ELAU DRIVE
Communication between a VTxxxW device and ELAU Max-4 devices can
be established by using the ModBus Master Slow Peripherals protocol and
a communication speed between 9600 and 38400 baud.
You can use either a 4-wire RS422 or a 2-wire RS485 connection. In the
latter case it is essential to use the ELAU ModBus_v001001.lib library or a
later version. Using the RS485 connection allows you to connect more than
one ELAU device to the same VT port.
The Function-Block prepared by ELAU makes available 4 data arrays,
whose length can be defined by the user, for communication with the VT .
