Integrating the inverter into a POWERLINK network

The following device topology is used in the example:

  • Higher-level controller (PLC) X20CP1585 from B&R Industrial Automation GmbH
  • MOVIGEAR® performance mechatronic drive unit with electronics cover DFC40A..
  • USM21A interface adapter

The startup of the other inverters in the MOVI‑C® modular automation system is performed in the same way.

The following figure is a schematic representation of the device topology:
