Revision June 2010
8.3 MODBUS Communication Protocol
When using RS-232/485 serial communication interface, each ASDA-B2 series AC servo drive
has a pre-assigned communication address specified by parameter “P3-00”. The computer
then controls each AC servo drive according to its communication address. ASDA-B2 series AC
servo drive can be set up to communicate on a MODBUS networks using on of the following
modes: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) or RTU (Remote Terminal
Unit). Users can select the desired mode along with the serial port communication protocol in
parameter “P3-02”.

Code Description:
ASCII Mode:
Each 8-bit data is the combination of two ASCII characters. For example, a 1-byte data: 64 Hex,
shown as ‘64’ in ASCII, consists of ‘6’ (36Hex) and ‘4’ (34Hex).
The following table shows the available hexadecimal characters and their corresponding ASCII
codes.
Character ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘2’ ‘3’ ‘4’ ‘5’ ‘6’ ‘7’
ASCII code 30H 31H 32H 33H 34H 35H 36H 37H
Character ‘8’ ‘9’ ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘C’ ‘D’ ‘E’ ‘F’
ASCII code 38H 39H 41H 42H 43H 44H 45H 46H
RTU Mode:
Each 8-bit data is the combination of two 4-bit hexadecimal characters. For example, a 1-byte
data: 64 Hex.
