12.2.1.1
Hardware Insertion and Removal
Remove power from the VFD. Using a T09 driver bit, backout the option module 2 screws
approximately 4 or 5 turns each. This should allow the locking tabs to retract to a flat
position. Insert the module into the VFD Fieldbus option module cage and gently press it
into place. Secure the T09 screws until they touch the module. . This will engage the
locking tabs to hold it in place. Do not overtighten.
Note: If the T09 screws are not backed out first the module will not insert/remove
properly.
To remove the option module remove power from the VFD. Using a T09 driver bit back out
the option module 2 screws approximately 4 or 5 turns each. Gently pull the module out
by pulling on the 2 screws.

IP address
The basic setting of the option card is the DHC protocol. To establish
communication with the network, set the IP address using the
Anybus IPconfig software. The freeware is available at
www.anybus.com.
Bus structure
You can use the integrated Ethernet switch to achieve line topologies
known from the Fieldbus technology. Other bus topologies, such as
star or tree, are also possible. Ring topologies are not supported.
