4.Remove the drive’s front cover / open the drive’s cabinet door (refer to the appropriate drive manual for instructions how to do this).

5.The drive’s LCD panel (also called the “Electronic Operator Interface” or “EOI”) can communicate with the drive via either the RS485/RS232 channel (CNU1/CNU1A) or the common serial channel (CNU2/CNU2A). Because the interface uses the common serial channel, the LCD panel must be configured to use the RS485/RS232 channel. If the drive to be connected is currently using CNU2 (on the drive control board) and CNU2A (on the LCD panel), then this connection must first be switched over to CNU1 (on the drive control board) and CNU1A (on the LCD panel). Refer to Toshiba’s documentation for any precautions or notices regarding this connection change. If the LCD panel is already connected via the RS485/RS232 channel, then no change is required.

6.Configure the drive’s LCD panel to communicate via the RS485/RS232 channel by setting parameter ”Communication Setting Parameters.. Communication Settings.. Select LCD Port Connection” to “RS485/232 serial”.

7.Connect the drive’s common serial communication port (CNU2) to one of the ASD channels of the interface with the communication cable (communication cable is not included with the ETH-100 kit). When choosing cables for this connection, standard 24 AWG category 5 (CAT5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) 8-conductor cables found in Ethernet networks in most office environments can be used. The maximum allowable length for these cables is 5 meters. Although there are many varieties and styles of CAT5 UTP cables available, ICC strongly recommends using only high-quality cables from reputable manufacturers to guarantee optimal noise immunity and cable longevity. Ensure that each end of the cable is fully seated into the modular connectors, and route the cable such that it is located well away from any drive input power or motor wiring. Also take care to route the cable away from any sharp edges or positions where it may be pinched.

8.Reinstall the drive’s front cover / close the drive’s cabinet door.

9.Repeat steps 1-8 to connect other drive(s) as needed.

10.Connect the Ethernet network cable to the shielded RJ45 connector marked “Network” on the bottom of the unit. If a ground cable is going to be used, attach the ground cable to the screw terminal marked “GND” on the bottom side of the unit (refer to section 5). Ensure that the network cable is fully seated into the modular connector, and route the cable such that it is located well away from any drive input power or motor wiring. Also take care to route the cable away from any sharp edges or positions where it may be pinched.

11.Take a moment to verify that the interface and all primary and secondary network cables have sufficient clearance from drives, motors, or power- carrying electrical wiring.

12.Turn the power sources to all connected drives ON, and verify that the drives function properly. If the drives do not appear to power up, or do not
