1.1. Usage Precautions

- Do not touch charged parts of the drive such as the terminal block while the drive’s CHARGE lamp is lit. A charge will
still be present in the drive’s internal electrolytic capacitors, and therefore touching these areas may result in an
electrical shock. Always turn all drive input power supplies OFF, and wait at least 5 minutes after the CHARGE lamp
has gone out before connecting communication cables or motor wiring.
- Proper ground connections are vital for both safety and signal reliability reasons. For proper grounding procedures,
please refer to the ASD instruction manual for drive considerations and the ODVA DeviceNet Specifications for network
considerations.
- Route all communication cables separate from drive input/output power wiring.
- To avoid the possibility of electric shock due to leakage currents, always ground the drive’s E/GND terminal and the
motor. To avoid misoperation, do not connect the DeviceNet network SHIELD terminal directly to either of the above-
mentioned grounds or any other power ground.
- Do not assign the same MAC ID to more than one DeviceNet unit in the same network. For an explanation of station
addressing, refer to Instruction Manual.
