Key Features: Internal Mounting: Mounts internally within the drive, saving panel space and allowing for field installation.  Multiple Configuration Tools: Compatible with various tools such as the PowerFlex DPI HIM, DriveExplorer™, and DriveExecutive™ for flexible configuration.  DPI Routing: Enables DriveExplorer to connect to a PowerFlex drive using a 1203-SSS or 1203-USB converter and route over EtherNet/IP to access other Allen-Bradley drives, eliminating the need for separate network connections.  I/O Messaging: Supports time-critical data transfer, including Logic Command/Reference, Logic Status/Feedback, and up to 8 parameters via datalinks.  Explicit Messaging: Allows non-time-critical information exchange, facilitating reading/writing of parameters in the drive and connected DPI peripherals.  Web Interface: Accessible via web browsers like Microsoft® Internet Explorer™, offering TCP/IP configuration, Ethernet diagnostics, email notifications for specific faults or alarms, and DPI backplane browsing.  Peer-to-Peer Capability: Enables a PowerFlex drive to operate as a "master," communicating with other PowerFlex drives functioning as "followers," sharing control, speed reference data, and parameter values. User-Configurable Fault Responses: Allows selection of actions for conditions such as scanner idle states or communication disruptions.  Firmware Updates: Supports updates using tools like DriveExplorer or ControlFLASH to incorporate new features as they become available.  Data Rates: Supports 10 Mbps Full Duplex, 10 Mbps Half Duplex, 100 Mbps Full Duplex, and 100 Mbps Half Duplex.  TCP Connections: Accommodates up to 30 TCP connections.  Request Packet Interval (RPI): Minimum of 5 ms, handling up to 400 total I/O packets per second (200 in and 200 out).  Power Consumption: Consumes 350 mA at 5V DC, supplied by the host drive or DPI External Comms Kit.  Operating Temperature: -10 to 50 °C (14 to 122 °F).  Storage Temperature: -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F).  Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing.  The 20-COMM-E adapter is ideal for industrial applications requiring seamless integration of PowerFlex drives into EtherNet/IP networks, providing enhanced control, monitoring, and data collection capabilities.
