6.1.2 Serial Communication
We have the serial communications options, Modbus, Probus-DP, CANlink and CANopen.
F0-28 has to be set correctly to engage the selected serial communication card if Modbus,
Probus-DP or CANopen is selected. F0-28 need not be set if CANlink is selected.

When the AC drive is controlled via serial communication, the host computer must send write
command to the AC drive. Here takes the Modbus protocol as an example to describe process of
giving run command via communication.
Figure 6-11 Example below with Modbus serial comms.

Running
command
To make the drive run in reverse direction, the host computer sends the write command 01 06 20
00 00 02 03 CB (hexadecimal). In the command,
● 01H (settable): AC drive address
● 06H: write command
● 2000H: communication address
● 02H: reverse run
● 03CBH: CRC check
