Electrical Design

on the MD580 series AC drive, so that the AC drive can work as a slave on the
PROFINET I/O Industrial Ethernet and be controlled by a PROFINET I/O Industrial
Ethernet master. This effectively improves system communication efficiency and
enriches the networking functions of the MD580 series AC drive.
Features:
● Supports up to 100 Mbit/s bus communication rate. The communication period is
short.
● Provides flexible networking and supports almost all types of topologies: chain,
bus, tree, and star.
● Uses a distributed clock and exchanges data using a pure‑hardware mechanism,
effectively the timing accuracy of data exchange.
● Supports direct installation in the extension slot of the MD580 AC drive without
requiring an external power supply, which is convenient.
3.5.4.2 Electrical Connection
The MD580‑SI‑PN1 uses a standard Ethernet RJ45 socket for connection to a
PROFINET master. The pin signal definitions are the same as those of the standard
Ethernet pins. It supports both crossover and straight‑through cabling modes.
