Safety instructions
Overview
This chapter states the general safety instructions that must be
followed when installing and operating the FIO-11 Analog I/O
Extension.
In addition to the safety instructions given below, read the
complete safety instructions of the specific drive you are working
on.
These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive.
Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death, or
damage the equipment.

General safety instructions

Warning! All electrical installation and maintenance work on the
drive should be carried out by qualified electricians only.
The drive and adjoining equipment must be properly earthed.
Do not attempt any work on a powered drive. After switching off
the mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5
minutes to discharge before working on the frequency converter,
the motor or the motor cable. It is good practice to check (with a
voltage indicating instrument) that the drive is in fact discharged
before beginning work.
The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerously high
voltage when mains power is applied, regardless of motor
operation.
There can be dangerous voltages inside the drive from external
control circuits even when the drive mains power is shut off.
Exercise appropriate care when working on the unit.

Introduction
Intended audience
The manual is intended for the people who are responsible for
commissioning and using the FIO-11 Analog I/O Extension. The
reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of electrical
fundamentals, electrical wiring practices and how to operate the
drive.

Before you start

It is assumed that the drive is installed and the drive power supply
is switched off before starting the installation of the extension
module. Ensure that all dangerous voltages connected from
external control circuits to the inputs and outputs of the drive are
switched off.
In addition to conventional installation tools, have the drive
manuals available during the installation as they contain important
information not included in this manual. The drive manuals are
referred to at various points of this document.

The FIO-11 Analog I/O Extension

The FIO-11 is a general purpose analog and digital input/output
extension. It offers three analog inputs, one analog output and two
digital inputs or outputs. All inputs and outputs are in the same
potential and have a common isolation to control electronics.

Installation
Warning! Follow the safety instructions given in this guide and in
the drives hardware manual.

Mounting
Warning! Before installation, switch off the drive power supply.
Wait for five minutes to ensure that the capacitor bank of the drive
is discharged. Switch off all dangerous voltages connected from
external control circuits to the inputs and outputs of the drive.
The FIO-11 is to be inserted into the option slot of the drive. The
module is held in place with plastic retaining clips and one screw.
On installation of the module, the signal and power connection to
the drive is automatically made through a 20-pin connector.
Mounting procedure:
Insert the module carefully into the option slot until the retaining
clips lock the module into position.
Fasten the screw (included) to the stand-off.
Note: Correct installation of the screw is essential for fulfilling the
EMC requirements and for proper operation of the module.
