Designed for internal mounting or installation via a DPI external communications kit, the module bridges drive parameter data to ControlNet networks operating at a fixed data rate of 5 Mbps. Data transfer execution supports up to 20 simultaneous CIP messaging connections and up to 400 total I\/O packets per second (200 in and 200 out) powered by a 275 mA current draw at 5 VDC from the host drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuffix Breakdown \u0026amp; Model Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuffix \/ Feature Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specification \/ Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20-COMM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowerFlex DPI Internal Communication Option Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControlNet Protocol Network Interface Option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-COMM-C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen-Bradley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA \/ Global Manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 kg (1.10 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103 x 80 x 16 mm (4.06 x 3.15 x 0.63 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10 to 50 deg C (14 to 122 deg F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e275 mA at 5 VDC (1.375 W supplied by host drive\/DPI kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork Protocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControlNet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eData Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Mbps (fixed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacket Throughput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 400 total I\/O packets\/sec (200 in \/ 200 out)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 simultaneous CIP connections; 1 exclusive-owner, up to 3 redundant-owner, or 1 listen-only I\/O connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHumidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 to 95% non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeterministic Network Velocity \u0026amp; Backplane Bus Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAllen-Bradley 20-COMM-C\u003c\/strong\u003e maintains deterministic signal synchronization across host PowerFlex drive backplanes, ensuring stable backplane bus communication velocity during intensive parameter transfers. Internal processing logic provides firmware flash compatibility for real-time controller updates and cyclic I\/O assembly routing. Network frame processing logic isolates drive control execution loops from transient bus traffic, enabling steady state motor regulation across high-density PLC topologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How is primary operating power delivered to the communication adapter board?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Power is drawn directly from the host PowerFlex drive or the DPI external communications kit via the DPI ribbon cable interface, consuming 275 mA at 5 VDC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What are the limits on concurrent I\/O connections supported over the ControlNet network?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The adapter supports 20 simultaneous CIP messaging connections, unlimited input-only I\/O connections, and either 1 exclusive-owner I\/O connection, up to 3 redundant-owner I\/O connections, or 1 listen-only I\/O connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure input power to the host PowerFlex drive is disconnected and line capacitors are fully discharged prior to opening the chassis cover. Install the 20-COMM-C module firmly into the drive's designated DPI internal option slot or DPI external communications kit, verifying full pin engagement of the multi-pin connector. Align coaxial RG-6 ControlNet BNC cables through panel wireways away from high-voltage AC motor conductors to mitigate electromagnetic interference. Ground the host drive frame to the central enclosure grounding bus to prevent ground potential variations from affecting communication signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48759256875198,"sku":"20-COMM-C","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/1145\/5422\/files\/20-COMM-C_1200x1200_54bbccdc-a540-4b74-90af-d743228d5757.jpg?v=1787130186","url":"https:\/\/www.autooiltech.com\/products\/allen-bradley-20-comm-c-powerflex-controlnet-adapter","provider":"AutoOilTech Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
