Network Communication
PowerFlex 520-Series RS784 (DSI) Protocol
This section contains only basic information to setup the PowerFlex 520-series RS485 (DSI) protocol connection with
your PowerFlex 520-series drive. See the PowerFlex 520-Series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive User Manual, publication
for more information.
PowerFlex 520-series drives support the RS485 (DSI) protocol to allow efficient operation with Rockwell Automation
peripherals. In addition, some Modbus functions are supported to allow simple networking. PowerFlex 520-series drives
can be multi-dropped on an RS485 network using Modbus protocol in RTU mode.
PowerFlex 520-Series Drive Network
Network Wiring
Network wiring consists of a shielded 2-conductor cable that is daisy-chained from node to node.
Network Wiring Diagram Example
ATTENTION: Never attempt to connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable to the RS485 port. Doing so may damage the circuitry.
IMPORTANT
The shield is connected at ONLY ONE end of each cable segment.
