Communicating with Third-party Devices
The GS1 Comm Port can accommodate an RS485
network connection. The GS1 Comm Port pin-out
can be found to the right. An RS-485 network cable
can span up to 1000 meters (4000 feet).
The GS1 Series AC drive communication address is
specified by 9-00. The third party device then
controls each AC drive according to its
communication address.
The GS1 Series AC drive can be setup to communicate on standard MODBUS
networks using the following transmission modes: ASCII or RTU. Using the
Communication Protocol parameter (9-02), you can select the desired mode, data
bits, parity, and stop bits. The mode and serial parameters must be the same for all
devices on a MODBUS network.
