Appendix 2 Use of MODBUS Communication
These series drivers can use the programmable logic controller (PLC) and other upper
devices to conduct the data exchange through MODBUS communication protocol.
Constitution of MODBUS Communication
The communication data bus consists a main controller (PLC) and 1~31 drivers.
The signal is transmitted from the main controller and the driver responds to it.
The main controller conducts the signal transmission with maximum 31 drivers.
All drivers should have their own address codes. The main controller transmits
signals according to the specified codes. The drivers will function after receiving
the commands from the main controller and feedback the response to the main
controller.

Description of the communication connecting terminal
MODBUS communication uses 485+ and 485- terminals. Besides, the control board of
the driver is equipped with terminal resistors: when multiple drivers in this series are
connected using RS485 bus communication, from the perspective of PLC, the drivers
regarded as the terminal should keep its SW3 at ON position. .
Notice for Wring
(1) The communication cables should be separated from the main circuit cables, other
power cables and electric cables.
