RJ45 Splitter Cable
The MD60 drive provides a RJ45 port to allow the connection of a
single peripheral device. The RJ45 Splitter Cable can be used to
connect a second MDI peripheral device to the drive.
Connectivity Guidelines
• Two peripherals maximum can be attached to a drive.
• If a single peripheral is used, it must be connected to the
Master port (M) on the splitter and configured for “Auto”
(default) or “Master.” Parameter 9 (Device Type) on the OIM
keypads and parameter 1 (Module Cfg) on the Serial Converter
are used to select the type (Auto / Master / Slave).
• Do not use the RJ45 Splitter Cable with a drive that has an
internal network communication module installed. Since
only one additional peripheral can be added, the second
peripheral can be connected directly to the RJ45 port on the
drive. The internal Comm is always the Master, therefore the
external peripheral must be configured as “Auto” (for temporary
connections) or “Slave” (for permanent connections).
• If two peripherals will be powered up at the same time, one
must be configured as the “Master” and connected to the
Master port (M) and the other must be connected as the “Slave”
and connected to the Slave port (S).
!
ATTENTION: The peripherals may not perform as intended if
these Connectivity Guidelines are not followed. Precautions
should be taken to follow these Connectivity Guidelines. Failure
to observe these precaution may result in damage to, or
destruction of, the equipment.
