Drive Will Not Connect

• Card
  • Confirm Card Module is installed. The ATV600 drive (only) has integrated Modbus TCP and not Ethernet IP. Option module card must be used.
    • FA314976:https://www.se.com/us/en/faqs/FA314976/
  • Only works with Firmware V1.5IExx or above for ATV600 drives only. Should work on any ATV900 drive.
• Installation
  • Make sure proper Ethernet cable is connected to the appropriate Ethernet serial port.
  • Pin Layout - Make sure to use proper pinouts for cables.
    • FA314982:​https://www.se.com/ww/en/faqs/FA314982/
  • Isolate any electrical interference
    • Use conduits or other isolating materials
    • Separate control and power connections
  • Add terminating resistors if the drive is at the end or the last of device in the network.
  • Network
    • Check for any duplicate addresses on the network.
    • Check to make sure you have proper configured assemblies
  • Programming
    • Check Basic Settings on the drive. Make sure the following is set:
      • IP Assignment Mode
        • Set to Fixed
      • IP Address
      • Subnet Mask
      • Gateway Address

• ​​Troubleshooting
  • Check Communication Map
    • [Display] [Communication map]
      • ​​Check Command Channel
      • Command Register
      • Ref Freq Channel
      • Ref Freq
