2.2 Drive Set-up
The drive must be properly configured to communicate with the option card, as described below:
GPD505
Parameter
GPD506/P5
Parameter
Setting Description
n106 n104 1
Address
(01)
n107
n105
2
Baud Rate (9600)
n108 n106 0
Parity
(None)
NOTE: Parameter n001 must be set to 3 to change these parameters. New settings will not take
affect until drive power is cycled.
If any of these settings are incorrect, “CALL” will blink on the digital operator, as will the RXD, TXD and
FAULT LEDs. This is an indication that the drive has not yet established communication with the option
card. Once the drive has properly exchanged messages with the option card, all blinking should stop.
2.3 Network Connection
Communication on the network is half-duplex, two-wire RS-485, with communication parameters fixed at
4800 baud, eight data bits, no parity and one start/stop bit. The connection medium is shielded twisted
pair cable.
Network connection is facilitated by a pluggable 4-way Phoenix-style connector, as illustrated in Figure 5.
Particular attention should be given to the polarity of the network connection. Proper communication
cannot be established with these terminals reversed.
