5.1 Introduction
The MD500‑PN1 card is a PROFINET fieldbus adapter card complying with the
international PROFINET standard. 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‑PN1 card with software of version 1.00 or
later (you can query the version by viewing the parameter U0‑67 of the MD520 after
the card is installed and powered on). The corresponding GSDML file is GSDML-
V2.31-inovancemd500-20180705.xml.
5.2 Installation
The MD500‑PN1 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‑PN1 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. "
