Appendix A: Modbus Communication Protocol
1. Application Scope
1. Applicable series: FRECON FR series inverter.
2. Applicable network: Support Modbus protocol, RTU format, withsingle-master/multi-slave
Communication network of RS485 bus.
The typical RTU message frame format:
Start Bit
Device
Address
Function
Code
Data
CRC
Stop Bit
T1-T2-T3-T4
8Bit
8Bit
n*8Bit
16Bit
T1-T2-T3-T4
2. Physical Interface
RS485 is asynchronous half-duplex Communication mode. LSB has transmission priority.
Default data format of RS485 terminal: 1-8-N-1
，
bits rate: 9600bps.
Data format 1-8-N-1, 1-8-O-1, 1-8-E-1, optional bits rates 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps,
38400bps, 57600bps and 115200bps can be selected.
Shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended Communication cable to lower external
interference.
3. Protocol Format
The parity in ADU (Application Data Unit) is obtained via the CRC16 parity of the 1st three
Parts of ADU and switch the low bytes and high bytes. Low bytes of CRC parity go first, and high
bytes of it follow in the protocol format.
