1.1.1 Safety Precautions - Continued 1.1 Safety Precautions

1 1

WARNING
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of the motor, frequency converter or fieldbus may cause death, serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. Consequently, the instructions in this manual, as well as national and local rules and safety regulations, must be complied with. Safety Regulations 1. The mains supply to the frequency converter must be disconnected whenever repair work is to be carried out. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before removing motor and mains supply plugs. 2. The [Off] button on the control panel of the frequency converter does not disconnect the mains supply and consequently it must not be used as a safety switch. The equipment must be properly earthed, the user must be protected against supply voltage and the motor must be protected against overload in accordance with applicable national and local regulations. The earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA. Protection against motor overload is not included in the factory setting. If this function is desired, set 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to data value ETR trip 1 [4] or data value ETR warning 1 [3]. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and mains supply while the frequency converter is connected to mains. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before removing motor and mains plugs. Note that the frequency converter has more voltage sources than L1, L2 and L3, when load sharing (linking of DC intermediate circuit) or external 24 V DC are installed. Check that all voltage sources have been disconnected and that the necessary time has elapsed before commencing repair work.

Warning against unintended start 1. The motor can be brought to a stop with digital commands, bus commands, references or a local stop, while the frequency converter is connected to mains. If personal safety considerations (e.g. risk of personal injury caused by contact with moving machine parts following an unintentional start) make it necessary to ensure that no unintended start occurs, these stop functions are not sufficient. In such cases the mains supply must be disconnected or the Safe Stop function must be activated. 2. The motor may start while setting the parameters. If this means that personal safety may be compromised (e.g. personal injury caused by contact with moving machine parts), motor starting must be prevented, for instance by use of the Safe Stop function or secure disconnection of the motor connection. A motor that has been stopped with the mains supply connected, may start if faults occur in the electronics of the frequency converter, through temporary overload or if a fault in the power supply grid or motor connection is remedied. If unintended start must be prevented for personal safety reasons (e.g. risk of injury caused by contact with moving machine parts), the normal stop functions of the frequency converter are not sufficient. In such cases the mains supply must be disconnected or the Safe Stop function must be activated.

4. 5.

NOTE
When using the Safe Stop function, always follow the instructions in the section Safe Stop of the Design Guide. 4. Control signals from, or internally within, the frequency converter may in rare cases be activated in error, be delayed or fail to occur entirely. When used in situations where safety is critical, e.g. when controlling the electromagnetic brake function of a hoist application, these control signals must not be relied on exclusively.

WARNING
High Voltage
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains. Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as external 24 V DC, load sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for kinetic back up. Systems where frequency converters are installed must, if necessary, be equipped with additional monitoring and protective devices according to the valid safety regulations, e.g law on mechanical tools, regulations for the prevention of accidents etc. Modifications on the frequency converters by means of the operating software are allowed.

1.2.1 Caution

CAUTION
The DC link capacitors remain charged after power has been disconnected. Be aware that there may be high voltage on the DC link even when the Control Card LEDs are turned off. A red LED is mounted on a circuit board inside the frequency converter to indicate the DC bus voltage. The red LED will stay lit until the DC link is 50 V DC or lower. To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect the frequency converter from mains before carrying out maintenance. When using a PM-motor, make sure it is disconnected. Before doing service on the frequency converter wait at least the amount of time indicated below:
Voltage [V] Power [kW] 380-500 0.25-7.5 11-75 90-200 250-800 525-690 11-75 (frame size B and C) 37-315 (frame size D) 355-1000 Waiting Time [min] 4 15 20 40 15 20 30

NOTE
Hazardous situations shall be identified by the machine builder/integrator who is responsible for taking necessary preventive means into consideration. Additional monitoring and protective devices may be included, always according to valid national safety regulations, e.g. law on mechanical tools, regulations for the prevention of accidents.

NOTE
Crane, Lifts and Hoists: The controlling of external brakes must always have a redundant system. The frequency converter can in no circumstances be the primary safety circuit. Comply with relevant standards, e.g. Hoists and cranes: IEC 60204-32 Lifts: EN 81 Protection Mode Once a hardware limit on motor current or DC link voltage is exceeded the frequency converter will enter Protection mode. Protection mode means a change of the PWM modulation strategy and a low switching frequency to minimize losses. This continues 10 s after the last fault and increases the reliability and the robustness of the frequency converter while re-establishing full control of the motor. In hoist applications Protection mode is not usable because the frequency converter will usually not be able to leave this mode again and therefore it will extend the time before activating the brake which is not recommendable. The Protection mode can be disabled by setting 14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault to zero which means that the frequency converter will trip immediately if one of the hardware limits is exceeded.

1.2.2 Protection Mode

Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of together with domestic waste. It must be separately collected with electrical and electronic waste according to local and currently valid legislation.

1.3.1 Software Version

Design Guide Software version: 6.4x

This Design Guide can be used for all frequency converters with software version 6.4x. The software version number can be seen from 15-43 Software Version.

NOTE
It is recommended to disable protection mode in hoisting applications (14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault = 0)

Modbus RTU Operating Instruction

1.4 CE Labelling 1.4.1 CE Conformity and Labelling

The machinery directive (2006/42/EC) Frequency converters do not fall under the machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is supplied for use in a machine, Danfoss provide information on safety aspects relating to the frequency converter. What is CE Conformity and Labelling? The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced the CE label as a simple way of showing whether a product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the specifications or quality of the product. Frequency converters are regulated by two EU directives: The low-voltage directive (2006/95/EC) Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances used in the 50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon request. The EMC directive (2004/108/EC) EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the mutual interference between different components/ appliances does not affect the way the appliances work. The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carry out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in this Design Guide. In addition, Danfoss specify which standards our products comply with. Danfoss offer the filters presented in the specifications and provide other types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result. The frequency converter is most often used by professionals of the trade as a complex component forming part of a larger appliance, system or installation. The EMC directive (2004/108/EC) 2.

use with a hobby machine, a kitchen appliance, etc. For such applications, the frequency converter must be CE labelled in accordance with the EMC directive. The frequency converter is sold for installation in a plant. The plant is built up by professionals of the trade. It could be a production plant or a heating/ventilation plant designed and installed by professionals of the trade. Neither the frequency converter nor the finished plant has to be CE labelled under the EMC directive. However, the unit must comply with the basic EMC requirements of the directive. This is ensured by using components, appliances, and systems that are CE labelled under the EMC directive. The frequency converter is sold as part of a complete system. The system is being marketed as complete and could e.g. be an air-conditioning system. The complete system must be CE labelled in accordance with the EMC directive. The manufacturer can ensure CE labelling under the EMC directive either by using CE labelled components or by testing the EMC of the system. If only CE labelled components are used, it is unneccessary to test the entire system.

1.4.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter and CE Labelling

CE labelling is a positive feature when used for its original purpose, i.e. to facilitate trade within the EU and EFTA. However, CE labelling may cover many different specifications. Check what a given CE label specifically covers. The covered specifications can be very different and a CE label may therefore give the installer a false feeling of security when using a frequency converter as a component in a system or an appliance. Danfoss CE labels the frequency converters in accordance with the low-voltage directive. This means that if the frequency converter is installed correctly, we guarantee compliance with the low-voltage directive. Danfoss issues a declaration of conformity that confirms our CE labelling in accordance with the low-voltage directive. The CE label also applies to the EMC directive provided that the instructions for EMC-correct installation and filtering are followed. On this basis, a declaration of conformity in accordance with the EMC directive is issued. The Design Guide offers detailed instructions for installation to ensure EMC-correct installation. Furthermore,

1.4.2 What Is Covered

The EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive 2004/108/EC" outline three typical situations of using a frequency converter. See below for EMC coverage and CE labelling. 1. The frequency converter is sold directly to the end-consumer. The frequency converter is for example sold to a DIY market. The end-consumer is a layman. Installing the frequency converter for

IP54/55. As an extra protection, coated printed circuit boards can be ordered as an option. Airborne Particles such as dust may cause mechanical, electrical, or thermal failure in the frequency converter. A typical indicator of excessive levels of airborne particles is dust particles around the frequency converter fan. In very dusty environments, use equipment with enclosure rating IP54/55 or a cabinet for IP00/IP20/TYPE 1 equipment. In environments with high temperatures and humidity, corrosive gases such as sulphur, nitrogen, and chlorine compounds cause chemical processes on the frequency converter components. Such chemical reactions rapidly affect and damage the electronic components. In such environments, mount the equipment in a cabinet with fresh air ventilation, keeping aggressive gases away from the frequency converter. An extra protection in such areas is a coating of the printed circuit boards, which can be ordered as an option.

1.4.4 Compliance with EMC Directive 2004/108/ECEMC Directive 2004/108/EC

As mentioned, the frequency converter is mostly used by professionals of the trade as a complex component forming part of a larger appliance, system, or installation. Note that the responsibility for the final EMC properties of the appliance, system or installation rests with the installer. As an aid to the installer, Danfoss has prepared EMC installation guidelines for the Power Drive system. The standards and test levels stated for Power Drive systems are complied with, provided that the EMC-correct instructions for installation are followed, see the section EMC Immunity in the Design Guide.

1.5.1 Air Humidity

The frequency converter has been designed to meet the IEC/EN 60068-2-3 standard, EN 50178 pkt. 9.4.2.2 at 50 C.

NOTE
Mounting frequency converters in aggressive environments increases the risk of stoppages and considerably reduces the life of the converter. Before installing the frequency converter, check the ambient air for liquids, particles, and gases. This is done by observing existing installations in this environment. Typical indicators of harmful airborne liquids are water or oil on metal parts, or corrosion of metal parts. Excessive dust particle levels are often found on installation cabinets and existing electrical installations. One indicator of aggressive airborne gases is blackening of copper rails and cable ends on existing installations. D and E enclosures have a stainless steel back-channel option to provide additional protection in aggressive environments. Proper ventilation is still required for the internal components of the frequency converter. Contact Danfoss for additional information.

1.5.2 Aggressive Environments

A frequency converter contains a large number of mechanical and electronic components. All are to some extent vulnerable to environmental effects.

CAUTION
The frequency converter should not be installed in environments with airborne liquids, particles, or gases capable of affecting and damaging the electronic components. Failure to take the necessary protective measures increases the risk of stoppages, thus reducing the life of the frequency converter. Degree of protection as per IEC 60529 The Safe Stop function may only be installed and operated in a control cabinet with degree of protection IP54 or higher (or equivalent environment). This is required to avoid cross faults and short circuits between terminals, connectors, tracks and safety-related circuitry caused by foreign objects. Liquids can be carried through the air and condense in the frequency converter and may cause corrosion of components and metal parts. Steam, oil, and salt water may cause corrosion of components and metal parts. In such environments, use equipment with enclosure rating

1.5.3 Vibration and Shock

The frequency converter has been tested according to the procedure based on the shown standards: The frequency converter complies with requirements that exist for units mounted on the walls and floors of production premises, as well as in panels bolted to walls or floors.

2.1 Introduction
This manual explains how to physically establish and configure communication between the Danfoss FC Series and a controller using the Modbus RTU protocol. This instruction is intended to be used for both instruction and reference. It only briefly touches on the basics of the Modbus protocol whenever necessary to gain an understanding of the Modbus RTU. This instruction is also intended to serve as a guideline to specify and optimise the communication system. Even experienced Modbus programmers, should read these entire operating instructions before starting programming since important information can be found in all sections.

2.1.1 Modbus RTU Overview

Regardless of the type of physical communication networks, the Modbus RTU Overview describes the process a controller uses to request access to another device. This process includes how the Modbus RTU responds to requests from another device, and how errors are detected and reported. It also establishes a common format for the layout and contents of message fields. During communications over a Modbus RTU network, the protocol determines: How each controller learns its device address Recognizes a message addressed to it Determines which actions to take Extracts any data or other information contained in the message If a reply is required, the controller constructs the reply message and sends it. Controllers communicate using a master-slave technique in which only one device (the master) can initiate transactions (called queries). The other devices (slaves) respond by supplying the requested data to the master, or by taking the action requested in the query. The master can address individual slaves, or can initiate a broadcast message to all slaves. Slaves return a message (called a response) to queries that are addressed to them individually. No responses are returned to broadcast queries from the master. The Modbus RTU protocol establishes the format for the masters query by placing into it the device (or broadcast) address, a function code defining the requested action, any data to be sent, and an error-checking field. The slaves response message is also constructed using Modbus protocol. It contains fields

Modbus RTU Operating Instruction

3 RS-485 Installation and Set-up

3.1.1 Overview
The Modbus RTU protocol is based on the built-in RS-485 (EIA-485) interface on the FC Drive series control card. RS-485 is a two-wire bus-interface that allows multi-drop network topology i.e. nodes can be connected as a bus (daisy chain), or via drop cables from a common trunk line. Danfoss uses the two-wire system where the communication between master and slave is half-duplex, i.e. it cannot transmit and receive at the same time. Each signal uses one twisted-pair line two wires twisted around themselves. This is known as balanced data transmission or differential voltage transmission (see Illustration 3.1). The signal on one wire is ideally the exact opposite of the signal on the second wire. In other words, if one wire is transmitting a high, the other wire transmits a low, and vice versa (see Illustration 3.2). Since RS-485 is a multipoint communication system, all devices are connected to the single twisted-pair cable.

3.1.2 Cable Specifications

When choosing a transmission line for RS-485, it is necessary to examine the required distance of the cable and the data rate of the system. Losses in a transmission line are a combination of AC losses (skin effect), DC conductor loss, leakage, and AC losses in the dielectric. In high-quality cable, the conductor losses and the dielectric losses are on the same order of magnitude. The recommended maximum Modbus cable length between the frequency converter and the Controller must not exceed 30 m (100 feet). While the RS-485 specification does not specify cabling, the recommendation is 0.25 mm2/24 AWG shielded twisted-pair cable with a shunt capacitance of 16 pF/ft and 100 impedance. Another choice is the same cable commonly used in the twistedpair Ethernet cabling. This cable is commonly referred to as Category 5 cable. The cable has a maximum capacitance of 17 pF/ft (14.5 pF/ft typical) and characteristic impedance of 100 .

3.1.3 Network Connection

One or more frequency converters can be connected to a control (or master) using the RS-485 standardized interface. Terminal 68 is connected to the P signal (TX+, RX+), while terminal 69 is connected to the N signal (TX-,RX-). If more than one frequency converter is connected to a master, use parallel connections.

Illustration 3.1 Balanced Data Transmission

Wire #1 Wire #2

Illustration 3.2 Differential Concept

The Modbus RTU uses master/slave architecture, where each slave device has its unique address and responds only to packets addressed to this device. The packets are generated by the master (Controller), which periodically polls all connected slave devices. Data travels over the single line in both directions. According to the EIA-485 specification a total number of 32 nodes can be connected to one Modbus RTU network segment, and a total of 247 nodes in a network are supported. Network segments are divided with repeaters.

NOTE
Each repeater counts for a node in each segment it is installed. Every node connected to the same network must have a unique nodes address, across all segments.

3.1.5 EMC Precautions

The following EMC precautions are recommended to achieve interference-free operation of the RS-485 network. Relevant national and local regulations, for example regarding protective earth connection, must be observed. The RS-485 communication cable must be kept away from motor and brake resistor cables to avoid coupling of high frequency noise from one cable to another. Normally a distance of 200 mm (8 inches) is sufficient, but keeping the greatest possible distance between the cables is generally recommended, especially where cables run in parallel over long distances. When crossing is unavoidable, the RS-485 cable must cross motor and brake resistor cables at an angle of 90o.

4.1.2 Timing Constraints

The Modbus Standard specifies two timing constraints. Table 4.1 illustrates the inter-character timing which determines that a message has been received.

NOTE
if the baud rate is greater than 19200, then the 3.5 character time is replaced by a timeout time of 1.75 ms.

NOTE
It is very important that the controller wait at least 3.5 character length otherwise the nodes can not separate the telegrams.

Modbus RTU Message Framing ...

Modbus RTU Operating Instruction

4.1.3 Modbus RTU Message Structure

The transmitting device places a Modbus RTU message into a frame with a known beginning and ending point. This allows receiving devices to begin at the start of the message, read the address portion, determine which device is addressed (or all devices, if the message is broadcast), and to recognise when the message is completed. Partial messages are detected and errors set as a result. Characters for transmission must be in hexadecimal 00 to FF format in each field. The frequency converter continuously monitors the network bus, also during silent intervals. When the first field (the address field) is received, each frequency converter or device decodes it to determine which device is being addressed. Modbus RTU messages addressed to zero are broadcast messages. No response is permitted for broadcast messages. A typical message frame is shown in Table 4.2.
Start T1-T2-T3T4 Address 8 bits Function 8 bits Data Nx8 bits CRC check 16 bits End T1-T2-T3T4

address in this address field to let the master know which slave is responding.

4.1.6 Function Field

The function field of a message frame contains 8 bits. Valid codes are in the range of 1-FF. Function fields are used to send messages between master and slave. When a message is sent from a master to a slave device, the function code field tells the slave what kind of action to perform. When the slave responds to the master, it uses the function code field to indicate either a normal (errorfree) response, or that some kind of error occurred (called an exception response). For a normal response, the slave simply echoes the original function code. For an exception response, the slave returns a code that is equivalent to the original function code with its most significant bit set to logic 1. In addition, the slave places a unique code into the data field of the response message. This tells the master what kind of error occurred, or the reason for the exception. Also refer to the sections 4.1.10 Function Codes Supported by Modbus RTU and 9.1.1 Modbus Exception Codes.

4 4

Table 4.2 Typical Modbus RTU Message Structure

4.1.7 Data Field

The data field is constructed using sets of two hexadecimal digits, in the range of 00 to FF hexadecimal. These are made up of one RTU character. The data field of messages sent from a master to slave device contains additional information which the slave must use to take the action defined by the function code. This can include items such as coil or register addresses, the quantity of items to be handled, and the count of actual data bytes in the field.

4.1.4 Start/Stop Field

Messages start with a silent period of at least 3.5 character intervals. This is implemented as a multiple of character intervals at the selected network baud rate (shown as Start T1-T2-T3-T4). The first field to be transmitted is the device address. Following the last transmitted character, a similar period of at least 3.5 character intervals marks the end of the message. A new message can begin after this period. The entire message frame must be transmitted as a continuous stream. If a silent period of more than 1.5 character intervals occurs before completion of the frame, the receiving device flushes the incomplete message and assumes that the next byte will be the address field of a new message. Similarly, if a new message begins before 3.5 character intervals after a previous message, the receiving device considers it a continuation of the previous message. This causes a time-out (no response from the slave), since the value in the final CRC field is not valid for the combined messages.

4.1.8 CRC Check Field

Messages include an error-checking field, operating on the basis of a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) method. The CRC field checks the contents of the entire message. It is applied regardless of any parity check method used for the individual characters of the message. The CRC value is calculated by the transmitting device, which appends the CRC as the last field in the message. The receiving device recalculates a CRC during receipt of the message and compares the calculated value to the actual value received in the CRC field. If the two values are unequal, a bus timeout occurs. The error-checking field contains a 16-bit binary value implemented as two 8-bit bytes. When this is done, the low-order byte of the field is appended first, followed by the high-order byte. The CRC high-order byte is the last byte sent in the message.

4.1.5 Address Field

The address field of a message frame contains 8 bits. Valid slave device addresses are in the range of 0 247 decimal. The individual slave devices are assigned addresses in the range of 1 247. (0 is reserved for broadcast mode, which all slaves recognize.) A master addresses a slave by placing the slave address in the address field of the message. When the slave sends its response, it places its own

4.1.9 Coil and Register Addressing

In Modbus, all data are organized in coils and holding registers. Coils hold a single bit, whereas holding registers hold a 2-byte word (i.e. 16 bits). All data addresses in Modbus messages are referenced to zero. The first occurrence of a data item is addressed as item number zero. For example: The coil known as coil 1 in a programmable controller is addressed as coil 0000 in the data address field of a Modbus message. Coil 127 decimal is addressed as coil 007EHEX (126 decimal). Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the data address field of the message. The function code field already specifies a holding register operation. Therefore, the 4XXXX reference is implicit. Holding register 40108 is addressed as register 006BHEX (107 decimal). See 4.1.11 Coil Addresses for details regarding Coil Addresses and 4.1.12 Register Addresses for details regarding Register Addresses

4.1.13 Parameter Handling

Each parameter number is translated to a register address. The parameter number is translated to Modbus holding address as parameter number x 10 DECIMAL. Notice that holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the data address field of the message. The function code field already specifies a holding register operation. Therefore, the 4XXXX reference is implicit. Example: 3-41 Ramp 1 up time is address as holding register 3410. In the message field of the telegram it will be addressed as register 2809 (D51 Hex).

4.1.15 IND
The array index is set in holding register 9 and used when accessing array parameters. Some parameters like 8-43 PCD read configuration have structures of an index and the Modbus protocol does not support index parameters in the telegram frame. To read or write to those parameters requires that register 009 Parameter index contains the index number, before a read or write is done. Example: Setup 8-43 PCD Read Configuration index 2 to the value [1613] Frequency. 1. 2. 3. Write [2] to register 009 Parameter index Write [1613] to holding register 8430 Write [0] to register 009 Parameter index to set it back to default 0

4.1.14 Storage of Data

The Coil 65 decimal determines whether data written to the frequency converter are stored in EEPROM and RAM (coil 65=1) or only in RAM (coil 65=0).

Notice after a power cycle register 009 Parameter index is set it back to default 0.

NOTE
Coil 65 needs to be set On before changed parameters are stored in EEPROM and after a Power cycle coil 65 is set back to default Off, meaning only in RAM.

4.1.16 Text Blocks

Parameters stored as text strings are accessed in the same way as the other parameters. The maximum text block size is 20 characters. If a read request for a parameter is for more characters than the parameter stores, the response is truncated. If the read request for a parameter is for fewer

characters than the parameter stores, the response is space filled.

UNSIGNED32 and SIGNED32 An unsigned and signed integer of 4 bytes fills two registers with the following byte mapping.
Register 1 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 Register 2 Byte 0

NOTE
Text blocks are only used together with Function code 11 hex Report slave ID.

4.1.17 Conversion Factor

Since a parameter value can only be transferred as a whole number, a conversion factor must be used to transfer decimals. The conversion index for each parameter can be found in the Programming guide. Example: 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] has a conversion factor of 0.1. To set the Motor Speed Low Limit frequency to 10 Hz, transfer the value 100. A conversion factor of 0.1 means that the value transferred is multiplied by 0.1. The value 100 is thus perceived as 10.0.
Conversion index 100 75 74 67 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 Table 4.6 Conversion Table 1000000 100000 10000 1000 100 10 1 0.1 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 0.000001 0.0000001 Conversion factor

Example: Register Address: 40201Value 0x0102 Register Address: 40202Value 0x0304 A read of an UNSIGNED32/SIGNED32 from Modbus register 40201 with the quantity of 2, is: 0x01020304. UNSIGNED16 and SIGNED16 An unsigned and signed integer of 2 bytes fills one register with the following byte mapping.
Register 1 Byte 1 Byte 0

Example: Register Address: 40201Value 0x0102 A read of an UNSIGNED16 from register 40201 with the quantity of 1, is: 0x0102. UNSIGNED8 and SIGNED8 An unsigned and signed integer of 1 byte fills one register with the following byte mapping.
Register 1 0x00 Byte 0

The data type for each parameter can be found in the Programming guide.

4.1.18 Parameter Values

One Modbus holding register is specified as a 16 bit register, i.e. the data range goes from 065535. Some parameters in the frequency converterhave data types of 32 bit, so to be able the read or write to these parameters two registers need to be accessed to have the correct data value read or written. In order to read and write the different supported data types, the following conversions must be used.

5 How to Control the Frequency Converter

5.1 How to Control the Frequency Converter
Modbus RTU provides access to control the frequency converter via the Control Word like start/stop and to control the speed of the frequency converter via a bus reference. In the same way it also provides information of

NOTE
Danfoss recommends only using one of the three mentioned ways to control the frequency converter!

NOTE
8-32 FC Port Baud Rate and 8-33 Parity / Stop Bits should match the setting on the controller and other slaves on the network. Other important parameters to setup are how the control of the frequency converter should be established and what should happen with the motor control in case of bus time out. See also 8 Parameters.

NOTE
Danfoss recommends register 2810-2873 and 2910-2973 to control the frequency converter ensuring compatibility with all controllers.

5.2 Parameter for Modbus RTU 5.2.1 Important Parameters for Modbus RTU
Set the following parameters to enable the Modbus RTU for the frequency converter.

5.2.2 Access via PCD write/read

The advantage of using the PCD write/read configuration is that the controller can write or read more data in one telegram. Up to 63 registers can be read or written to via the Function code Read Holding register or Write Multiple Registers in one telegram. The structure is also flexible so that only two registers can be written to and 10 registers can be read from the controller. The PCD write list is data send from the controller to the frequency converter like Control word, Reference and application dependent data like Minimum reference and Ramp times.

8-02 Control Word Source

Select the source of the control word: one of two serial interfaces or four installed options. During initial power-up, the frequency converter automatically sets this parameter to [3] Option A if it detects a valid Fieldbus option installed in slot A. If the option is removed, the frequency converter detects a change in the configuration, sets 8-02 Control Word Source back to default setting RS-485, and the frequency converter trips. If an option is installed after initial power-up, the setting of 8-02 Control Word Source does not change, but the frequency converter trips and displays: Alarm 67 Option Changed. When retrofitting a bus option into a frequency converter, that did not have a bus option installed to begin with, take an ACTIVE decision to move the control to Bus based. This is done for safety reasons in order to avoid an accidental change.

Parameter group 8-8* FC Port Diagnostics provides information on the Modbus RTU communication. The diagnostics information is both for the network i.e. how many valid or corrupted telegrams have been on the RS-485 network and for each slave i.e. how many telegrams have been send to this slave. Modbus Exception Codes
4 Slave device failure An unrecoverable error occurred while the server (or slave) was attempting to perform the requested action.

9.1.2 8-80 Bus Message count

If a valid Modbus RTU telegram is sentd on the RS-485 network, the 8-80 Bus Message count counts one up for the controller request and if the slave responses, then count up again. If the controller is connected and sending valid Modbus telegrams and 8-80 Bus Message Count is not counting, check the following:

NOTE
The diagnostics counter in Parameter group 8-8* will be reset to 0 after a power cycle. Additionally it is possible to reset the counters to 0 via the Modbus Function code 8, sub-function code 1 Restart communication or 10 Clear counters and diagnostic register.

9.1.1 Modbus Exception Codes

For a full explanation of the structure of an exception code response, please refer to 4 Modbus RTU Message Framing Structure, Function Field. Modbus Exception Codes
Co Name de 1 Illegal function Meaning The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the server (or slave). This may be because the function code is only applicable to newer devices, and was not implemented in the unit selected. It could also indicate that the server (or slave) is in the wrong state to process a request of this type, for example because it is not configured and is being asked to return register values. The data address received in the query is not an allowable address for the server (or slave). More specifically, the combination of reference number and transfer length is invalid. For a controller with 100 registers, a request with offset 96 and length 4 would succeed, a request with offset 96 and length 5 will generate exception 02. A value contained in the query data field is not an allowable value for server (or slave). This indicates a fault in the structure of the remainder of a complex request, such as that the implied length is incorrect. It specifically does NOT mean that a data item submitted for storage in a register has a value outside the expectation of the application program, since the Modbus protocol is unaware of the significance of any particular value of any particular register.

Check that the cable is mounted correct. See guidelines in 3.1.3 Network Connection Check that the bus cable is terminated correct. See guidelines in 3.1.4 Bus Termination Check that 8-30 Protocol is set to [2] Modbus RTU Check that 8-32 FC Port Baud Rate is set to the same baud rate as the controller Check that 8-33 Parity/Stop Bits is set to the same parity control as the controller

9.1.3 8-81 Bus Error Count

8-81 Bus Error Count counts up if a Modbus telegram has a CRC error. If 8-81 Bus Error Count periodical is counting up, it might be EMC noise that disturbs the communication between the controller and the slave. Check the following:

Check that the bus cable is terminated correct. See guidelines in 3.1.4 Bus Termination Check that screened bus cable is used and that it is connected to earth Check that screened motor cable is used and that it is connected to earth Stop all running motors. If the 8-81 Bus Error Count also stops to count then EMC noise is generated from the motors to the bus cable and are disturbing the communication. Follow the EMC guideline in the Operating Instructions.

9.1.4 8-82 Slave Messages Rcvd

8-82 Slave Messages Rcvd shows the number of telegrams address to this slave. If 8-82 Slave Messages Rcvd does not count up then check the following:

Modbus RTU Operating Instruction

Check if the controller is sending a valid Modbus telegram to the address set in 8-31 Address Check that the slave address number is not duplicated on the network

9.1.5 8-83 Slave Error

8-83 Slave Error Count count shows the number of telegrams that the slave received, but replies with an error. If 8-83 Slave Error Count count is counting up, check the following:

Check that the function code is supported. See details in 4.1.10 Function Codes Supported by Modbus RTU. Check if the coils or holding register in within the specify area. See 4.1.11 Coil Addresses and 4.1.12 Register Addresses.
