1. Introduction

This manual describes the EXP-MBTCP-ADV optional board
(code S5L89), a serial/MODBUS TCP/IP interface converter.
The EXP-MBTCP-ADV board connects to the RS485 port of the
AD200 family of drives and has an RJ45 port for connection via
Modbus TCP/IP protocol - used for Drive-PC communication
(with GF_eXpress configuration software) - or via HTTPS pro-
tocol - for Drive-PC/network communication (with GF_Drivelabs
web application).
This manual is written for technicians and designers responsible
for the maintenance and initial start-up.

1.1. Applicability

The card is designed to be easily installed inside the ADV200
family of drives: ADV200, ADV200-WA, ADV200-LC, FFE200 and
AFE200.

1.2. FW compatibility

The EXP-MBTCP-ADV board can only be used with drives with a
firmware version:

Device configuration with WEB-SERVER: via a WEB
page, the device enables configuration of the network and
MODBUS RTU communication;
Inverter data monitoring and configuration with GF-eXpress:
to read/write parameters and monitor FW and Application
parameters;
Communication with the drive makes the following possible:
debugging via Softscope,
creation of applications with MDPLC;
Multiple device accesses by several users:
the device with MODBUS TCP/IP can be used by several
users - up to a maximum of 5 simultaneous connections,
access to the WEB-SERVER configuration is permitted
for a single connection at a time. The user must log off to
enable a new connection.
