EXP-MBTCP-ADV
Modbus TCP/IP-RTU Converter
Cod. 1S5L89 - 08/2022 - ENG
1. Introduction
This manual describes the EXP-MBTCP-ADV optional board
(code S5L89), a serial/MODBUS TCP/IP interface converter.
The EXP-MBTCP-ADV board connects to the RS485 port of the
AD200 family of drives and has an RJ45 port for connection via
Modbus TCP/IP protocol — used for Drive-PC communication
(with GF_eXpress configuration software) — or via HTTPS pro -
tocol — for Drive-PC/network communication (with GF_Drivelabs
web application).
This manual is written for technicians and designers responsible
for the maintenance and initial start-up.
1.1. Applicability
The card is designed to be easily installed inside the ADV200
family of drives: ADV200, ADV200-WA, ADV200-LC, FFE200 and
AFE200.
1.2. FW compatibility
The EXP-MBTCP-ADV board can only be used with drives with a
firmware version:
Drive FW
ADV200 4.X.0 or higher
ADV200 WA 2.X.0 or higher
ADV200 LC 7.X.17 or higher
FFE200 1.X.0 or higher
AFE200 7.1XX or higher
1.3. Typical uses of the device
1. Device configuration with WEB-SERVER: via a WEB
page, the device enables configuration of the network and
MODBUS RTU communication;
2. Inverter data monitoring and configuration with GF-eXpress:
to read/write parameters and monitor FW and Application
parameters;
3. Communication with the drive makes the following possible:
• debugging via Softscope,
• creation of applications with MDPLC;
4. Multiple device accesses by several users:
• the device with MODBUS TCP/IP can be used by several
users — up to a maximum of 5 simultaneous connections,
• access to the WEB-SERVER configuration is permitted
for a single connection at a time. The user must log off to
enable a new connection.
