In addition to the user programmable parameters available in every control, many different expansion boards are available from Baldor to further customize the control to most any application. Expansion boards are categorized by compatibility into two groups: Group 1 and Group 2, see Table 1-1.
Claims for purchase price refunds, repairs, or replacements must be referred to BALDOR with all pertinent data as to the defect, the date purchased, the task performed by the control, and the problem encountered. No liability is assumed for expendable items such as fuses.
Safety Notice This equipment contains voltages that may be as great as 1000 volts! Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment. This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are driven by this equipment.

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. WARNING: Do not remove cover for at least five (5) minutes after AC power is disconnected to allow capacitors to discharge.
Expansion Board Description Introduction The Modbus Plus expansion board is a Group 2 expansion board. It allows a Series H control to communicate as a node on the Modbus Plus network. It has a DB9 connector to make connection to the network simple.
Do not proceed if you are unsure of the safety precautions described. If you have any questions, contact BALDOR before you proceed. Remove the expansion board from the shipping container. Remove all packing material from the board.
AC Controls (For all 15H Inverter, 21H Line Regen Inverter, 18H Vector, 22H Line Regen Vector and 23H Servo). Single Expansion Board Installation Procedure: Be sure drive operation is terminated and secured. Remove all power sources from the control. Wait at least 5 minutes for internal capacitors to discharge. Remove the four (4) Phillips head screws ( turn) that secure the control cover.

D3 and D4 Status LED D3 will flash to indicate that firmware is correctly loaded and running. D4 will flash to indicate that the interface circuits between Modbus Plus expansion board and the Series H control is running correctly. These LEDs flash at different rates and, if flashing, indicate proper operation.
Control Terminal Strip Connections For Serial Mode operation, the Input/Output terminal strip of the control (J1 of the Vector and DC controls and J4 of the Inverters) is wired as shown in Figure 4-2. Connect the Enable, Forward Enable Switch, Reverse Enable Switch, External Trip and Opto Common connections as shown.
Operating Mode parameter (such as changing and viewing parameters). However, commands intended to control the motor shaft require the control be in the Serial (Modbus Plus) Mode. Note: The firmware version of the Series H control must support the Baldor Binary Protocol (BBP).

This section describes the register interface used for data exchange with the Series H control. Motor drive parameters are mapped to Modbus Plus “Data/Holding” registers (4xxxx). Parameters can be read from or written to the Series H control by reading from or writing to the appropriate Modbus Plus registers.
