Each MVX9000 AC drive has a pre-assigned communication address specified by
90.02. The computer then controls each AC drive according to its address.
The MVX9000 can be set up to communicate on a Modbus network 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 90.01 and 90.03.
