11.3.1 EMC Precautions
To achieve interference-free operation of the RS485
network, the following EMC precautions are recommended.
Relevant national and local regulations regarding
protective ground connection, for example, must be
observed. The RS485 communication cable must be kept
away from motor and brake resistor cables to avoid
coupling of high-frequency noise from 1 cable to another.
Normally a distance of 200 mm (8 in) is sucient. However,
in situations where cables run in parallel over long
distances, keeping the greatest possible distance between
cables is recommended. When crossing is unavoidable, the
RS485 cable must cross motor and brake resistor cables at
an angle of 90°.

RS485: FC Protocol Overview
11.4.1 FC Protocol Overview
The FC protocol, also referred to as FC bus or standard bus,
is the Danfoss standard
eldbus. It denes an access
technique according to the master/slave principle for
communications via a eld bus.
One master and a maximum of 126 slaves can be
connected to the bus. The master selects the individual
slaves via an address character in the telegram. The slave
itself can never transmit without rst being requested to
do so, and direct message transfer between the individual
slaves is not possible. Communications occur in the half-
duplex mode.
The master function cannot be transferred to another node
(single-master system).
The physical layer is RS485, thus utilizing the RS485 port
built into the drive. The FC protocol supports
dierent
telegram formats:
•
A short format of 8 bytes for process data.
•
A long format of 16 bytes that also includes a
parameter channel.
•
A format used for texts.
11.4.2 Drive Set-up
