Appendix D
Routing Capability for Networked
Drives
Appendix D provides information about the unique routing capability for
up to 127 PowerFlex 4/4M/40/400 drives on a BACnet MS/TP network
when using the DriveExplorer (Full version only) drive software tool.
First, configure the 22-COMM-B adapter in each networked drive (or
DSI External Comms Kit) using the procedures described in Chapter 2
.
(NOTE: To be compatible with PowerFlex 4M drives, the 22-COMM-B
adapter must have firmware version 1.003 or later.) Then use a 1203-USB
or 22-SCM-232 converter to connect the first networked drive to a laptop
or desktop PC with DriveExplorer Full. Thereafter, you can use
DriveExplorer Full to route to any drive on the BACnet MS/TP network
to configure or monitor the drive or any of its connected peripherals.
