Information About 22-COMM-E

The Allen-Bradley 22-COMM-E is a compact, high-performance EtherNet/IP adapter that expands the communication capabilities of PowerFlex component-class drives. Once installed, it allows drives to communicate over EtherNet/IP at speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps, supporting both full- and half-duplex modes.

Designed for industrial environments, the adapter provides up to 30 simultaneous TCP connections, handles up to 400 total I/O packets per second, and supports a minimum Requested Packet Interval (RPI) of 5 ms, making it ideal for fast-response applications.

The 22-COMM-E includes built-in diagnostic web pages for drive and adapter information, configuration options, and status monitoring. It also supports configurable email notifications for drive fault and communication events. With four onboard status LEDs, technicians can quickly verify network, module, and DSI (Drive Serial Interface) health.

This adapter is fully compatible with standard Ethernet tools such as BOOTP/DHCP utilities and integrates seamlessly with Allen-Bradley PLCs via EtherNet/IP for real-time control and monitoring.

Key Features:

  • Provides EtherNet/IP connectivity for PowerFlex 4, 40, and 400 drives
  • Supports 10/100 Mbps, full or half duplex
  • Up to 400 total I/O packets per second
  • Supports 30 TCP/IP connections
  • Built-in web pages for diagnostics and configuration
  • DSI (20-pin) connector for drive interface
  • Email notification capability for fault/clear events
  • Four LED indicators for quick diagnostics
  • Compact, drive-mounted installation
  • BOOTP/DHCP support for IP configuration

A compact EtherNet/IP communication adapter that enhances PowerFlex Component-Class drives with high-speed networking, diagnostics, and flexible configuration capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions about 22-COMM-E
Question: What is the 22-COMM-E?
Date Update:04/06/2025
Answer:

The 22-COMM-E is an EtherNet/IP communication module designed for Allen-Bradley PowerFlex series drives. It allows these drives to communicate with Ethernet/IP networks, enabling integration with other Ethernet/IP-enabled devices, such as PLC controllers and HMIs. This module provides control, monitoring, and diagnostics over Ethernet.

Question: How do I perform a factory reset on the 22-COMM-E module?
Date Update:04/06/2025
Answer:

To perform a factory reset on the 22-COMM-E module:

  1. Power off the drive (and the 22-COMM-E module).
  2. Press and hold the Reset button on the module.
  3. Power on the drive while still holding the reset button.
  4. After approximately 10 seconds, release the reset button. The 22-COMM-E module will reset to its factory settings, clearing any IP address or configuration settings.

Refer to the user manual for additional steps if needed.

Question: What are the DIP switches on the 22-COMM-E, and how do I use them?
Date Update:04/06/2025
Answer:

The DIP switches on the 22-COMM-E module are used to configure certain parameters of the communication module, especially when initially setting up the module before network integration. These switches allow for:

  • Setting the IP address (in conjunction with other settings).
  • Configuring communication parameters such as network speeds.
  • Switches for setting DHCP or Static IP Address.
Question: What is the default IP address for the 22-COMM-E module?
Date Update:04/06/2025
Answer:

When the 22-COMM-E is set to DHCP mode, it will automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in the network. If Static IP mode is selected using the DIP switches, the module will be assigned a default static IP based on the DIP switch settings.

If the module has not been configured, the default IP address is often set to 169.254.0.100, which is a link-local address.

Question: Where can I find the user manual for the 22-COMM-E module?
Date Update:04/06/2025
Answer:

You can find the user manual for the 22-COMM-E module on the official Rockwell Automation website. Search for 22-COMM-E in the Product Documentation section to download the manual in PDF format. The manual contains detailed information on installation, wiring, DIP switch settings, configuration, and troubleshooting.
