94 Electrical installationConnecting a control panelWith door mounting kit (option +J410)), connect the control panel to the control unit asfollows:1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the control panel.2. Connect the other end of the cable to the X13 connector of the control unit.Controlling several drives from one control panel throughpanel busOne control panel (or PC) can be used to control several drives by constructing a panelbus. An FDPI-02 module is required. For further information, see FDPI-02 diagnostics andpanel interface user’s manual (3AUA0000113618 [English]). An FDPI-02 module isrequired. For further information, see FDPI-02 diagnostics and panel interface user’smanual (3AUA0000113618 [English]).1. Connect the panel to one drive using an Ethernet (eg. CAT5E) cable.• Use Menu – Settings – Edit texts – Drive to give a descriptive name to the drive.• Use parameter 49.01 to assign the drive with a unique node ID number.• Set other parameters in group 49 if necessary.• Use parameter 49.06 to validate any changes.Repeat the above for each drive.2. With the panel connected to one drive, link the drives together using Ethernet cables.(Each panel platform has two connectors.)3. In the last drive, switch bus termination on by moving the terminating switch into theouter position.Termination should be off on all other drives.4. On the control panel, switch on the panel bus functionality (Options – Select drive –Panel bus). The drive to be controlled can now be selected from the list underOptions – Select drive.If a PC is connected to the control panel, the drives on the panel bus are automaticallydisplayed in the Drive composer tool.
