9 EtherNet/IP Communication
9.1 Introduction
As an EtherNet/IP fieldbus adapter that complies with international EtherNet/IP bus
standards, the MD520 series EtherNet/IP communication expansion card (MD500‑EN1
card for short) features high efficiency, flexible topology, and easy operation. It is
installed on an MD series AC drive to improve the communication efficiency and
facilitate implementation of the AC drive networking function, enabling the AC drive
to be a slave controlled by the fieldbus master.
This user guide is applicable to the MD500‑EN1 card with software of version 1.00 or
later (you can query the version by viewing the parameter U0‑67 of the AC drive after
the card is installed and powered on). The corresponding EDS file is MD500P_EIP_
V1.00.eds.
9.2 Installation
The MD500‑EN1 card is embedded in the MD520 series AC drive. Before installation,
cut off the power supply of the AC drive and wait for about 10 minutes until the
charging indicator of the AC drive becomes off. Then, insert the MD500‑EN1 card into
the AC drive and fasten the screws to prevent the signal socket between boards from
being damaged by the pulling force of the external signal cable. "

After installing the MD500‑EN1 card on the AC drive, connect the ground terminals of
the MD500‑EN1 card and the AC drive properly, as shown in "
