Installing the X5MBTCP01 Modbus TCP Option Board
with 115 VAC Encoder Interface

Introduction

The X5 frequency converters can be connected to Modbus TCP using a Modbus TCP option board, the X5MBTCP01.

Every device connected to a Modbus / TCP 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 Modbus / TCP 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 X5MBTCP01 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.

!

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.
