  1. Control by PC or PLC 
A VFD-B can be set up to communicate on Modbus networks using one of the following modes: 
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) or RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). 
Users can select the desired mode along with the serial port communication protocol in Pr.09-04.  
Code Description: 
 
ASCII mode: 
Each 8-bit data is the combination of two ASCII characters. For example, a 1-byte data: 
64 Hex, shown as ‘64’ in ASCII, consists of ‘6’ (36Hex) and ‘4’ (34Hex).
 
Character ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘2’ ‘3’ ‘4’ ‘5’ ‘6’ ‘7’
