3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

3.1. Installation of Profipower Gateway
The Profipower gateway of Power Electronics is a module to connect
the inverters and soft starters of Power Electronics to a PROFIBUS
network directly. It is necessary to use one gateway for each
equipment to connect it to the network.
Note: Gateway installation does not involve that the inverter or soft
starter and/or the power is configured or connected in a correct way
respectively. Make sure the peripheral installation is well done to
guarantee a correct operation of the system.
CAUTION
Motor controllers of Power Electronics operate with a high electric
energy.
Make sure the power supply has been disconnected and wait for at least
10 minutes to guarantee that DC Link voltage is discharged, before
installing the interface module of Profibus. Otherwise, you may get
personal injuries or an accident could occur.
The gateway should be installed near to the motor controller. The
maximum distance between the motor controller and the gateway
should be of 3 meters, but only if it is necessary.
