ADR (Communication Address)
Valid communication addresses are in the range of 0 to 254. A communication address equal to 0
means broadcast to all AC drives, in which case the drives will not acknowledge any message from
the master device.
For example, communication to AC drive with address 16 decimal:
•
ASCII mode: (ADR 1, ADR 0)=’1’,’0’ => ‘1’=31H, ‘0’=30H
•
RTU mode: (ADR)=10H
