• Computer Link Control by PC or PLC (Computer Link)
• A VFD CORE can be set up to communicate on Modbus networks 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
RS-485 serial port communication protocol in Pr.09-00.
• MODBUS ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange: Each byte data is the combination of two ASCII
characters. For example, a 1-byte data: 64 Hex, shown as ‘64’ in ASCII, consists of ‘6’ (36Hex) and ‘4’ (34Hex).
1. Code Description
Communication protocol is in hexadecimal, ASCII: "0", "9", "A", "F", every 16 hexadecimal represents ASCII code. For
example:
