Serial Interface (Modbus RTU)
136 M-Max Series Adjustable Frequency Drive MN04020003E—October 2013 www.eaton.com
Data Storage with Modbus
The information is stored in one input and one holding register.
The registers are the memory location of the data. The memory size of each register is
1 word.
Modbus-Register-Mapping
The register mapping enables the processing in MMX of the content listed in the following
table via Modbus RTU.
Each content in this table is assigned an ID number (abbreviation of the register numbers).
This ID number is used in M-Max for the communication with Modbus RTU.
Example: Control word (ID 2001)
With some PLC manufacturers, the interface driver for Modbus RTU communication may
contain an offset of +1 (the ID to be used would then be 2000 instead of 2001).
When processing values, the comma is not included, for example, the motor current (ID 2106)
in the display of the MMX is shown as 0.35 A but is transferred via Modbus as 0023 (hex)
(0035 [dec]).
