Modbus-Rtu Communication Specifications (Pr. 331, Pr. 332, Pr. 334, Pr. 343, Pr. 539, Pr. 549) - Mitsubishi Electric FR-A700 Instruction Manual

Communication operation and setting
4.24.6 Modbus-RTU communication specifications (Pr. 331, Pr. 332, Pr. 334, Pr. 343,
Pr. 539, Pr. 549)
Using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol, communication operation or parameter setting can be
performed from the RS-485 terminals of the inverter.

CAUTION
When Modbus-RTU communication is performed from the master with address 0 (station 0) set, broadcast communication is
selected and the inverter does not send a response message to the master.
When response from the inverter is necessary, set a value other than "0" in Pr. 331 (initial value 0).
Some functions are invalid for broadcast communication. (Refer to page 342)
REMARKS
⋅ When using the Modbus-RTU protocol, set Pr. 549 Protocol selection to "1".
⋅ When the communication option is fitted with Pr. 550 NET mode operation command source selection set to "9999" (initial value), the
command source (e.g. run command) from the RS-485 terminals is invalid. (Refer to page 317)

Description
Broadcast communication is selected.
Specify the inverter station number.
Set the inverter station numbers when two
or more inverters are connected to one
personal computer.
Set the communication speed.
The setting value × 100 equals the
communication speed.
For example, the communication speed is
9600bps when the setting value is "96".

Modbus-RTU communication can be
made, but the inverter will come to an
alarm stop in the NET operation mode.
Set the interval of communication check time.
