Installing the Adapter
This chapter provides instructions for installing the adapter in a
PowerFlex 520-series drive.
Preparing for an Installation Before installing the adapter, do the following:
• Read the PROFIBUS Installation Guideline for details on PROFIBUS
networks.
• Verify that you have all required equipment.
See
Required Equipment on page 9 .
Commissioning the Adapter To commission the adapter, you must set the Endianness and a unique node
address that is used by the network. See the
Glossary on page 85 for details about
node addresses.
There are two methods for configuring the adapter’s Endianness and node
address:
• Using the onboard DIP Switches;
• Using adapter parameters – Use adapter parameters when you want more
flexibility in setting up the node address. To set the node address using
adapter parameters, see
Setting the Node Address on page 25 .

IMPORTANT Regardless of the method used to set the adapter’s node address, each node on
the network must have a unique node address.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter contains ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not
follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when
handling the adapter. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see
