RS485 (DSI) Protocol PowerFlex 520-series drives support the RS485 (DSI) protocol to allow efficient operation with Rockwell Automation peripherals. In addition, some Modbus functions are supported to allow simple networking. PowerFlex 520-series drives can be multi-dropped on an RS485 network using Modbus protocol in RTU mode.
Only pins 4 and 5 on the RJ45 plug should be wired. The other pins on the PowerFlex 520-series drive’s RJ45 socket must not be connected because they contain power, etc. for other Rockwell Automation peripheral devices.
