2-2 Installing the Adapter
3. Open the drive cover.
4. Connect a cable to the network, and route it through the bottom of
the PowerFlex drive. (Refer to the LonMark Layers 1-6
Interoperability Guidelines, Appendix A “Cable Requirements for
the TP/FT-10 Channel.”)
5. Connect a six-pin linear plug to the network cable. (See Figure 2.1
for the terminal definitions.)
Figure 2.1 Bus Topology with Shield Example
6. Insert the six-pin linear plug into the mating adapter socket.
Terminal Name Function
1 SHIELD
(1)
(1)
It is recommended to use shielded network cable. This shield must be grounded at one point
on the network via a 470K ohm, 1/4 watt, ≤ 10% metal film resistor.
Noise mitigation
(2)
(2)
For noise mitigation, LON trunk lines should not be run in close proximity to drive or
equipment power distribution feeds.
