Option Connection Diagram

Connect the MECHATROLINK-III cable to connector CN1 or CN2.

Connect the provided ground wire for installations on 1000-series drives and GA500 drives.

The ground wire is not necessary for installation on GA700, GA800, CR700, or CH700 drives.

The dual communication cable ports on the option board act as a switch to allow for

flexibility in cabling topology. Users may employ a traditional star network topology

using a single communication cable port on the option. Users may also choose to employ

a ring topology using both communication cable ports on the option and reduce the

requirements of MECHATROLINK-III hub module ports.
