Programming ATV320 drives for Modbus control.

Product Line:
Altivar 320

Environment:
All

Cause:
N/A

Resolution:
CONF, FULL, CON- ND1- menu tree.
Parameter Add sets the Modbus address

Parameter tbr sets the transmission speed as described below;
4.8 = 4800 bps
9.6 = 9600 bps
19.2 = 19200 bps
38.4 = 38400

Parameter tFO sets the data format as described below;
8O1 = 8 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit
8E1 = 8 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
8n1 = 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

Please note that these settings are not stored until the ATV320 power supply is switched off and on again.

CHCF (profile) can be set to separate, not separate or I/O mode depending on setup of PLC.
