2 Installation and Wiring Installation Note Install the card only when the AC drive is completely de‑energized. Align the connector and positioning hole of the I/O expansion card with those on the AC drive control board. Fasten the card on the board with a screw. The installation is completed as shown in the following figure.
Wiring ■ DO terminal To use the DO terminal to drive a relay, connect a snubber diode to both ends of the relay coil. Otherwise, the 24 VDC power supply may be damaged. Ensure that the driving capacity does not exceed 50 mA. ‑...
