Overview:
This document provides an overview of the Modbus RTU memory mapping that is implemented in the Beijer Frequency Inverter
P2 drive, detailing which addresses are used to read and write data to / from Beijer Frequency Inverter P2 in a Modbus RTU
network. All data registers within the drive are Holding Registers, and can be accessed by means of the Modbus commands 03
Read Multiple Holding Registers and 06 Write Single Register only.
The Modbus Request PDU specifies the starting register address and the number of registers. In this case, with some Modbus
Master Systems, it may be necessary to subtract 1 from the register number (e.g. some systems treat holding register 1 as
address 0).
The Manufacturer adopts a policy of continuous improvement and whilst every effort has been made to provide accurate and up
to date information, the information contained in this document should be used for guidance purposes only and does not form
the part of any contract.
