⚫ Be especially careful with the 24V connection to the 24V power receiving terminals and GND of the
modules.
(2) Set the motor to run alone.
If possible, separate the motor shaft from the machine, or load.
(3) Connect LAN cables between the master board and slaves to use.
(4) Check the termination setting.
Make sure that termination (Term) in the "communication settings switch" is set to ON only for the last
module on the LAN cable. (Termination is enabled when set to ON)
