MODBUS communications can perform the following operations regardless of the settings in b1-01 and b1-02.
• Monitoring operation status from the PLC
• Setting and reading parameters
• Resetting errors
• Inputting multi-function commands
An OR operation is performed between the multi-function commands input from the PLC and commands
input from multi-function contact input terminals S3 to S7.
„ Message Format
In MODBUS communications, the master sends commands to the slave, and the slave responds. The message
format is configured for both sending and receiving as shown below, and the length of data packets is changed
by the command (function) contents.
The space between messages must support the following.
Fig 6.56 Message Spacing
Slave Address
Set the Drive address from 0 to 32. If you set 0, commands from the master will be broadcast (i.e., the Drive
will not return responses).
Function Code
The function code specifies commands. There are three function codes, as shown below.
Data
Configure consecutive data by combining the storage register address (test code for a loopback address) and
the data the register contains. The data length changes depending on the command details.
