1. Before you begin
Read and understand these instructions before performing any procedure with this drive.
DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
• Read and understand the Installation Manual before installing or operating the Altivar drive. Installation, adjustment,
repair, and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
• The user is responsible for compliance with all international and national electrical standards in force concerning
protective grounding of all equipment.
• Many parts of this variable speed drive, including the printed circuit boards, operate at the line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH.
Use only electrically insulated tools.
• DO NOT touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present.
• DO NOT short across terminals PA and PC or across the DC bus capacitors.
• Install and close all the covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.
• Before servicing the variable speed drive
- Disconnect all power.
- Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the variable speed drive disconnect.
- Lock the disconnect in the open position.
• Disconnect all power including external control power that may be present before servicing the drive. WAIT 15
MINUTES to allow the DC bus capacitors to discharge. Then follow the DC bus voltage measurement procedure given
in the Installation Manual to verify that the DC voltage is less than 45 VDC. The drive LEDs are not accurate indicators
of the absence of DC bus voltage.
Electric shock will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
DAMAGED EQUIPMENT
Do not install or operate any drive that appears damaged.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage.

3. Introduction
3. 1. Presentation
The standard Fipio communication card VW3 A3 311 is used to connect an Altivar 61 or Altivar 71 drive to a Fipio bus.
The data exchanges permit full drive functionality:
• Control
• Monitoring
• Adjustment
• Configuration
The profile used is FED C 32.
The periodic variables can be configured using the “Communication scanner” function.
The following assignment selections can be made:
On Fipio, address 0 is reserved for the PLC, which is the bus manager. Address 63 is reserved for the programming or operator terminal.
These two addresses must not, therefore, be used for a drive.
If address 0 has, nevertheless, been configured on the drive, its Fipio card will be deactivated.
No two devices on the Fipio bus should ever have the same address. Continued simultaneous flashing of the LEDs indicates that the drive
cannot connect to the Fipio bus because its address is already occupied by another device.
Examples:
Address 11 = 2#0000 1011
Address 34 = 2#0010 0010

The drive must be powered down when it is connected to the Fipio bus.
Connection is made via a TSX FP ACC 12 or TSX FP ACC 2 daisy chain or tap
junction connector, which is attached to the Fipio card connector.
5. 3. Wiring example
If a TSX FP ACC 2 tap junction connector is used the Fipio cables and/or the
TSX FP ACC 7 line terminator must be located on the right-hand side.

6. 1. Control - Signaling
Numerous configurations are possible. For more information, refer to the Programming Manual and the Parameters Manual.
The following configurations are just some of the possibilities available.
b Control via Fipio in I/O profile
The command and reference come from Fipio.
The command is in I/O profile.
Configure the following parameters:
