3-20 Installing the Drive
650V AC Drive
RS485 Communications Option
You can create a network of drives by linking a Master (PC/PLC) to one or more 650V drives
fitted with this optional 3-way terminal. It is factory-fitted to the right hand side of the control
board.
Signals from the host 650V drive are converted into RS485, and vice versa, so that information
can be shared between the Master and 650V drive(s).
Wiring is very simple - all connections are SELV (Safe Extra Low Voltage).
