Rockwell Automation MD65 EtherNet/IP Communication Module - Manual (Page 67)

Using Multi-Drive Mode 8-3
• Since the RS-485 ports are used for daisy-chaining the drives,
there is no connection for a peripheral device such as an OIM.
The AK-U0-RJ45-SCI MDI Splitter Cable cannot be used to add a
connection for a peripheral device.
8.2 System Wiring
To daisy-chain the drives of the MD65 with the MDCOMM-ENET
module (Drive 0), the AK-U0-RJ45-TB2P terminal block connector
(Figure 8.3) can be used for easy installation.
