Drive configuration
The following information applies to all drive types compatible with 
the adapter module, unless otherwise stated.
Ethernet POWERLINK connection configuration
After the adapter module has been installed according to the 
instructions in chapters Mechanical installation and Electrical 
installation, you must prepare the drive for communication with the 
module.
The detailed procedure of activating the module for POWERLINK 
communication with the drive depends on the drive type. Normally, 
you must adjust a parameter to activate the communication. See 
the drive-specific start-up procedures starting on page 40.
Once communication between the drive and the adapter module 
has been established, several configuration parameters are copied 
to the drive. These parameters are shown in the tables below and 
must be checked first and adjusted where necessary.
Note that not all drives display descriptive names for the 
configuration parameters. To help you identify the parameters in 
different drives, the names displayed by each drive are given in 
grey boxes in the tables.
Note: The new settings take effect only when the adapter module 
is powered up the next time or when the fieldbus adapter refresh 
parameter is activated.
