Wiring R4
Note: These are instructions for conduit wiring. For cable wiring, see the ACH580 
Hardware manual, publication number 3AXD50000044839.
Note: In US deliveries, options are already installed at the factory. If installing on 
site, option slot 1 modules (fieldbus adapter) may be installed by mounting the 
module on the control board and tightening the mounting screw, which is also the 
grounding screw. Option slot 2 modules (I/O extension) may be installed by 
mounting the module on the control board and tightening both the mounting screw 
and the grounding screw. Refer to Warning.
WARNING! If installing modules, obey the instructions in Safety instructions on 
page 2. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.
Option slot 2 in frames R1…R5 is at U
DC
 potential. You must disconnect power 
supplies before installing or removing an I/O extension module.
1. Install thin-wall conduit clamps for IP21/UL (NEMA) Type 1 or liquid-tight conduit

6. Connect the input power and ground wires to the drive terminal. Tighten the screws 
to torques shown in the Power wiring torque table.
7. Route the control cables through the conduit (not the same conduit as either input 
power or motor wiring).
8. Strip the control cable sheathing and twist the copper screen into a pig-tail.
9. Refer to pages 39, 40 and 41. Connect the ground screen pig-tail for digital and

10. Connect the ground screen pig-tail for Embedded fieldbus, EFB (EIA-485) cables at 
X5. (Ground only at drive end.)
11. Strip and connect the individual control wires to the drive terminals. Tighten the
