Zero-stack Tab and Cutout
Engaging the zero-stack tab and cutout from one drive module to another
makes efficient use of panel space, especially for high axis-count installations.

Shared-bus Connection
System The shared-bus connection system is used to extend the DC-bus power and
24V control power from one drive module to another.
DC-bus Connection System
The DC-bus connection system is required and comprised of these two
components:
• DC-bus links that are inserted between drive modules to extend the
DC-bus from one drive module to another.
• DC-bus end-caps that are inserted into the first and last drive modules
to cover the exposed DC-bus connector on both ends of the bus.
IMPORTANT Engaging the zero-stack tab and cutout from module-to-module is
required for any input power configuration. This is done to make sure that
the DC-bus connectors are spaced properly to accept the shared-bus
connection system.
