9.4. FC Protocol Message Framing Structure - FC 300

9.4.1. Content of a Character (byte)
Each character transferred begins with a start bit. Then 8 data bits are transferred, corresponding
to a byte. Each character is secured via a parity bit, which is set at "1" when it reaches parity (i.e.,
when there is an equal number of 1's in the 8 data bits and the parity bit in total). A character is
completed by a stop bit, thus consisting of 11 bits in all.
9.4.2. Message Structure
Each telegram begins with a start character (STX)=02 Hex, followed by a byte denoting the mes-
sage length (LGE) and a byte denoting the adjustable frequency drive address (ADR). A number
of data bytes (variable, depending on the type of telegram) follows. The telegram is completed
by a data control byte (BCC).

9.4.3. Message Length (LGE)
The message length is the number of data bytes plus the address byte ADR and the data control
byte BCC.
The length of telegrams with 4 data bytes is
The length of telegrams with 12 data bytes is
The length of telegrams containing texts is
1) The 10 represents the fixed characters, while the "n" is variable (depending on the length of
the text).
9.4.4. Adjustable Frequency Drive Address (ADR)
Two different address formats are used.
The address range of the adjustable frequency drive is either 1-31 or 1-126.
1. Address format 1-31:
Bit 7 = 0 (address format 1-31 active)
