8.3. Parameter Group 5 – Communication Parameters
8.3.1. Overview
Optidrive P2 provides many methods to allow the user to connect to a variety of fieldbus networks. In addition, connection to options
such as external keypads, PC and Optistick are possible. Parameter Group 5 provides the parameters required to configure the
various fieldbus interfaces and connection points.
8.3.2. Connecting Invertek Drives Options
All Invertek Drives options which require communication with the drive, such as the Optiport and Optipad remote keypads and
Optistick connect to the Optidrive P2 using the built in RJ45 connection point. The pin connections on these options are already
matched, such that a simple pin to pin plug in cable can be used to connect these options without any special requirements.
For further information on connecting and using these optional items, refer to the specific option User guide.
8.3.3. Connecting to a PC
Optidrive P2 may be connected to a PC with Microsoft Windows operating system to allow use of the Optitools Studio PC software
for commissioning and monitoring. There are two possible methods of connection as follows:
Wired Connection. Requires the optional PC connection kit OPT-2-USB485-OBUS which provides a USB to RS485 serial port
conversion and premanufactured RJ45 connection.
Bluetooth Wireless Connection. Requires the optional Optistick OPT-2-STICK. The PC must have Bluetooth onboard or a suitable
Bluetooth dongle which can support a Bluetooth serial connection.
With either communication method, the steps to establish a connection between the PC and drive are as follows:
Download and install the Optitools Studio PC software to the PC.
Start the software, and select the Parameter Editor function.
If the drive address has been changed in parameter P5-01, ensure that in the Optitools Studio software the Network Scan Limit
setting in the lower left corner of the screen is set to the same or higher value.
In Optitools Studio select Tools > Communication Type.
o If using the Optistick, Select BlueTooth.
