Serial Modbus-capable AutomationDirect PLCs can communicate with the GS4 drive (for GS4
Ethernet connectivity and control, refer to the Ethernet option card information in Appendix B).
Serial Modbus control is easier to accomplish from a PLC that has a built-in RS-485 port and
supports dedicated Modbus messaging. [RS-232-only PLCs will require an RS-232–RS-485
converter (FA-ISOCON); and older PLCs may require programming to construct the Modbus
strings.] We recommend PLCs with built-in RS-485 ports and dedicated Modbus serial commands:
CLICK (with RS-485 ports), P2000, P3000, BRX/Do-more, DirectLogic (DL06 or D2-260). Other
PLC-Drive connectivity is possible: Please refer to the “Typical ADC PLC to GS4 Serial Connectivity
Matrix” below.
