About these instructions This documentation applies to the RS-485 / Modbus communications option for the SMVector inverter and should be used in conjunction with the SMVector Operating Instructions (Document SV01) that shipped with the drive. These documents should be read carefully as they contain important technical data and describe the installation and operation of the drive and this option.
Safety information Safety information General Some parts of Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can be live, moving and rotating. Some surfaces can be hot. Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, and incorrect installation or operation creates the risk of severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

Safety information DANGER! • After the controller has been disconnected from the supply voltage, live components and power connection must not be touched immediately, since capacitors could be charged. Please observe the corresponding notes on the controller. • Do not continuously cycle input power to the controller more than once every three minutes.
Introduction Introduction This reference guide assumes that the reader has a working knowledge of the Modbus RTU Protocol and familiarity with the programming and operation of motion control equipment. This guide is intended as a reference only. Overview Modbus is an internationally accepted asynchronous serial protocol designed for commercial and industrial automation applications.
Installation Installation Installing the Module into the Terminal Cover 1 2 3 4 5 0.5 Nm/ 4.5 lb-in < _ 2.8 mm² (12-22 AWG) RS-485 / Modbus RTU terminal block Terminal Description Important For reliable communication make sure terminal is connected to the Modbus network Earth ground / shield GND/common.
Commissioning Extended Parameters for RS-485/Modbus RTU In addition to the drive parameters that are detailed in the Installation and Operation manual, the installation of the RS485/Modbus RTU module will give access to the 400 series parameters that are exclusive to this communication module.

Commissioning Modbus Protocol Details Data Transmission This drive uses the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) transmission mode of the Modbus Protocol and operates as a Slave device on the network. All devices communicating with the drive(s) must be a Modbus Master. Register Numbering Modbus 3X and 4X register numbers are always one greater than the actual drive register numbers.
Commissioning In some instances, multiple words can be read for a single register. When this is done for the registers below, the response from the drive will be for the number of words, rather than the number of registers, requested: •...

Commissioning Commissioning Drive Monitoring The network can always read drive parameters as long as the Modbus communications are enabled (i.e. P400 = 2) and configured properly (see P410-412). Drive Programming and Control Network Control must be enabled for the network to program drive parameters or take control of an actual drive.
Commissioning When the Lock Security (bit 1) is set, the drive drops out of NETWORK control and switches to the normal source of control. If P100 = 3 (NETWORK ONLY) and the drive is running, the drive will also be stopped (according to P111). Drive parameters and status registers can always be read, even when P100=2,5 and/or drive control and parameters are locked.
Commissioning Typical Network Applications Controlling the Drive (e.g. starting the drive) The following is the sequence of events for starting the drive via the network: 1) Unlock the Drive Control register (#1) by writing a 0 (or the drive password) to Register #48.
Commissioning 3) Modify the appropriate NETWORK setpoint register. Register #44 - Network Speed Command Register #45 - Network PID Setpoint Command Register #46 - Network Torque Command 4) Lock Control when drive operations are complete by writing a 0x0002 (i.e. setting the Lock Security bit) to Register #1.
