This chapter briefly describes the operation principle and layout of the interface unit. Product overview FDPI-02 diagnostics and panel interface is used for branching the RS-485 panel bus and chaining a control panel or PC tool to several drives. The interface unit provides a feed-through connection between a control unit and an F-type option module.

Mechanical installation 13 Mechanical installation Contents of this chapter This chapter contains instructions on installing the interface unit and installing an F-option module onto the interface unit.
Stop the drive and do the Electrical safety precautions in the drive safety instructions before you start the work. On the FDPI-02 interface unit, move the slide for the chassis screw to the right. Insert the interface unit into its designated option slot on the control unit (usually the option slot nearest to the panel bus connector of the control unit).
Mechanical installation 15 Installing an F-option module onto the installed FDPI-02 WARNING! Obey the safety instructions of the drive. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do installation, commissioning or maintenance work.
Electrical installation 17 Electrical installation Contents of this chapter This chapter contains instructions on connections, bus chaining and bus termination associated with the interface unit.
Connecting the FDPI-02 to the control unit Connect the RJ-45 end of the connection cable to the panel bus connector of the control unit. The cable is included in the delivery. Connect the RJ-11 end of the cable to connector X1 of the FDPI-02 unit.
RS-485 bus (page 34). Connect the other end of the cable to connector X2 of the FDPI-02 unit. Check that termination switch S1 of the FDPI-02 is in the OPEN position. Note: When a control panel is connected to the bus end, it terminates the bus. Only the other end must be terminated by turning termination switch S1 to the TERMINATED position.
Electrical installation 21 Chaining a control panel to several drives You can use the FDPI-02 interface unit for chaining a control panel to several drives. After connecting the first interface unit to the drive’s control unit and the control panel to the interface unit, continue as follows: Install and connect the second interface unit to the second drive’s control unit.
Electrical installation 23 Connecting a PC to the FDPI-02 You can connect a PC to the FDPI-02 unit either through a control panel or to a commercial USB - RS-485 converter or Ethernet - RS-485 converter. Note: • Never connect the PC to connector X2 of FDPI-02. The panel voltage or LED signals may cause damage to the PC.
Connecting a PC through a commercial converter Note: • Never connect the PC to connector X2 of FDPI-02. The panel voltage or LED signals may cause damage to the PC. • Simultaneous control panel and PC communication is not allowed.

For information on the converter connectors, see the appropriate converter manual. For more information on the cable, see RS-485 bus. Connect the other end of the cable to connector X3 of the FDPI-02 unit. For the X3 pin information, see section Pin allocation (page 32).
Chaining a PC connected to a commercial converter ■ You can use the FDPI-02 interface unit for chaining a PC to several drives through a commercial USB - RS-485 converter or Ethernet - RS-485 converter. After connecting the first FDPI-02 interface unit to the drive’s control unit and the commercial converter to the interface unit, continue as follows: Install and connect the second interface unit to the second drive’s control unit.

Electrical installation 27 Note: Maximum 32 nodes can be connected to the RS-485 bus. For a chaining example, see section Example: Chaining a PC through a commercial converter on page To enable the panel bus networking, select in the Options menu of the control panel the Select drive menu, then Panel bus and On.
In the last FDPI-02 interface unit of the bus, termination switch S1 of the interface unit must be turned to the TERMINATED position. In the following examples, ZCU-13 is used as the control unit.
