8.2  RS-485 / RS-232 Communication Parameter Settings 
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 7 of this user manual. 
The following table shows the contents of parameter P3-00. The corresponding 
communication address is 0300H ~ 0301H as shown in the right column.

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.
