Drive AutoScan Algorithm
Connections to the drives are automatically established and continuously monitored. No drive configuration needs to be performed to connect the
In order to provide faster access to internal drive data, the user has the ability to program up to 8 ASD registers per channel to be locally mirrored within the
Programmable Pointer Registers
16 Modbus programmable pointer registers are provided to allow “bundling” of disassociated registers. This allows registers which may be scattered around the Modbus register map to be accessed by issuing only 1 Modbus transaction request. When combined with the
Indicators
•1 green “LNK” LED that is on whenever a valid Ethernet connection is detected.
•1 red “ACT” LED that flashes whenever data is transferred across the Ethernet network.
•1 bicolor red/green “MS” LED that indicates module status information.
•1 bicolor red/green “NS” LED that indicates network status information.
•2 green LEDs on each of the drive communication connectors and on the MMI port connector.
Refer to section 9 for more detailed information about the LED indicators and their meanings.
Selectable Grounding
Switch SW1 #2 allows the ground plane to be split into 2 different sections: one for the main control circuitry and another for the Ethernet network connector shield and associated magnetics. The latter ground point is accessible for external termination via the GND screw terminal located on the bottom of the unit. Refer to section 4 for more information related to grounding.
