Install the Option
Remove the front covers of the drive before you install the option.
Refer to the drive manual for information about how to remove the front covers. Different drive sizes have different
cover removal procedures.
You can only install this option into the CN5-A connector on the drive control board.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not inspect, connect, or disconnect any wiring while the drive is energized. Failure to comply
will cause death or serious injury. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for at least the time specified on the
warning label. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED will extinguish
when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. When all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to confirm the drive is safe.
1. Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to dissipate, then remove the keypad
(D) and front covers (C, F).
Refer to the manual packaged with the drive for details on keypad and cover removal.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the option, drive, and
circuit boards. Failure to comply could cause ESD damage to circuitry.

5. Route the option wiring inside the enclosure as shown in Figure 8-B. Take proper precautions so that the front
covers will easily fit back onto the drive.
Users may also choose to route the option wiring through openings on the front cover of some models. Remove
the perforated tabs on the left side of the front cover as shown in Figure 8-A to create the necessary openings
on these models.
Refer to the Peripheral Devices & Options section of the drive instruction manual for more information.
Note: Separate communication cables from main circuit wiring and other electrical lines to avoid potential sources of electrical
interference.
Figure 8
Figure 8 Wire Routing Examples
6. Firmly connect the PROFINET Cat 5e communication cable to the option modular connector CN1 port 1 or port
2.
Install PROFINET communications cables apart from main-circuit wiring and other electrical and power lines.
Ensure the cable end is firmly connected (see Figure 16). Refer to Communication Cable Specifications on
page 21 for details.
Note: Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable while the drive is powered up or while the drive is in operation. Failure to
comply may cause a static discharge, which will cause the option card to stop working properly. Cycle power on the drive and
option card to reestablish functionality.
7. Use the second option modular connector CN1 port to daisy chain a series of drives where applicable.
A – Route wires through the openings provided on the
left side of the front cover.

YASKAWA ELECTRIC SIEP C730600 89C YASKAWA AC Drive Option SI-EP3 Technical Manual 19
Install the Option
Remove the front cover of the drive before you install the option.
Refer to the drive manual for information about how to remove the front cover. Different drive sizes have different cover
removal procedures.
You can only install this option into the CN5-A connector on the drive control board.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not inspect, connect, or disconnect any wiring while the drive is energized. Failure to comply
will cause death or serious injury. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for at least the time specified on the
warning label. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED will extinguish
when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. When all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to confirm the drive is safe.
1. Affix the LED label (E) in the appropriate position on the drive front cover (D).

2. Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to dissipate, then remove the front
cover (D).
Refer to the manual packaged with the drive for details on cover removal.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the option, drive, and
circuit boards. Failure to comply could cause ESD damage to circuitry.

4. Insert the option card (B) into the CN5-A connector (J) on the drive and fasten it into place using the included
screws (C). Tighten both screws to 0.5 to 0.6 Nm (4.4 to 5.3 inlb).
Note: Installing the option card on GA700 and GA800 drives requires only two screws and does not require a ground wire. The option
package ships with three screws and a ground wire for installation on other product series. Do not use the ground wire or the
extra screw.

5. Firmly connect the PROFINET Cat 5e communication cable to the option modular connector CN1 port 1 or port
2. Install PROFINET communications cables apart from main-circuit wiring and other electrical and power lines.
Ensure the cable end is firmly connected (see Figure 16). Refer to Communication Cable Specifications on
page 21 for details.
Note: 1. Separate communication cables from main circuit wiring and other electrical lines.
2. Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable while the drive is powered up or while the drive is in operation. Failure to
comply may cause a static discharge, which will cause the option card to stop working properly. Cycle power on the drive and option
card to reestablish functionality.
3. Maximum transmission distance is 100 m (328 ft). Minimum wiring distance between stations is 0.2 m (7.9 in).
6. Use the second option modular connector CN1 port to daisy chain a series of drives where applicable.
7. Reattach the LED Status Ring board (I).
Use the open space provided inside the LED Status Ring board to route option wiring.
NOTICE: Do not pinch cables between the front cover or the LED Status Ring board and the drive. Failure to comply could cause
erroneous operation.
