DPI Communication Ports
For Frame 3 drives, the Communication Interface board contains three DIN 
connectors that are used as DPI communication ports (Figure 12
). These ports 
provide communication between the LiquiFlo 2.0 drive and other DPI devices 
(for example, an OIM or a personal computer running the VS Utilities software). 
The three connectors (DPI ports 3, 4, and 5) are equivalent. This manual 
assumes that peripherals are always plugged into DPI port 3.

For Frame 4 drives, there is only one DPI port, accessible via the OIM connector 
on the front panel of the power module (see Figure 13
). An internal cable 
connects this connector to the DIN connector on the control board. A device 
plugged directly into this connector uses DPI port 3. If there is a requirement 
that multiple DPI peripheral devices be connected, a DPI port expander box can 
be used, but no device should be plugged into the DPI Port 2 connector because 
the rectifier connects to the inverter using that port.
