ETH 100 it is advantageous to check that the drive s common serial communication data rate is set to its maximum speed Because the ETH 100 will communicate to each drive only at the drive s configured data rate this will provide the fastest response time for drive to network data transfers For information on checking the drive s common serial communication data rate refer to the appropriate manual supplied with your drive Note that the common serial communication parameters of each drive are handled independently by the ETH 100 which means that different drive families may be connected to different channels of the unit in any combination and that the drives connected to each channel may simultaneously communicate to the unit at completely different baud rates parity settings etc Installation of the ETH 100 Ethernet interface should only be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the maintenance and operation of the connected drives To install the ETH 100 complete the following steps 3 1 Installation for G7 Drives 1 CAUTION Verify that all input power sources to the drives to be connected have been turned OFF and are locked and tagged out 2 DANGER Wait at least 5 minutes for the drive s electrolytic capacitors to discharge before proceeding to the next step Do not touch any internal parts with power applied to the drive or for at least 5 minutes after power to the drive has been removed A hazard exist
