Connecting a PC
WARNING!
Do not connect the PC directly to the control panel connector of the control unit as
this can cause damage.
A PC (with, for example, the Drive composer PC tool) can be connected as follows:
1.
Connect a ACS-AP-... or ACH-AP-... control panel to the unit either
•
by inserting the control panel into the panel holder or platform, or
•
by using an Ethernet (eg, Cat 5e) networking cable.
2.
Remove the USB connector cover on the front of the control panel.
3.
Connect an USB cable (Type A to Type Mini-B) between the USB connector on the
control panel (3a) and a free USB port on the PC (3b).
4.
The panel will display an indication whenever the connection is active.
5.
See the documentation of the PC tool for setup instructions.

Panel bus (Control of several units from one control panel)
One control panel (or PC) can be used to control several drives (or inverter units, supply
units etc.) by constructing a panel bus. This is done by daisy-chaining the panel connections
of the drives. Some drives have the necessary (twin) panel connectors in the control panel
holder; those that do not require the installation of an FDPI-02 module (available separately).
For further information, see the hardware description and
interface user's manual (3AUA0000113618
The maximum allowed length of the cable chain is 100 m (328 ft).
1.
Connect the panel to one drive using an Ethernet (for example Cat 5e) cable.
•
Use Menu - Settings - Edit texts - Drive to give a descriptive name to the drive
•
Use parameter 49.01* to assign the drive with a unique node ID number
•
Set other parameters in group 49* if necessary
•
Use parameter 49.06* to validate any changes.
*The parameter group is 149 with supply (line-side), brake or DC/DC converter units.
Repeat the above for each drive.
2.
With the panel connected to one unit, link the units using Ethernet cables.
