Appendix D
RJ45 DSI Splitter Cable
The PowerFlex 40P drive provides a RJ45 port to allow the connection
of a single peripheral device. The RJ45 DSI Splitter Cable can be used to
connect a second DSI peripheral device to the drive.
Connectivity Guidelines
• Two peripherals maximum can be attached to a drive.
• If a single peripheral is used, it must be connected to the Master port
(M) on the splitter and configured for “Auto” (default) or “Master.”
Parameter 9 [Device Type] on the DSI / MDI keypads and Parameter
1 [Adapter Cfg] on the Serial Converter are used to select the type
(Auto / Master / Slave).
• Do not use the RJ45 Splitter Cable with a drive that has an
internal network communication adapter installed. Since only
one additional peripheral can be added, the second peripheral can be
connected directly to the RJ45 port on the drive. The internal Comm
is always the Master, therefore the external peripheral must be
configured as “Auto” (for temporary connections) or “Slave” (for
permanent connections).
• If two peripherals will be powered up at the same time, one must be
configured as the “Master” and connected to the Master port (M) and
the other must be connected as the “Slave” and connected to the
Slave port (S).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The
peripherals may not perform as intended if these Connectivity
Guidelines are not followed. Precautions should be taken to follow
these Connectivity Guidelines.
