Communicating with Devices on a Serial Link
De-energizing the Drive to
Connect or Disconnect a
Cable
During the process of configuring serial communication you will need to
connect or disconnect a programming or network cable at the controller.
You should do this only if the drive is de-energized.
1. Turn off and lock out input power. Wait five minutes.
2. Verify that there is no voltage at the drive’s input power terminals.
3. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the Power
Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
4. Connect or disconnect the programming or network cable.
5. Turn power back on and proceed with configuring serial communication.
Configuring Your System for
a Serial Link For the DriveLogix controller to operate on a serial network, you need:
• a workstation with a serial port
• RSLinx software to configure the serial communication driver
• RSLogix 5000 programming software to configure the serial port of the
controller
Important: Limit the length of serial (RS-232) cables to 15.2m (50 ft.).
!
ATTENTION: Severe injury or death can result from electrical
shock or burn. Verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has
discharged before connecting to the communication ports.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the
Power Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
