Modbus Ethernet Communication
4.4 Planning/Configuring
The network status cannot be automatically detected. Instead, a "Pulse Timeout" method is
used to set the network status flags.
The "Pulse Timeout" status detection must be set up in the menu system, and has to be
"strobed" by a network device that is communicating with the drive.
Procedure for Pulse Timeout Setup
1. Pick one of the 62 selectable "Data to Drive" registers and set the pick list item to "Net Input
Pulse".
2. Set parameter 'Network Timeout' (9934) for network 1 and (9935) for network 2, in the
'Config Parameters' menu, to a value (in seconds) to activate the network timeout. 0
seconds = disable timeout.
Pulse Timeout Operation
● A network device must set a unique (different) value into the "Net Input Pulse" register
before an internal timer reaches the "Network Timeout" value.
● If the network device writes a unique value, the network status flag is set to "1" and the
internal timer is reset.
● If the network device fails to write a unique value to the "Net Input Pulse" register before
the internal timer times to the value set by the "Network Timeout" parameter then the status
flag is set to "0".

Setup Example

Task
Set up network to indicate the following drive outputs on the PLC:
● general status
● motor speed
● output power
● number of active faults.
Procedure
Refer to Table
Address in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing to establish whether an address or
register is changeable.
To indicate general status and motor speed:
1. The table shows that:
● 'Data from Drive 01' is not changeable; it is set to indicate general status. No action is
required.
● 'Data from Drive 02' is not changeable; it is set to indicate motor speed. No action is required.
