Verify Communication
The following is a quick reference guide for serial communications to the G7 drive. Make a copy of this page and check-off each item as it is
completed. For detailed information please refer to the detailed sections that follow.
1: RS-232 Communication.
1.1: Verify that the correct cable is used to connect the controller to the G7 drive.
1.2: Verify that the controller is set for RS-232 communication and that the communication cable is connected to the correct
communication port.
1.3: Record the controller communication parameters.
