Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Integration: Power down the drive completely before inserting the VW3A3310 module into the designated communication expansion slot.
• Mounting: Ensure the module is fully seated and secured according to the drive’s mechanical specifications to prevent disconnection due to vibration.
• Cabling: Use shielded Cat5e or Cat6 industrial Ethernet cables to connect to the network port to minimize signal interference.
• Configuration: After physical installation, configure the drive’s communication parameters via the human-machine interface (HMI) or software tool to assign a valid IP address and operational settings.
• Environment: Maintain the communication module within the specified operating temperature and humidity limits of the host drive to ensure reliable network uptime.
