iX7NH Series AC Servo Drive
AutomationDirect Foreword
This QuickStart Guide is designed to get an iX7NH servo system installed and running quickly.
This AutomationDirect Guide is a supplement to the LS Electric iX7NH User Manual. This Guide
does not replace the manufacturer's User Manual. For advanced features or options required
by your application, you may still need to refer to the User Manual. Download and reference
both this QuickStart Guide and the iX7NH User Manual when commissioning an iX7NH servo
system.
This quickstart guide will get your iX7NH drive configured and commissioned using Drive CM.
This is helpful for:
• For further EtherCAT commissioning help, see AutomationDirect's LS Electric Interactive PLC
Guide available at
• For further Modbus TCP commissioning, see the iX7NH Modbus TCP Communications Guide.
A note on Part Numbers: LS Electric servo parts sold by AutomationDirect have part numbers
that end with "-AD". This suffix signifies special packaging and labeling for AutomationDirect.
All the LS servo products with the "-AD" function and behave exactly the same as the standard
LS Electric parts. Please note that when reading the LS electric User Manual or using the Drive
CM software, the "-AD" will NOT appear in any part numbers. For example, AutomationDirect
part iX7NHA004U-AD is just iX7NHA004U in the LS Electric documentation.
NOTE: EtherCAT® is a registered trademark and patented technology, licensed by Beckhoff
