RS485 (DSI) Protocol
PowerFlex 520-series drives support the RS485 (DSI) protocol to allow efficient
operation with Rockwell Automation peripherals. In addition, some Modbus
functions are supported to allow simple networking. PowerFlex 520-series drives
can be multi-dropped on an RS485 network using Modbus protocol in RTU
mode.
