9 RS-485 Installation and Setup
9.1 Installation and Setup
9.1.1 Network Connection
One or more adjustable frequency drives 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 adjustable frequency drive is connected
to a master, use parallel connections.
Figure 9.1
In order to avoid potential equalizing currents in the
screen, ground the cable screen via terminal 61, which is
connected to the frame via an RC-link.
9.1.2 RS-485 Bus Termination
The RS-485 bus must be terminated by a resistor network
at both ends. For this purpose, set switch S801 on the
control card to "ON".
9.1.3 EMC Precautions
The following EMC precautions are recommended in order
to achieve interference-free operation of the RS-485
network.
Relevant national and local regulations, for example
regarding protective ground 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 90
°
.

9.2.2 Modbus RTU Message Framing
Structure
The controllers are set up to communicate on the Modbus
network using RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode, with
each byte in a message containing two 4-bit hexadecimal
characters. The format for each byte is shown in
Start
