: Remove the front cover and put the cables
through the control cable lead-throughs.

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. With a panel platform, move the
terminating switch into the outer position.Termination should be off on all other
units.
4. On the control panel, switch on the panel bus functionality (OptionsSelect
drivePanel bus). The unit to be controlled can now be selected from the list
under OptionsSelect drive.
