This manual describes how to use the Modbus communication function of the >pDRIVE< series products.
This manual provides safety guidelines, capacitor discharge procedures and commissioning requirements for the pDRIVE frequency inverter series. It stresses that only qualified personnel should perform work on the device and that capacitors must be fully discharged before any intervention.
The document details the Modbus RTU implementation, RJ45 connection, network topology, address configuration and diagnostic functions. It also lists parameterization options, process data areas and troubleshooting trip messages for the various inverter models.
| Supported Modbus protocol | Modbus RTU |
|---|---|
| External buffer voltage | 24 V |
| Maximum total subscribers | 247 |
| Maximum subscribers per segment | 32 |
| Bus cable type | Screened 2‑wire twisted pair (Cat 5) |
Disconnect the device from the mains and wait at least 15 minutes until the capacitors are fully discharged.
A maximum of 32 subscribers, including repeaters, can be connected to one segment.
The devices support the Modbus RTU protocol.
An external 24 V buffer voltage is required.
