Applying Power

Step 1.

Close the door or reinstall the cover on the drive. The
status indicators can be viewed on the front of the drive
after power has been applied.

Step 2.

Ensure that the module will have a unique address on the
network and is set at the correct data rate. If a new data
rate or address is needed, reset the switches (refer to
Commissioning the Module, section 3.2).

Step 3.

Apply power to the drive. The module receives its power
from the connected drive. When you apply power to the
product for the first time, the status indicators should be
green after an initialization. If there is a problem, refer to
chapter 6.

Step 4.

If the Data Rate switch is set to “PGM,” use a
configuration tool to set the data rate and node address
parameters in the module (refer to chapter 4, Configuring
the RS485 DF1 Module).

Step 5.

Verify that the master and network are installed and
functioning in accordance with RS485 DF1 standards.

!

ATTENTION: Unpredictable operation may occur
if parameter settings and switch settings are not
compatible with your application. Verify that
settings are compatible with your application
before applying power to the drive. Failure to
observe these precautions could result in severe
bodily injury of loss of life.
