DL260 to G2 Drive

[tommohar 0]

I would like to use Modbus for communication between a DL260 processor and a G2 Drive. The manual gives a wiring diagram for the DL250 to G2 drive but not the DL260. I called automation direct tech support and the person I talked to didn't know either........ ....Can anyone give me some direction? Is there an off the shelf cable I could use?

Are you talking about the GS-2 drive? If so, there is a wiring diagram for this in the GS-2 manual on the web page 5-13. Basically you jump together pins 11 to 14 on the HD15 connector of the 260. You also jump together pins 12 to 15. Then you jump together pins 6 to 10 and run this to pin 3 of the drive. You jump pins 9 to 13 and run this to pin 4 of the drive. YOu then run pin 7 of the 260 to pin 2 of the drive. If they have a cable that does, I've never seen it and it's not listed in their manual either.
