Serial communication 57
10. Serial communication
The VSD provides possibility for different types of serial
communication.
• Modbus RTU via RS232/485
• Fieldbuses as Profibus DP and DeviceNet
• Industrial Ethernet type Modbus/TCP
10.1 Modbus RTU
The VSD has an asynchronous serial communication
interface behind the control panel. The protocol used
for data exchange is based in the Modbus RTU protocol,
originally developed by Modicon. the physical connec-
tion is RS232. The VSD acts as a slave with address 1
in a master-slave configuration. The communication is
half-duplex. It has a standard no return zero (NRZ) for-
mat.
The baud rate is fixed to 9600.
The character frame format (always 11 bits) has:
• one start bit
• eight data bits
• two stop bits
• no parity
It is possible to temporarily connect a personal compu-
ter with for example the software EmoSoftCom (pro-
gramming and monitoring software) to the RS232
connector on the control panel. This can be useful
when copying parameters between variable speed
drives etc. For permanent connection of a personal
computer you have to use one of the communication
option boards.

10.2 Parameter sets
Communication information for the different parameter
sets.
The different parameter sets in the VSD have the follow-
ing DeviceNet instance numbers and Profibus slot/
index numbers:
Parameter set A contains parameters 43001 to 43556.
The parameter sets B, C and D contains the same type
of information. For example parameter 43123 in
parameter set A contain the same type of information
as 44123 in parameter set B.
A DeviceNet instance number can easily be converted
into a Profibus slot/index number according to descrip-
tion in section section 11.8.2, page 149.
NOTE: This RS232 port is not isolated.
Correct and safe use of a RS232 connection
depends on the ground pins of both ports
being the same potential. Problems can
occur when connecting two ports of e.g.
machinery and computers where both ground pins are
not the same potential. This may cause hazardous
ground loops that can destroy the RS232 ports.
The control panel RS232 connection is not galvanic
isolated.
The optional RS232/485 card from TECO is galvanic
isolated.
Note that the control panel RS232 connection can
safely be used in combination with commercial available
isolated USB to RS232 converters.
