Technical Specifications  E-17   
DC590+ Series DC Digital Drive   
Terminal Definitions (Digital/Analog Inputs & Outputs) 
User inputs are IEC1131 compliant. Terminal blocks A, B, and C are located on the control board each block being a 9 way plug-in connector.  In 
addition to terminal blocks A, B and C, terminal blocks G and H provide connections when the two option modules are fitted on the control board.

Terminal Information - Power Board (Frames 1-5) 
Note that on Frame 1 and 2 units, L1, L2, L3, A+ and A- terminals are located on a separate Terminal Board. On Frame 3, 4 & 5 units, they are 
busbar connections. 
Frame 3 units have terminal designations D1 to D8, shown in brackets in the Terminal Number column of this table.
