1.The frequency converter must be disconnected
from mains before carrying out repair work.
Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed
before removing motor and mains plugs.
2.The o-command on the serial bus does not
disconnect the equipment from mains and should
not be used as a safety switch.
3.Correct protective earthing or grounding of the
equipment must be established. The user must
be protected against supply voltage, and the
motor must be protected against overload in
accordance with applicable national and local
regulations.
4.The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5
mA.
5.Do not remove the plugs for the motor and
mains supply while the frequency converter is
connected to mains. Check that the mains supply
has been disconnected and that the necessary
time has passed before removing motor and
mains plugs.

It has been assumed that all devices are sitting behind a
rewall that does packet ltering and the environment has
implemented restrictions on the software that can run
inside the rewall. All nodes are assumed to be "trusted"
nodes.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous
whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of
the motor, frequency converter, or eldbus may damage
the equipment, cause serious personal injury, or death.
Consequently, the instructions in this manual, as well as
national and local rules and safety regulations, must be
complied with.
1.The motor can be brought to a stop with bus
commands while the frequency converter is
connected to mains. These stop functions do NOT
provide protection against unintended starts.
2.While parameters are being changed, there is a
risk that motor starts.
3.Electronic faults in the frequency converter and
cease of
temporary overload
•
faults in supply mains, or
•
fault in the motor connection
•
can cause an unintended start.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after
the equipment has been disconnected from mains.

2.1.2 Network
It is important that the media selected for Ethernet data
transmission meets the required properties. Usually CAT 5e
and six cables are recommended for industrial applications.
Both types are available as unscreened twisted pair and
screened twisted pair. Generally, screened cables are
recommended for use in industrial environments and with
frequency converters.
A maximum cable-length of 100 m is allowed between
network devices.

Table 2.6 L/C LED Pattern
The POWERLINK module features a built-in POWERLINK controlled node and a two-port hub. This module enables the
possibility for connecting several POWERLINK options in a line topology. If more than eight frequency converters are
connected in line, it requires special attention towards the timing in the network.
It is important in a POWERLINK system, that the connection is done correctly.
Take care that following design rules are followed
1.Do not connect any non-POWERLINK device (e.g.
a PC) to any free port as to avoid malfunction of
the complete POWERLINK network.
2.In a line topology, power all frequency converters
either by mains or by a 24 V DC option card, for
the built-in POWERLINK slave controller to work.
3.To achieve interference-free operation of the
Ethernet, observe the following EMC precautions.
The correct handling of the motor cable screen is
vital for the overall performance of the system. If
the rules are not followed, it leads to loss of the
control and malfunction of the system. The
Ethernet communication cable must be kept
away from motor and brake resistor cables to
avoid coupling of high frequency noise between
the cables. Normally, a minimum distance of 200
mm (8 inches) is sucient, but maintaining the
greatest possible distance between the cables is
recommended. Especially where cables run in
parallel, over long distances, or if frequency
converters with a bigger power size are installed.
More information can be found in the norm IEC
61000-5-2:1997.
4.When crossing of cables is unavoidable, the
Ethernet cable must cross motor and brake
resistor cables at an angle of 90°.
5.Always observe relevant national and local
regulations, for example regarding protective
earth connection.
2.1.6 EMC Precautions
To achieve interference-free operation of the Ethernet,
observe the following EMC precautions. Additional EMC
information is available in the VLT® AutomationDrive Design
Guide.
NOTICE
The correct handling of the motor cable screen is vital
for the overall performance of the system. If the rules are
not followed, it can lead to loss of the control and
malfunction of the system.
All IP-related parameters are located in parameter group

12-0* IP Settings: The parameters are all set to POWERLINK
standard values, so no setting is needed. In POWERLINK,
the parameter 12-00 IP Address Assignment is xed to the
option "From node ID". The IP address follows the setting
in parameter 12-60 Node ID, so that the IP address is
192.168.100.xxx, where xxx is the node ID. For
parameter 12-02 Subnet Mask, the IP addres is
255.255.255.0 and cannot be changed.
The POWERLINK option oers two ways of node ID
assignment via parameter or DIP switch.
