Product Information Product Information Introduction The MD500‑PN1 card is a PROFINET field bus adapter card complying with the international PROFINET standard and IEC 61158‑6‑10 and IEC 61158‑6‑10 application standard. It is installed in the MD series AC drive to improve the communication efficiency and implement the AC drive networking function, which enables the AC drive to be a slave controlled by the field bus master station.
Product Information This guide describes use of the MD500–PN1 card in MD500 series AC drives. For use of the card in other drives, contact Inovance technical support to check whether the card is avail‑ able and obtain corresponding technical documentation.

Installation and Wiring Installation and Wiring Installation The MD500‑PN1 expansion card is installed in the MD500 series AC drive. Before installation, de‑energize the AC drive and wait at least 10 minutes until the charging indicator on the AC drive becomes off. Then, insert the MD500‑PN1 expansion card into the AC drive and fasten the screws to prevent the signal socket between boards from being damaged by external signal cable tension.
Installation and Wiring Do not remove or install the card with power ON. Wiring 2.2.1 Topology PROFINET supports a variety of topologies, including bus, star, and tree topologies. Diversified networking modes can be implemented by using switches. Figure 2‑3 Bus topology Figure 2‑4 Star topology ‑...

Troubleshooting Prerequisites for directly replacing the MD500‑PN1 card are as follows: The alternative component and the component to be replaced are both the ● MD500‑PN1 cards. The alternative MD500‑PN1 card has not been assigned with a device name before. ● The topology has been configured during PLC network configurations.

Troubleshooting In the General tab, select Support device replacement without exchangeable medium, and click OK. According to the actual network connections, double‑click Port 1 or Port 2 of the PLC. Click the Topology tab, select the port of the slave station connected to the PLC (Any partner by default) from the Partner port drop‑down list box, and click OK.
