Installing the
X5EIP01
Ethernet IP Option Board
with
115
VAC Encoder Interface
Introduction
The X5 frequency converters can be connected to Ethernet using an Ethernet IP option board, the X5EIP01.
Every device connected to an Ethernet network has two identifiers: a MAC address and an IP address. The MAC
address (formatted as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where xx is a hexadecimal byte) is unique to the device and cannot be
changed. The Ethernet board’s MAC address can be found on the sticker attached to the board or by using various
network configuration tools.
In a local network, IP addresses can be defined by a user as long as all units connected to the network are given the
same network portion of the address. For more information about IP addresses, contact your Network
Administrator. Overlapping IP addresses cause conflicts between devices.
The X5EIP01 also provides the option of controlling the X5 AC drive from 115 VAC control signals, or of connecting a
shaft-mounted encoder to the drive to improve speed regulation. Up to five channels of 115 VAC control are available
for use in selecting direction, preset speeds, or other drive functions.
With this option, an encoder with a nominal rating of up to 2048 pulses per revolution can be connected to the X5
unit to improve speed load regulation of the drive. Overall encoder frequency at maximum process speed must be
limited to 100kHz.
This option also provides two additional control relays, each rated for 115 VAC, 1 amp, or for 230 VAC, 0.5 amp.

NOTE:
This network communication interface included with the X5 option is warranted
to meet the core specifications for Modbus TCP. Many existing software applications are
custom-engineered and may contain “brand-specific” communication that will not be
supported by the X5 without modification. No guarantee of compatibility with any
specific system is made. The user is responsible for any interface software and
hardware needed to make an application function.
WARNING
SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT
This assembly contains static-sensitive components. It should be handled only by a static-safe installer,
using a grounded wrist strap.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause premature equipment failure.
