Serial Communication
Parameters 500 through 536
This parameter group sets up the drive for serial communication.
There is a choice of three protocols: FC (VLT protocol), Johnson
Controls Metasys N2 and Siemens FLN. In order to use serial
communication to control the drive, address and baud rate must always
be set. In addition to controlling the drive, operational data from the
drive including reference, feedback, motor temperature and others can
be read through serial communication.

Value:
★
FC protocol (FC PROTOCOL)
[0]
Metasys N2 (METASYS N2)
[1]
Landis & Staefa FLN (FLN)
[2]
Function:
There is a choice of three different protocols.
Description of choice:
Select the required control word protocol.

0 through 98
1
Function:
In this parameter it is possible to allocate an address in a serial
communication network to each drive.
Description of choice:
The individual drive must be given a unique address. If the number of
drives exceeds 31, a repeater must be used. Parameter 501, Address,
cannot be chosen via serial communication but is set via the keypad.
502
Baud Rate
(BAUDRATE)
Value:
300 Baud (300 BAUD)
[0]
600 Baud (600 BAUD)

2400 Baud (2400 BAUD)
[3]
4800 Baud (4800 BAUD)
[4]
★
9600 Baud (9600 BAUD)
[5]
Function:
In this parameter, the speed at which data is transmitted via serial
communication is programmed. Baud rate is defined as the number of
bits transmitted per second.
Description of choice:
The transmission speed of the drive must be set at a value that
corresponds to the transmission speed of the master. Parameter 502,
Baud Rate, cannot be selected through serial communication; it must be
set by the keypad. The data transmission time itself, which is determined
by the baud rate selected, is only part of the total communication time.
503
Coasting Stop
(COASTING)
Value:
Digital input (DIGITAL INPUT)
[0]
Serial communication (SERIAL PORT)
[1]
Logic and (LOGIC AND)
[2]
★
Logic or (LOGIC OR)
[3]
Function:
In parameters 503 through 508, a choice can be made to control the
drive via the digital inputs and/or by serial communication.
If Digital input is selected, the command can only be carried out
through digital input.
If Serial communication is selected, the command can only be carried
out through serial communication.
If Logic and is selected, the command must be by both serial communi-
cation and a digital input.
If Logic or is selected, the command can be made by either digital or
serial communication.
Description of choice:
The tables below show whether the motor is running or coasting when
Digital Input, Serial Communication, Logic and or Logic or has been
selected.
NOTE
Terminal 27 and bit 03 of control word are active
when logic 0 is selected.
✭
Indicates default parameter. Depending upon the application, the drive may be delivered with other parameters selected.
