PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS MNS LED (operation status indication) MNS LED indicates the operating status of the option unit according to the indication status. Check the position of LED on page 2. Operating Status Note Indication · Turn inverter power on. Option unit will then complete duplicate Inverter power off station number test.
PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Specifications Item Specifications Control power Supplied from the inverter supply Power supply External power Input voltage: 11 to 28V input Consumption current: 90mA maximum Conforms to ODVA DeviceNet Specification Release 2.0 Standard (support UCMM) Network topology DeviceNet (linear bus with frop lines) Communication cable DeviceNet standard thick or thin cable (For a drop cable, use a thin cable.) 500m (125kbps)
INSTALLATION Pre-Installation Instructions Make sure that the input power of the inverter is off. CAUTION With input power on, do not install or remove the plug-in option. Otherwise, the inverter and plug-in option may be damaged. Installation of the Communication Option LED Display Cover Mount the cover for displaying the operation status indication LED for the communication option on the inverter front cover.
INSTALLATION Installation Procedure 1) Remove the inverter front cover. 2) Mount the hex-head screw for option mounting into the inverter screw hole (on earth plate). (size 5.5mm, tightening torque 0.56N⋅m to 0.75N⋅m) 3) Securely fit the connector of the plug-in option to the inverter connector along the guides.
Node Address Setting (1) Setting with node address switch Set the node address between "0 to 63" using node address switches on the FR-A7ND (refer to page 2). The setting is reflected when power turns on next or the inverter is reset.
· Check that the correct node address is set. (Refer to page 7.) · Check that a drop cable is firmly connected to the FR-A7ND. (Refer to page 10.) (2) Make sure that the terminating resistor is installed at each end (between CAN+ and CAN-) of the trunk cable.
WIRING Wiring (1) Strip the insulation back about 40mm on the free wire end of the drop cable to expose the four colored signal wires and the silver shield wire. (2) Strip the insulation back of each signal cable to use. If the length of the sheath Cable stripping size pealed is too long, a short circuit may occur among neighboring wires.
Page 18
WIRING (5) For wiring of the FR-F700 series 30K (FR-F720-01250, FR-F740-00620) or less, route wires between the control circuit terminal block and front cover. If cables can not be routed between the control circuit terminal block and front cover (about 7mm), remove a hook of the front cover and use a space become available. For wiring of the FR-F700 series 37K (FR-F720-01540, FR-F740-00770) or more, use the space on the left side of the control circuit terminal block.
