-effective and easier to manage.
