Installing the X5EIP01 Ethernet IP Option Board
with 115 VAC Encoder Interface

Introduction

The X5 frequency converters can be connected to Ethernet using an Ethernet IP option board, the X5EIP01.

Every device connected to an Ethernet network has two identifiers: a MAC address and an IP address. The MAC
address (formatted as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where xx is a hexadecimal byte) is unique to the device and cannot be
changed. The Ethernet board’s MAC address can be found on the sticker attached to the board or by using various
network configuration tools.

In a local network, IP addresses can be defined by a user as long as all units connected to the network are given the
same network portion of the address. For more information about IP addresses, contact your Network
Administrator. Overlapping IP addresses cause conflicts between devices.

The X5EIP01 also provides the option of controlling the X5 AC drive from 115 VAC control signals, or of connecting a
shaft-mounted encoder to the drive to improve speed regulation. Up to five channels of 115 VAC control are available
for use in selecting direction, preset speeds, or other drive functions.

With this option, an encoder with a nominal rating of up to 2048 pulses per revolution can be connected to the X5
unit to improve speed load regulation of the drive. Overall encoder frequency at maximum process speed must be
limited to 100kHz.

This option also provides two additional control relays, each rated for 115 VAC, 1 amp, or for 230 VAC, 0.5 amp.

NOTE: This network communication interface included with the X5 option is warranted
to meet the core specifications for Modbus TCP. Many existing software applications are
custom-engineered and may contain “brand-specific” communication that will not be
supported by the X5 without modification. No guarantee of compatibility with any
specific system is made. The user is responsible for any interface software and
hardware needed to make an application function.

Installation Procedures

SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT

This assembly contains static-sensitive components. It should be handled only by a static-safe installer,
using a grounded wrist strap.

Failure to observe this precaution may cause premature equipment failure.

!

DANGER

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE

• Disconnect all power before servicing a drive unit or its components. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC
bus capacitors discharge.

• Ensure that any other power sources that may feed control logic have been disconnected.

• DO NOT short across DC bus capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw
connections with voltage present.

• Install all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.

• The user is responsible for conforming to all applicable code requirements with respect to grounding
all equipment.

• Many parts in a drive, including printed circuit boards, operate at line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use
only electrically-insulated tools.

Before servicing any drive.

• Disconnect all power.

• Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the drive disconnect.

• Lock the disconnect in the open position.

Failure to observe these precautions will cause shock or burn, resulting in severe personal injury
or death.

Before you can install the option board, you must first remove the drive cover.

Figure 2 shows the locations of the cover screws. The torque range for the X5 Size 1 cover is 18-26 in/lbs.

The option board is installed just above the control board in all configurations (a Size 1 unit is shown in Figure 3 for
reference). The screws labeled “A” must be removed from the X5; those labeled “B” need only to be loosened to
accept the board slot.

Next, install the flexible circuit to finish the interface to the control board. (Refer to Figure 4.) To install the flexible
circuit, first remove the keypad frame (necessary in this size unit). The frame is attached with two screws in opposite
corners; the screws thread into fasteners in the plastic assembly. After the flexible circuit is installed, replace these
screws, limiting the installation torque to 12 in-lbs..

115 VAC logic input; connect input to 115 VAC to activate.
The programmable functionality of these inputs is controlled by

parameters 728, 729, 730, 731, and 732. Each of these inputs can be
disabled or configured to emulate the function of the FWD, REV, R/J, EN,
MOL, DI1, DI2, DI3, DI4, or DI5 input terminals on the X5 control board.

Refer to the X5 User’s Manual for more information (DPD 00089).

The third auxiliary relay.
The function of this relay is set by parameter 709. Functionally, it is

capable of each of the features outlined in the X5 user manual under
parameters 705-708.

Terminal NO3 is a normally-open contact; it closes when the relay
activates. NC3 is a normally-closed contact; it opens when the relay
activates. RC3 is the common terminal associated with both contacts.

The ratings of these contacts are 115 VAC, 1 amp; and 230 VAC, 0.5 amp.

The fourth auxiliary relay.
The function of this relay is set by parameter 710. Functionally, it is

capable of each of the features outlined in the X5 user manual under
parameters 705-708.

Terminal NO4 is a normally-open contact; it closes when the relay
activates. NC4 is a normally-closed contact; it opens when the relay
activates. RC4 is the common terminal associated with both contacts.

The ratings of these contacts are 115 VAC, 1 amp; and 230 VAC, 0.5 amp.

Channel A input from the encoder. Compatible with line driver, open
collector, or totem pole outputs from an encoder. If it is an open collector
or totem pole-type, encoder outputs are used; connect the A- terminal to
Ecom.

Channel B input from the encoder. Compatible with line driver, open
collector, or totem pole outputs from an encoder. If it is an open collector
or totem pole-type, encoder outputs are used; connect the B- terminal to
Ecom.

Channel C input from the encoder, the home pulse. Compatible with line
driver, open collector, or totem pole outputs from an encoder. If it is an
open collector or totem pole-type, encoder outputs are used; connect the
C- terminal to Ecom.

Power supply terminal for use with a customer-supplied encoder. It can
be either +12 VDC or +5 VDC based on the position of the encoder interface
power supply selector shown in Figure 1. Voltage regulation: +/- 5%;
maximum current available is 100 mA.

Note that the connections described in Table 1 work only when the encoder has an internal pull-up resistor on the
open collector. Alternatively, it might be preferable to pull the + channel high, and attach the open collector to the ­channel. For example, if using Channel A, A+ on the option board would be tied to VDC, and A- would be connected
to the open collector coming from the encoder. The advantage in this method is that no pull-up/down resistors are
needed; if the encoder has an internal pull-up, this does not affect anything.
