Subnetwork Connection
The drive sub network connects to the connector on the bottom of the gateway, using the supplied DB9-RJ45 cable. For a single drive
installation, the cable can be connected directly from the gateway to the Optidrive. For a network of multiple drives, the network can be easily
constructed using suitable RJ45 cables and splitters available from your Invertek Drives Sales Partner.
