• There is a built-in RS-485 serial interface, marked (RJ-11Jack) on the control
block. The pins are defined below:
Each VLT MICRO drive has a pre-assigned communication address specified by
Pr.88. The computer then controls each AC drive according to its communication
address.
• The VLT MICRO can be setup to communicate on Modbus networks using one of the
following modes: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
RTU .
Users can select the desired mode along with the serial port communication
protocol in Pr.92
