speed drive modules
7FW-08 Quick Start Guide

Mounting the controller on a 35mm DIN rail
1. Mount a section of 35 mm or 1.38 in. DIN rail horizontally on the enclosure base plate.
Figure 4: 35 mm DIN rail
2. On the back of the controller, extend the mounting clips.
Figure 5: Extending the mounting clips
3. Hang the top mounting clip on the DIN rail and then place the controller on the DIN rail.
Figure 6: Placing the controller on the DIN rail
4. To secure the controller to the DIN rail, close the mounting clip.
Figure 7: Closing the mounting clips (rear view)
5. Optional: For added security, use DIN rail end clips. For more information, see DIN rail end
clips in .
Mounting the controller to an enclosure base plate
About this task:
If a DIN rail mount is not practical, the controller features two mounting holes to screw mount the
controller to an enclosure base plate.
1. Place the controller on the enclosure surface and mark the enclosure mounting holes on the
surface. For more information, see Enclosure mounting holes in .
2. Drill both holes in the enclosure base plate.
3. Screw the controller to the enclosure base plate.
Installing the antennas
1. Locate the two RP-SMA female jacks. For more information, see RP-SMA female antenna jacks
in Table .
2. To connect the male antenna connectors to the a female RP-SMA jacks, screw on the
antennas in a clockwise direction.
FW-08 Quick Start Guide8

Note: For a secure connection, when you tighten the antennas to the female RP-SMA
jack, hold the metal part of the RP-SMA male connector. A poor connection can reduce
reception.
Figure 8: Screwing on the antennas
3. Adjust the direction of the antennas to find the best reception.
Removing the controller cover
About this task:
Remove the controller cover to access the circuitry, jumpers, and to better access the reset and
service buttons.
1. Use a Philips screwdriver to unscrew both of the top cover screws.
Figure 9: Unscrewing the cover
2. Hold both ends of the top cover and remove it. If the top cover is stuck, separate the cover
with a standard screwdriver.

setup
WARNING: Use Class 2 device wiring. Do not reclassify and install as Class 1, 3 or power and
lighting wiring.
CAUTION: DO1 and DO2 are voltage free contacts. Use either an external 24 VAC or 24 VDC
power source.

FW input, output, and 24 VAC Class 2 transformer power
input wiring diagrams
See the following wiring diagrams for each wiring configuration:
WARNING: There is a risk of electric shock. Before you make electrical connections, disconnect
the power supply.
CAUTION: Before you connect the supply power to the controller, complete the wiring and
check all wiring connections. Short circuits or incorrectly connected wires can damage the
controller and void any warranty.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the controller electrical ratings. Exceeding controller electrical
ratings can result in permanent damage to the controller and void any warranty.
Important: Use copper conductors only. Wire in accordance with local, national, and regional
regulations.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage controller components. To avoid damaging
the controller, use proper electrostatic discharge precautions during installation, setup, and
servicing.

Input and output terminal wiring considerations
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from high-voltage wiring.
• For all input and output cables, use twisted, insulated, and stranded copper wires.
• Use shielded cables for input and output cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
• Cable runs over 30 m or 100 ft require an offset in the input and output software setup.
Power supply terminal wiring
Connect the 24 VAC supply power wires from the transformer to the HOT and COM power terminals
as shown in the following figure.
Note: The supply power wire colors may differ on transformers from other manufacturers.
Refer to the transformer manufacturer’s instructions and the project installation drawings for
wiring details.
Important: To reduce noise, interference, and ground loop problems, connect a 24 VAC
supply power to the controller and to all other network devices so that transformer phasing is
uniform across network devices. The controller does not require an earth ground connection.
However, when you need to ground the secondary of the 24 VAC transformer, make only one
ground connection near the transformer. For more information, see the following figure.
FW-08 Quick Start Guide14

Figure 18: Transformer grounding
CAUTION: To avoid property damage, before you apply power to the system, check all wiring
connections. If you wire this terminal incorrectly, a short circuit can occur across the 24 VAC
power supply on the controller. A short circuit can cause a tripped circuit breaker or a blown
fuse. If you use a transformer with a built-in fuse, you may need to replace the transformer.
Controller interfacing
To interface with a controller and its inputs and outputs with CPT and the controller's web server,
establish a connection from your device. You can connect to your controller with a device with the
following options:
Note: Use the following procedures to set up a controller on a primary network. For more
information on a secondary network setup, refer to the product's User Reference Guide.
• To connect to your controller with a computer or laptop by using an Ethernet LAN cable, see
Establishing a connection to a controller with an Ethernet LAN cable.
• To connect to your controller with a mobile device, computer, or laptop with Wi-Fi, see
Establishing a connection to a controller with Wi-Fi.
Interface with your controller with the following user interfaces:
• Access the controller dashboard and make network, DateTime, and service configuration
changes on the controller's web server. For more information, see Interfacing with a
controller's web server.
• Program controller object logic with CPT. For more information, see Interfacing with controller
objects using CPT.
Establishing a connection to a controller with an Ethernet
LAN cable
1. Connect your computer to the controller with an Ethernet LAN cable.
2. Set up your network adapter in the same range as the controller. To change your IP address,
subnet mask and gateway, open the command prompt and complete one of the following
options, depending on your operating system:
Note: Use the same subnet mask and gateway as the controller. For the IP address,
enter the same IP address as the controller, but change the last octet to a unique
number. Use a high number that is less than 255 to avoid using an IP address that is
already in use. For more information on your controller's IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway, see Primary network default IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
