Appendix 4 MODBUS Communication
220
*notes:
In the way of choosing even parity checking, user can obtain the fastest communication
response.
The minimum transmission period is the interval between sending data from master
station and receiving the correct data from the slave.
If the transmission period is smaller than the minimum one, the master station is likely to
receive disorderedly coded data.
Format of MODBUS Messages
When the inverter communicates with master controller (Such as PC, PLC ,etc.),the
master send message to the inverter and the inverter sends an answer message to the
master. The process or of MODBUS communication is like the right diagram
description.
As the MODBUS instructions are various, the content may be different. The distance
between two MODBUS messages must keep the under mentioned time.

Inverter Address

When the inverter address value is set to 0 , in broadcast mode ,the master sends out
message simultaneously, the inverter will not give a response to the master.
