ABOUT THE MANUAL This manual supplies the necessary information for the operation of the CFW320 frequency inverter using the Modbus RTU protocol. This manual must be used together with the CFW320 user’s manual and programming manual. ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS ASCII...
These modes define the way the message bytes are transmitted. It is not possible to use the two transmission modes in the same network. The CFW320 frequency inverter uses only the RTU mode for the telegram transmission. It allows up to 247 slaves, but only one master.
INTERFACE DESCRIPTION 2 INTERFACE DESCRIPTION The interfaces for serial communication RS485, RS232 or USB available for the CFW320 frequency inverter depend on the selected communication module for the product. Following are presented information about the connection and installation of the equipment, using different communication modules.
Enable the termination resistors only at two points, at the extremes of the main bus, even if there are derivations from the bus. 2.2 USB COMMUNICATION MODULE (CFW320-CUSB) Figure 2.2: Module with USB connection For this module, a USB interface with mini-USB conector is available. When connecting the USB interface, it will be recognized as a USB to serial converter, and a virtual COM port will be created .
2.3.3 Connection to the RS232 Network For the connection of the CFW320 frequency inverter using the RS232 interface, the following points must be observed: The frequency inverter RX and TX signals must be connected respectively to the master TX and RX, besides the connection of the reference signal (GND).
INSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT IN NETWORK 3 INSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT IN NETWORK For the connection of the frequency inverter CFW320 using the RS485 interface, the following points must be observed: 3.1 COMMUNICATION RATE The RS485 interfaces of the CFW320 frequency inverter can communicate using the rates defined on the Table 3.1...
Use fastening clamps in the main grounding point, allowing a greater contact area between the cable shield and the grounding. Avoid connection of the cable in multiple grounding points, especially where groundings of different potentials are present. CFW320 | 11...
The inverter status word is unique for all the sources and can only be accessed for reading. It indicates all the relevant operating status and modes of the inverter. The function of each bit of P680 is described in Table 4.1 on page CFW320 | 12...

2048 (0800h), then, to obtain the value in Hz one must calculate: 8192 => 60 Hz 2048 => Frequency 2048 x 60 Frequency = 8192 Frequency = 15 Hz Negative values in this parameter indicate that the motor is running in the reverse direction. CFW320 | 13...

To enable the use of the reference written in this parameter, the product must be programmed to use the speed reference via communication network. This is programming is done using parameters P221 and P222. This word uses a 13-bit resolution with signal to represent the motor rated frequency (P403): CFW320 | 14...

0 = Inactive Serial interface without valid data traffic. 1 = Active Serial interface with valid data traffic. 2 = Watchdog Error The serial interface is active, but a serial communication error has been detected - A128 alarm/F228 fault. CFW320 | 19...
It allows accessing all the markers and data used in the ladder program of the CFW320 frequency inverter. 5.1 AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS In the Modbus specification are defined the functions used to access different types of data. In the CFW320, in order to access those data the following services (or functions) have been made available: Table 5.1: Supported Modbus Functions...
Besides the parameters, other types of data as bit markers, word or float, can also be accessed using the Modbus protocol. Those markers are used mainly by the SoftPLC function, available for the CFW320. Refer to the SoftPLC documentation for the description of those markers, as well as for the addresses via Modbus.
STARTUP GUIDE 6 STARTUP GUIDE The main steps to start up the CFW320 frequency inverter in Modbus TCP network are described below. These steps represent an example of use. Check out the specific chapters for details on the indicated steps.
(P049) and disabling the motor. They can only be reset with a reset command or de- energizing the frequency inverter. Alarms operate by indicating their occurrence on the HMI and in the present alarm parameter (P048). They are automatically reset when the alarm condition ceases existing. CFW320 | 23...
