When installing (module, cable glands, plug connectors), take care that there is a good seal, in order to prevent
the entry of moisture and the danger of corrosion and short circuits. With IP66 modules (SK TI4-TU-...-C) the
membrane valve (supplied) must be screwed in, in order to prevent the accumulation of condensation.
Remove the two M25 caps on the required side of the frequency
inverter (right / left).
Remove the printed circuit board (with terminal bar) from the
SK TI4-TU-…. connection unit.
Install the SK TI4-TU- ... with the enclosed seal on the SK 2xxE
using the 4 enclosed bolts.
Insert both of the enclosed grommets in the M25 cable glands (to
protect the internal wiring between the module and the frequency
inverter).
Replace the printed circuit board (See point 3) and carry out the
electrical connections.
SK TI4-TU-…-C version devices: remove the top M20 cable gland
(however not at the diagnostic inlet) and insert the enclosed
membrane valve into this screw fitting.
Fit and screw on the SK TU4 module.

Connection examples
The following connection examples are generally applicable for NORD IO modules. The number or
type of the available IOs and their configuration on the terminal rail varies according to the module.
The actual availability or the designation of the individual contacts should be obtained by reference to
the description of the connections. The technical data (e.g. load capacity) must be taken into account.

* The relevant IOs must be configured via DIP switches according to the form of the signal
** Analog input only
In "Broadcast mode, which is activated via the parameter (P162), the module can access up to 4 inverters in
parallel. Therefore the frequency inverters jointly access the I/Os and evaluate the input signals according to their
own parameterisation. Output signals from the frequency inverters which are sent to the common IO module are
linked by a logical "OR" within the module. i.e. a digital output is set as soon as one of the four frequency inverters
addresses it. In addition, the highest analog value is provided via the analog output of the IO extension.

Configuration
Configuration of the module is mainly performed via the DIP switches. The DIP switches are read after
a "power on" of the module. A change to the DIP switch during operation has no effect.
The system bus must be terminated at both of its physical ends (if necessary set the "System bus
termination resistor" DIP switch).

Parameterisation
Inverter: In order to establish communication between the inverter and the IOE module, the following
inverter parameters must be changed.
IO extension: The module provides a selection of parameters for setting or displaying special
operating values. The parameters can be changed with the aid of the NORDCON software or with a
ParameterBox. Communication is only possible via an SK 54xE or SK 2xxE which is connected to the
module.
