An extensive list of registers has been made available, allowing the user to monitor or change every detail
of the drive’s status It is also possible to send commands to a specific register, mimicking the behavior of our
proprietary SCL command set. The capability allows a PLC to have unparalleled control over the drive’s behavior
at runtime.
The drive will respond to the following Modbus function codes:
3 Read Holding Registers
4 Read Input Registers

16 Write Multiple Registers
Monitoring
See the Register Map table for details on specific data that can be monitored and written in this manner.
Sending Commands
The Command Opcode register, 40125, is designated to receive encoded SCL commands via Modbus.
Many SCL commands have been made available in this manner, and will allow the user full control over the
motion capabilities of the drive.
SCL command encoding details can be found in the Modbus Register Table.
Please refer to the Host Command Reference for details of the functionality of these registers and
commands.
