Installing the
RS485 DF1 Module
Chapter 3 provides instructions for installing the module on an
SP600 drive.
3.1 Preparing for an Installation
Before installing the module, verify that you have all required
equipment. Refer to chapter 2, Getting Started, for a list of
equipment.
3.2 Commissioning the Module
To commission the module, you must set a unique node address on
the network, the data rate used by the network, and the error-
checking method. (Refer to the BCC and CRC entries in the
Glossary for more information about these error-checking
methods.)
Important: New settings are recognized only when power is
applied to the module or it is reset. If you change a
setting, cycle power or reset the module.
Important: To guard against device malfunction, you must wear a
grounding wrist strap when installing the module.
Step 1. Set the module’s node address by rotating the node
address switches to the desired value for each digit as
shown in figure 3.1.
Important: Each node on the network must have a unique
address.
!
ATTENTION: The RS485 DF1 module 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 module. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in damage to equipment.
