Connectivity Guidelines
Refer to the drive user manual for specific DSI / MDI accessory part numbers.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The peripherals may
not perform as intended if these Connectivity Guidelines are not followed.
Precautions should be taken to follow these 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 DSI /
MDI keypads and Parameter 1 [Adapter 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 adapter 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).
