Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Fire Hazard
Tighten all terminal screws to the specified tightening torque.
Loose electrical connections could result in death or serious injury by fire due to overheating of electrical connections.
Damage to Equipment
Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the option, drive, and circuit boards.
Failure to comply may result in ESD damage to circuitry.
Never shut the power off while the drive is running or outputting voltage.
Failure to comply may cause the application to operate incorrectly or damage the drive.

devices.
Failure to comply may result in damage to the option.
Prior to Installing the Option
Note: Refer to the instruction manual of a specific drive for details.
Prior to installing the option, wire the drive, make necessary connections to the drive terminals, and verify that the drive
functions normally without the option installed. Refer to the instruction manual packaged with the drive for information
on wiring and connecting the drive.

Remove the front covers of the drive before installing the option. Refer to the drive instruction manual for directions on
removing the front covers. Cover removal varies depending on drive size. This option can be inserted only into the
CN5-A connector located on the drive control board.
Note: Refer to the instruction manual of a specific drive for information on removing and installing the operators and the covers.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the power is on. Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury. Before installing the option, disconnect all power to the drive and wait at least the amount of time specified on the
drive front cover safety label. After all indicators are off, measure the DC bus voltage to confirm safe level, and check for unsafe
voltages before servicing. The internal capacitor remains charged after the power supply is turned off.
1.Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to dissipate, then remove the digital
operator (D) and front covers (C, F). Front cover removal varies by drive model.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Observe proper electrostatic discharge procedures (ESD) when handling the option, drive, and
circuit boards. Failure to comply may result in ESD damage to circuitry.

Depending on the drive model, some drives may require routing the wiring through the side of the front cover to
the outside to provide adequate space for the wiring. Refer to the Peripheral Devices & Options section of the
drive Quick Start Guide or instruction manual for more information on wire routing of specific models.
Route the wiring through the side of the front cover to the outside. In these cases, using diagonal cutting pliers,
cut out the perforated openings on the left side of the drive front cover as shown in Figure 7-A. Sharp edges
along the cut out should be smoothed down with a file or sand paper to prevent any damage to the wires.
Route the wiring inside the enclosure as shown in Figure 7-B for drives that do not require routing through the
front cover.
Note: Separate communication cables from main circuit wiring and other electrical lines.
Figure 7
A – Route wires through the openings provided on the
left side of the front cover.
<1> The drive will not meet NEMA Type 1 requirements if wiring is exposed outside the enclosure.

Figure 7 Wire Routing Examples
B – Use the open space provided inside the drive to
route option wiring.
6.Connect the PROFINET Cat 5e communication cable to the option modular connector CN1 port 1 or port 2.
To connect the option to a network, firmly connect RJ45 8-pin Shielded Twisted Pair Cat5e cable(s) into the
option modular connector CN1. Ensure the cable end is firmly connected (see Figure 7).
Note: Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable while the drive is powered up or while the drive is in operation. Failure to
comply may cause a static discharge, which will cause the option card to stop working properly. Cycle power on the drive and
option card to reestablish functionality.
Communication Cable Specifications
Only use cable recommended for PROFINET. Using a cable not specifically recommended may cause the
option or drive to malfunction.
