Slave ID Addressing Multiple drives with different slave addresses can be used with a single controller on single UART bus. For this all drives should have a unique Slave Address. Using Modbus commands, the slave ID can be set from 1 to 247. However, slave ID from 1 to 7 can be set using physical jumpers also.
Modbus Registers Range Data /Command Size Register Address Access Function And Default Specification Description (Decimal) value in HEX (Decimal) To save parameters in Drive (EEPROM) send Hex value XXFF to Address 0. Write Parameters FF (255) Where XX is slave ID ranging to EEPROM Read / from 01 to F7(1 - 247)
Modbus Register Mapping ➢ Device Modbus Address(MOD _ID) Address: 0x00 (40001) Default value: 0x0BFF MOD_ID[15:8] SP[7:0] Bits 15:8 MOD_ID [15:8]: Modbus address register bits Default: 0x0B Maximum value: 0xF7 Minimum value: 0x01 Bits 7:0 SP [7:0]: Save parameters Default: 0x00 If slave id is 7 then by writing 07FF in this address will save parameters in eeprom.

Deceleration is also applied as per set value when stopping the motor or decreasing the speed. ➢...
Control Modes Motor can be run in 3 different modes - 0: Analog Control Mode, 1: Joystick Control Mode, 2: Digital Control Mode Mode 0 - Analog Control Mode • In this mode drive can be controlled using an external potentiometer or analog voltage input. As this is a close loop drive, high torque (up to the maximum torque motor can provide) is available even at low speed.
Mode 1 - Joystick Control Mode • In this mode motor can be controlled using an external Joystick through ADC input. • Direction and Speed of motor can be changed in this mode by moving the Joystick. • Motor is in Brake condition at center point of Joystick. •...
Mode 2 – Digital Speed Control Mode • In this mode the drive works in speed mode. It tries to reach and maintain the speed as per set parameter. • The speed can vary depending upon load. • Make sure that the set speed is always less than the motor can actually reach, otherwise the drive can give uncertain result.
