Figure 35: PU Port Connections 

 

 

For 700-series drives, the gateway can connect to the ASD via either the 
PU (panel) connector as indicated in Figure 35, or via the on-board RS485 
terminals.  Because both of these ports externally present a 4-wire RS485 
network, connecting them to the gateway requires jumpering the network 
wires for 2-wire format (i.e. connecting SDA-RDA and SDB-RDB).  When 
using the on-board RS485 terminals, connect as shown in Figure 36.
