ICC

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the ICC Multiprotocol Ethernet Interface for the Toshiba G9, H9, Q9 and VFAS1 families of Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs). This interface allows information to be transferred seamlessly between the drive and several different Ethernet-based fieldbus networks with minimal configuration requirements. The interface installs directly into the drive enclosure and presents a standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connection to the Ethernet network. In addition to the supported fieldbus protocols, the interface also hosts an embedded web server, which provides access to all drive information via a standard web browser for remote monitoring, configuration and control.

Before using the interface, please familiarize yourself with the product and be sure to thoroughly read the instructions and precautions contained in this manual. In addition, please make sure that this instruction manual is delivered to the end user of the interface and ASD, and keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference or unit inspection.
