MODBUS Message Area
This area is used to transfer MODBUS messages to the inverter. The Profibus-DP master places the
MODBUS command in the output area. The response generated by the inverter is placed in the input area.
The messages can contain 1 - 4 words of data. Since this procedure may take several Profibus
communication cycles, a handshaking protocol is required. The protocol indicates when new commands
and responses are available in the input and output area. Please refer to Yaskawa technical document
PI#95029 entitled “MODBUS Communication for the VS-616G5 inverter” for details and parameter
register addresses.
MODBUS command message structure
The MODBUS command message is built up as shown in Table 10.
