ACS 400 User’s Manual 133
Communication settings
Communication settings define the communication speed, parity checking, number of stop bits and
fault functions. These settings for Channel 1 are defined using parameters in groups 50
COMMUNICATION and 52 STANDARD MODBUS.
The default communication settings for Channel 1 are listed in Table 13. To be able to communicate
with the master device, the ACS 400 must use the same communication speed and parity settings
as the master.
Further information on all the parameters and their alternative settings is given in “ACS 400
Complete Parameter List” on page 65.
