If the EOI is already connected via the RS485/RS232 channel, then no change is
required.
6. Connect the drive's common serial communication port (CNU2) to one of the
channels (A, B or C) of the ETH-100 with the communication cable
(communication cable is not included with the interface kit). When choosing
cables for this connection, standard 24 AWG category 5 (CAT5) unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) 8-conductor cables found in Ethernet networks in most office
environments can be used. The maximum allowable length for these cables is 5
meters. Although there are many varieties and styles of CAT5 UTP cables
available, ICC strongly recommends using only high-quality cables from reputable
manufacturers to guarantee optimal noise immunity and cable longevity. Ensure
that each end of the cable is fully seated into the modular connector, and route
the cable such that it is located well away from any drive input power or motor
wiring. Also take care to route the cable away from any sharp edges or positions
where it may be pinched.
7. Reinstall the drive's front cover / close the drive's cabinet door.
8. Repeat steps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to connect other drives as needed.
9. Connect the Ethernet network cable to the shielded RJ45 connector marked
"Network" on the bottom of the unit. If a ground cable is going to be used, attach
the ground cable to the screw terminal marked "GND" on the bottom side of the
unit (refer to section 4). Ensure that the network cable is fully seated into the
modular connector, and route the cable such that it is located well away from any
drive input power or motor wiring. Also take care to route the cable away from
any sharp edges or positions where it may be pinched.
10. Take a moment to verify that the ETH-100 and all network cables have sufficient
clearance from drives, motors, or power-carrying electrical wiring.
11. Turn the power sources to all connected drives ON, and verify that the drives
function properly. If the drives do not appear to power up, or do not function
properly, immediately turn power OFF. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove all
power from the drives. Then, verify all connections. Contact ICC or your local
drive distributor or manufacturer for assistance if the problem persists.

internal parts with power applied to the drive, or for at least 5 minutes after
power to the drive has been removed. A hazard exists temporarily for
electrical shock even if the source power has been removed. Verify that the
CHARGE LED has gone out before continuing the installation process.
