RS485 Installation and Set-...
The Modbus RTU protocol establishes the format for the
master query by providing the following information:
•
The device (or broadcast) address.
•
A function code defining the requested action.
•
Any data to be sent.
•
An error-checking field.
The response telegram of the slave device is also
constructed using Modbus protocol. It contains fields
confirming the action taken, any data to be returned, and
an error-checking field. If an error occurs in receipt of the
telegram, or if the slave is unable to perform the requested
action, the slave constructs and sends an error message.
Alternatively, a timeout occurs.
7.6.4 Frequency Converter with Modbus
RTU
The frequency converter communicates in Modbus RTU
format over the built-in RS485 interface. Modbus RTU
provides access to the control word and bus reference of
the frequency converter.
The control word allows the Modbus master to control
several important functions of the frequency converter:
•
Start.
•
Various stops:
- Coast stop.
- Quick stop.
- DC brake stop.
- Normal (ramp) stop.
•
Reset after a fault trip.
•
Run at various preset speeds.
•
Run in reverse.
•
Change the active set-up.
•
Control built-in relay of the frequency converter.
The bus reference is commonly used for speed control. It is
also possible to access the parameters, read their values,
and, where possible, write values to them. Accessing the
parameters offers a range of control options, including
controlling the setpoint of the frequency converter when
its internal PI controller is used.

Structure

7.8.1 Introduction

The controllers are set up to communicate on the Modbus
network using RTU (remote terminal unit) mode, with each
byte in a telegram containing 2 4-bit hexadecimal
characters. The format for each byte is shown in Table 7.12.

7.8.2 Modbus RTU Telegram Structure

The transmitting device places a Modbus RTU telegram
into a frame with a known beginning and ending point.
This allows receiving devices to begin at the start of the
telegram, read the address portion, determine which
device is addressed (or all devices, if the telegram is
broadcast), and to recognize when the telegram is
completed. Partial telegrams are detected and errors set as
a result. Characters for transmission must be in
hexadecimal 00–FF format in each field. The frequency
converter continuously monitors the network bus, also
