Chapter 8  MODBUS Communications| ASDA-A&A+ Series 
8-6     Revision April 2009 
 
0302H 
Communication 
Protocol 
Default: 0 
Range: 0~8 
Settings: 
0: Modbus ASCII mode, <7,N,2>  
1: Modbus ASCII mode, <7,E,1 >  
2: Modbus ASCII mode, <7,O,1>  
3: Modbus ASCII mode, <8,N,2 > 
4: Modbus ASCII mode, <8,E,1> 
5: Modbus ASCII mode, <8,O,1>  
6: Modbus RTU mode, <8,N,2>  
7: Modbus RTU mode, <8,E,1>  
8: Modbus RTU mode, <8,O,1>  
  This parameter is used to set the communication protocol. The alphanumeric characters represent the 
following: 7 or 8 is the number of data bits; N, E or O refer to the parity bit, Non, Even or Odd; the 1 or 2 
is the numbers of stop bits. 
 
0303H 
Transmission Fault 
Treatment 
Default: 0 
Range: 0~1 
Settings: 
0: Display fault and continue operating 
1: Display fault and stop operating 
  This parameter is used to determine the operating sequence once a communication fault has been 
detected. If '1' is selected the drive will stop operating upon detection the communication fault. The 
mode of stopping is set by parameter P1-32. 
 
0304H 
Communication Time 
Out Detection 
Watch Dog Timer (It is not recommended to change the factory default setting if 
not necessary) 
Default: 0 
Range: 0~20 sec. 
The factory default setting is set to 0 and it indicates this function is disabled. 
  When this parameter is set to any value over 0, it indicates that the timer is enabled. The value set in 
this parameter is the communication time and the communication time out detection should be 
completed within the time. Otherwise, a communication error will occur.  
  For example, if the value set in this parameter is 5, it indicates that the communication time out 
detection will be activated once in five seconds or a communication error will occur. 
 
0305H 
Communication 
Mode 
Communication selection: 
Default: 0 
Range: 0~2 
Settings: 
0: RS-232 
1: RS-422 
2: RS-485 
  Multiple communication modes RS232, RS-485, RS-422 cannot be used within one communication ring.
