Equipment Hazard! Unintended Start! Rotating shafts and electrical equipment In Auto Mode, a start signal via digital can be hazardous. Therefore, it is strongly inputs may cause drive to start at any time. recommended that all electrical work The drive, motor, and any driven equipment conform to National Electrical Code (NEC) must be in operational readiness.

Introduction This manual provides comprehensive For specific information on installation and instructions on the set up and operation of operation of the variable frequency drive, refer the Modbus RTU protocol for the TR1 Series to the TR1 Series VFD Installation and VFD variable frequency drive to communicate Operation Instruction Manual.
Modbus RTU The common language used by all Modicon queries). The other devices (slaves) respond Overview controllers is the Modbus RTU (Remote by supplying the requested data to the Terminal Unit) protocol. This protocol defines master, or by taking the action requested in a message structure that controllers will the query.
Network Connect the Modbus RTU control wiring to Connection drive terminals (+)68 and (-)69 on control card RTxD' (-) as illustrated. RTxD (+) Use 18 - 24 AWG (1.5 mm) shielded, twisted pair control wiring. Tighten to 4.5 in-lbs (0.5 Nm).
Remote The controllers are setup to communicate on message contains two 4-bit hexadecimal Terminal the Modbus network using RTU (Remote characters.

Memory This is primarily used to control drive operation Mapping: and to read out basic status information. Coils Coil 65 determines whether parameter changes made via Modbus RTU are held in the temporary memory (RAM) of the drive or are, in addition, written to permanent memory (EEPROM).

Memory Holding registers are used to read and write For parameters that involve selecting from a Mapping: drive parameters. They are standard Modbus list, refer to the individual parameter description 4x registers, 40001 through 4000F (see table in the drive instruction manual to determine Holding below).
Memory A coil or register number is offset by one from Mapping: the coil or register address. Coil and register numbers start at 1 while the coil and register Numbering addresses for them start at 0. Therefore, to find a coil or register address from the number, subtract 1.
Example 1 While this example shows both starting the drive and giving it a reference via Modbus RTU, it is possible to simply give it a start command. To do this, force only coils 1 through 16. • • Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3...
Example 3 While detailed status information can be read by accessing the Data Read-out parameters in the 500 group of parameters and some other locations, it is also possible to read general drive status by reading coils 33 through 64. Coils 33 through 48 contain the drive Status Word.
