Allen Bradley 22-COMM-E Ethernet/IP Adapter PowerFlex 40

Product Details

Communications Modules

EtherNet - The 22-COMM-E EtherNet/IP adapter provides an internal EtherNet/IP connection for PowerFlex 40 drives. The adapter allows the drive to be controlled, configured, and data to be collected via an EtherNet/IP network. Web services are also provided and pages can be viewed with standard web browsers. The adapter also supports "Multi-Drive", a unique feature to Allen-Bradley. Multi-Drive allows up to five PowerFlex component class drives to connect to a single node on EtherNet/IP. Benefits include reduced hardware costs and a means to connect PowerFlex 4 drives to EtherNet/IP.
User configurable process display window
TCP/IP configuration (monitor only)
Email notification on fault, fault clear, and/or when the adapter takes its comm or idle fault actions
Monitoring device information, diagnostics and event queue
Direct launching of DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive on user's PC to connect on-line over EtherNet
DeviceNet - The PowerFlex 40 (not the PowerFlex 4) can be integrated with Allen-Bradley PLC Architectures using this optional DeviceNet communications module.
Network - The PowerFlex 70 can be integrated with PLC Architectures using these communications modules which fit neatly inside the PowerFlex 70.

Note

A comms option cover is also needed for EtherNet & DeviceNet modules – choose the cover to match the PowerFlex 40 frame size (B or C).
