9.2  RS-485 / RS-232 Communication Parameters Setting 
The following four parameters, P3-00 (Address Setting), P3-01 (Transmission Speed), P3-02 
(Communication Protocol) and P3-05 (Communication Mechanism), are essential and must be set 
for the communication of the servo drive. The rest, such as P3-03 (Communication Error Disposal), 
P3-04 (Communication Timeout), P3-06 (Control Switch of Digital Input), P3-07 (Communication 
Response Delay Time) and P3-08 (Monitor Mode) is optional. Please refer to Chapter 8 of this user 
manual.

When using RS-232/RS-485 to communicate, one servo drive can only 
set one address. The duplicate address setting will cause abnormal 
communication. 
This address represents the absolute address of the servo drive in 
communication network. It is also applicable to RS-232/485 and CAN 
bus.  
When the communication address setting of MODBUS is set to 0xFF, 
the servo drive will automatically reply and receive data regardless of 
the address. However, P3-00 cannot be set to 0xFF.
