Communication Card Installation
For the GS30A-CM-ECAT card, follow the steps in this guide to install to the GS30 drive in position 2.

Mounting Positions for Frames A-D
Things you'll need (most of this will come with your communication card):
• Communication card to be installed
• External mounting cover
• Removable green terminal block
• Grounding wire
• Mounting screw
• Small phillips and straight screwdriver
• Connection cable - long. Installing to position 2 requires the long connection cable
(included with your card) regardless of GS30 drive size.
NOTE: The comm card connection port will be covered by a card installed in position 1. When installing cards in both positions, the cable
for the position 2 card must be connected to the drive before the position 1 support frame is installed.
NOTE: Ensure all control board and power wires are terminated before installing the option card. Once the option card is installed, there
is no access to the control terminals on all drives, and no access to the power terminals on frames A–D.
1) Disconnect power to the drive and wait until the capacitors are fully drained (at least 5 minutes).
2) Remove the front cover of the drive.

4) The EtherCat card must be grounded before wiring. A ground terminal wire is included with the card. The A side of the ground terminal connects to the PE on the drive
as indicated by the red circles below. The B side of the ground terminal connects to the green removeable terminal block labeled PE on the option card. Connect the
wire then plug the terminal block back into the option card. Note, for D-I frames, snip the "A" ring of the ground terminal wire to fit the connector around the ground
screw.
