Preface
This instruction manual has been prepared to help you connect your iMASTER Standard A1 inverter to
Industrial Ethernet networks using the A1-ETHERNET Multiprotocol Ethernet interface card. This
instruction manual does not contain inverter usage instructions. Please refer to this instruction manual in
conjunction with the applicable inverter instruction manual in order to become familiar with the proper
handling, installation and operation of this product. Improper handling or installation procedures may
result in incorrect operation or premature product failure.

These documents are subject to change without notice. Please be sure to refer to the most recent
available versions.
Safety precautions
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly prior to proceeding with installation, connections,
operation, or maintenance and inspection. Additionally, ensure that all aspects of the system are fully
understood, and familiarize yourself with all safety information and precautions before operating the
inverter.
Safety precautions in this instruction manual are classified into the following two categories:
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may lead
to dangerous conditions, possibly resulting in death or serious
bodily injuries.
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may lead
to dangerous conditions, possibly resulting in minor or light bodily
injuries and/or substantial property damage.
Failure to heed the information contained under the CAUTION title can also result in serious
consequences. These safety precautions are of utmost importance and must be observed at all times.

Installation and Wiring
•To avoid electrical shock, remove all power from the inverter and wait at least five minutes prior to
starting installation. Additionally, confirm that the DC link bus voltage as measured between the P
(+) and N (-) terminals is less than 25 VDC.
•Installation should be performed only by qualified personnel.
•To avoid electrical shock, do not operate the inverter with the front cover or wiring cover removed,
as accidental contact with exposed high-voltage terminals and internal components may occur.
•To prevent explosions or similar damage, ensure that all cables are properly connected to the
correct terminals, and observe all wiring polarity indic ators.
•Do not install or operate the interface if it is damaged or has parts missing.
•Prevent conductive items such as screws and metal fragments, or flammable substances such as
oil, lint, paper fibers and sawdust from entering the inverter and interface card enclosure.
•Incorrect handling during installation or removal may cause equipment failure.
•Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching.
•To prevent damage due to electrostatic discharge, always touch a grounded piece of metal prior
to touching any equipment.
•Do not stand on or rest heavy objects on the equipment.
•To prevent burns from hot components, do not touch the inverter while power is on, or for some
time after power is removed.
•Electrical noise may be emitted from the inverter, motor and wires. Always implement appropriate
countermeasures to prevent nearby sensors and devices from malfunctioning due to such noise.
Operation
•To avoid electrical shock, do not open the front cover of the inverter while power is on or while the
inverter is running.
•To avoid electrical shock, do not operate switches with wet hands.
•If the inverter’s parameters are incorrectly configured, or configured without adequate
understanding of the appropriate inverter Instruction Manual and User's Manual, the motor may
rotate with a torque or at a speed not permitted for the machine. Confirm the settings of all
parameters prior to running the inverter.

Maintenance, inspection, and parts replacement
•To avoid electrical shock, remove all power from the inverter and wait at least five minutes prior to
starting inspection. Additionally, confirm that the DC link bus voltage as measured between the P
(+) and N (-) terminals is less than 25 VDC.
•Maintenance, inspection, and parts replacement should be performed only by qualified personnel.
•Remove all watches, rings and other metallic objects prior to starting work.
•To avoid electrical shock or other injuries, always use insulated tools.
Disposal
•Contact the local or state environmental agency in your area for details on the disposal of
electrical components and packaging.
Other
•Do not attempt to modify the equipment: doing so may cause electrical shock or injuries.
•For clarity purposes, illustrations in this manual may be drawn with covers or safety guards
removed. Ensure all covers and safety guards are properly installed prior to starting operation.
•Do not perform hi-pot tests on the equipment.
•Performing a parameter initialization (parameter 97.01) may res et all inverter parameters to their
factory default settings. After performing this operation, remember to reenter any custom
parameter values prior to starting operation.

1 PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Product Overview
The A1-ETHERNET Multiprotocol Ethernet interfac e allows information to be transferred seamlessly
between an iMASTER Standard A1 inverter and several Ethernet-based fieldbus networks with minimal
configuration requirements. The interface installs directly onto the inverter, and presents two RJ-45 jacks
with an embedded 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet switch for connection to the Ethernet network. In
addition to the supported fieldbus protocols, the interface also hosts a fully-customizable embedded web
server, which provides access to inverter information via a standard web browser for remote monitoring
and control.
Before us ing the interface, please familiarize yourself with the product and be sure to thoroughly read
the instructions and precautions contained in this manual. In addition, please make sure that this
instruction manual is delivered to the end user of the interface, and keep this instruction manual in a safe
place for future reference or unit inspection.
Note that different interface firmware versions may provide varying levels of support for the various
protocols. When using this manual, therefore, always keep in mind the release date of the firmware
version running on your interface as it must correspond to this manual’s respective release date in order
for all documented aspects to apply.
Supported Protocols
The interface currently provides server support for the following fieldbus protocols:
•Modbus/TCP Server
•EtherNet/IP Server (DLR node)
•Allen Bradley CSP Server (also known as “PCCC” and “AB Ethernet”)
•BACnet/IP Server
•PROFINET IO Device (MRP client)
•EtherCAT Slave
