Emotron AB 01-3694-01r2 Serial communication 59
10. Serial communication
The VSD has an asynchronous serial communication inter-
face. The protocol used for data exchange is based in the
Modbus RTU protocol, originally developed by Modicon.
the physical connection is RS232. The VSD acts as a slave
with address 1 in a master-slave configuration. The commu-
nication is half-duplex. It has a standard non return zero
(NRZ) format.
The baudrate is fixed to 9600.
The character frame format (always 11 bits) has:
• one start bit
• eight data bits
•two stop bits
•no parity
It is possible to temporarily connect a personal computer
with for example the software EmoSoftCom (programming
and monitoring software) to the RS232 connector on the
control panel. This can be useful when copying parameters
between variable speed drives etc. For permanent connection
of a personal computer you have to use one of the commu-
nication option boards.

10.1 Parameter sets
Communication information for the different parameter
sets.
The different parameter sets in the VSD have the following
DeviceNet instance numbers and Profibus slot/index num-
bers:
Parameter set A contains parameters 43001 to 43529. The
parameter sets B, C and D contains the same type of infor-
mation. For example parameter 43123 in parameter set A
contain the same type of information as 44123 in parameter
set B.
A DeviceNet instance number can easily be converted into a
Profibus slot/index number according to description in sec-
tion section 11.9.2, page 143.
10.2 Motor data
Communication information for the different motors.
M1 contains parameters 43041 to 43048. The M2, M3, and
M4 contains the same type of information. For example
parameter 43043 in motor M1 contain the same type of
information as 44043 in M2.
A DeviceNet instance number can easily be converted into a
Profibus slot/index number according to description in sec-
tion section 11.9.2, page 143.
NOTE: This RS232 port is not isolated.
