RS485 and RS232 Interfaces
In some sections – as an alternative to control via the operator panel – settings and display possibili-
ties are described with the help of the VPlus PC-Software. Here, VPlus communicates with the fre-
quency inverter via the X21-Connection or via an optional CM-232 or CM-485 Communication Module.
If the serial interface of an optional CM-232 or CM-485 Communication Module is connected to a PLC,
then simultaneous access to the frequency inverter from the VPlus PC-Software is no longer possible.
In this case the connection to the PC can be made via USB with the help of an optional interface
adapter on the X21-Connection.
Warning!
Via the Modbus-Communication, a control unit can access all of the frequency inverter
parameters.
The changing of parameters, whose meaning is not known to the user, can lead to the
malfunctioning of the frequency inverter and to dangerous situations in the plant.
Caution!
If values are to be written regularly with a high repetition rate, then no entry may be
made to the EEPROM, as it only has a limited number of admissible write cycles (approx.
1 million cycles). If the number of allowed write cycles is exceeded then the EEPROM will
be damaged. See Chapter 8 "Handling of Data Sets / Cyclic Writing".
RS485-Connection
Frequency inverters can be connected to a bus system using CM-485 Communication Modules. The
bus structure is linear and implemented as a 2-wire line. Up to 247 frequency inverters can be ad-
dressed and polled from a bus master via Modbus.
The frequency inverters can be parameterized and controlled via the bus system. During operation
data can be requested and set from a PC or PLC.
RS232-Connection
The RS232-Connection allows a point to point connection between the participants.

X21-Connection
The X21-Connection with the RJ45-Connector enables the connection to the RS485 interface of a PLC.
With an optional USB-Adapter the USB-Interface of a PC can be connected to the X21 Interface. This
enables parameterization and monitoring using the VPlus PC-Software.
