Communication Configuration
A PowerFlex® 700S drive with a communication option module can usually be
migrated to a PowerFlex 755T product with embedded EtherNet/IP or
compatible communication module. The process to migrate can vary
significantly depending on the communication option in the PowerFlex 700S
drive and the controller type communicating with the drive.
This section describes the PowerFlex 700S network options that are
compatible with PowerFlex 755T products. Because of the wide variety of
networks, processors, and drive options available, use this section to
understand the types of network communication that are available for
PowerFlex 755T products, and determine the correct communication option
for your drive migration.
In some cases, it is necessary to re-map and translate reference, status, control
and DataLink registers if 16-bit based processors such as PLC-5®, SLC™, or
certain MicroLogix™ controllers are communicating with the drive.
Use Table 67
to cross-reference the existing PowerFlex 700S communication
module to a compatible PowerFlex 750-series communication module. If your
existing communication protocol does not have a compatible PowerFlex 750-
series communication module, contact an authorized Rockwell Automation
Distributor specialist, Solution Partner, Recognized System Integrator or
Rockwell Automation account manager to discuss engineered solutions for
custom migrations.
IMPORTANT Refer to the respective communication adapter user manuals. The manuals
provide important configuration, installation, wiring, and programming
processes required for proper operation.
