Modbus RTU
The Modbus RTU communication protocol
accesses the internal Danfoss FC protocol
Option Card
within the VLT 6000 to control the drive through
Baud Rate
serial communications. (The Modbus-to-FC
and Parity
interface uses 9600 Baud, 8 Bits, Even Parity,
Settings
and 1 Stop Bit.)
The Modbus RTU option card has a 9-input
DIP switch for setting baud rate and parity (see
figure below). The option card generally uses
9600 baud rate with no parity. Set the switch
positions in accordance with the following
instructions.
• Set input switches 1-3 to ON to select 9600
• Set input switches 4 and 5 to ON to select
