Rockwell Automation DeviceNet Communications Module - Manual (Page 77)

Using Multi-Drive Mode 8-3
:
• Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) cannot be used with any
of the drives.
• The RSNetWorx Parameter editor cannot be used.
• 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-SC1 Splitter Cable cannot be used to add a
second connection for a peripheral device.
8.2 System Wiring
To daisy-chain the drives off the MD65 drive with the
MDCOMM-DNET module (Drive 0), use the AK-U0-RJ45-TB2P
terminal block connector (figure 8.3).
The wiring diagram for using AK-U0-RJ45-TB2P terminal block
connectors is shown in figure 8.4.
