RJ45 DSI Splitter Cable
The PowerFlex 400 drive provides a RJ45 port to allow the connection of a
single peripheral device. The RJ45 DSI Splitter Cable can be used to connect a
second DSI peripheral device to the drive.
Connectivity Guidelines
• Two peripherals maximum can be attached to a drive.
• If a single peripheral is used, it must be connected to the Master port
(M) on the splitter and configured for “Auto” (default) or “Master.”
Parameter 9 [Device Type] on the DSI keypads and Parameter 1
[Adapter Cfg] on the Serial Converter are used to select the type
(Auto / Master / Slave).
•
Do not use the RJ45 Splitter Cable with a drive that has an internal
network communication adapter installed.
Since only one additional
peripheral can be added, the second peripheral can be connected directly
to the RJ45 port on the drive. The internal Comm is always the Master,
therefore the external peripheral must be configured as “Auto” (for
temporary connections) or “Slave” (for permanent connections).
• If two peripherals will be powered up at the same time, one must be
configured as the “Master” and connected to the Master port (M) and
the other must be connected as the “Slave” and connected to the Slave
port (S).

ATTENTION:
Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The peripherals
may not perform as intended if these Connectivity Guidelines are not
followed. Precautions should be taken to follow these Connectivity
Guidelines.
