4.5 Communications connections
The drive offers a 2 wire 485 interface. This enables the drive set-up,
operation and monitoring to be carried out with a PC or controller if
required.
Figure 4-12 Location of the comms connectors
The 485 option provides two parallel RJ45 connectors are provided
allowing easy daisy chaining. The drive only supports MODBUS RTU
protocol. See Table 4-11 for the connection details.
Standard Ethernet cables are not recommended for use when
connecting drives on a 485 network as they do not have the correct
twisted pairs for the pinout of the serial comms port.
Table 4-11 Serial communication port pin-outs
Minimum number of connections are 2, 3, 7 and shield.
The TX Enable is a 0 to +5 V output signal from the drive, which can be
used to control the buffers on an external serial communications device /
converter.
4.5.1 Isolation of the 485 serial communications
port
The serial PC communications port is double insulated and meets the
requirements for SELV in EN 50178:1998.
An isolated serial communications lead has been designed to connect
the drive to IT equipment (such as laptop computers), and is available
from the supplier of the drive. See below for details:
Table 4-12 Isolated serial comms lead details
The “isolated serial communications” lead has reinforced insulation as
defined in IEC60950 for altitudes up to 3,000 m.

In order to meet the requirements for SELV in IEC60950 (IT
equipment) it is necessary for the control computer to be
grounded. Alternatively, when a lap-top or similar device is
used which has no provision for grounding, an isolation
device must be incorporated in the communications lead.
