Serial Mode (M02)
This parameter defines the data format used by the EIA485 comms port on the drive. 
The bits in the value of Serial Mode (M02) define the data format as follows.:
Bit 3 is always 0 in the core product as 8 data bits are required for MODBUS RTU. 
Bit 2 selects either standard or modified register mode. The menu and parameter numbers are derived for each mode as given in the table below. 
Standard mode is the default setting and allows up to 99 parameters to be accessed within a menu. Modified mode is provided to allow register 
numbers up to 255 to be addressed. 
This parameter can be changed via the drive keypad, or via the comms interface itself. Changing the parameters does not immediately change the 
serial communications settings. See note below for more details.
Serial Baud Rate (M03) 
This parameter defines the baud rate used by the serial comms interface. 
Changing the parameters does not immediately change the serial communications settings. See note below for more details.
