Modbus RTU Protocol E-5
Reading (03) Drive Error Codes
The PowerFlex 400 Error Code data can be read via the network by
sending Function Code 03 reads to register address 8449 (Drive Error
Codes).
Reading (03) and Writing (06) Drive Parameters
To access drive parameters, the Modbus register address equals the
parameter number. For example, a decimal “1” is used to address
Parameter b001 [Output Freq] and decimal “39” is used to address
Parameter P039 [Accel Time 1].
