Modbus View
The Modbus View is used to assign Modbus addresses to individual parameters.
By selecting Modbus in the hierarchy view, the Modbus View will appear in the right (see
Figure 51). The right part of the screen displays all of the drive parameters. The number of
parameters that appear depends on the User Level (see the User Level section earlier in this
chapter).
Figure 51: Modbus View
An external device such as a Human Manchine Interface (HMI) or PLC can be used to
monitor or edit individual FM-3 parameters. The FM-3 and E Series drives use a 32-bit
Modbus RTU communications protocol.
In order to view or modify a parameter, a Modbus address must be assigned to the specific
parameter. To do this, locate the parameter you wish to read/write to or from in the variables
list in the middle of the view. Once you have found the proper parameter, click and hold the
left mouse button over the parameter. While still holding the button on your mouse, drag the
parameter into the Modbus window area on the right of the view. Now let go of the mouse
button.
