A-1 Modbus TCP  
AC30V series Variable Speed Drive 
Appendix A: Modbus TCP 
Introduction 
The AC30V built-in Ethernet includes a Modbus TCP server.  The Modbus registers are mapped to the AC30V parameters.  Up to 3 simultaneous 
connections to Modbus clients are possible. TCP port 502 is used. 
 
Making a connection to the Ethernet and setting an IP address on the AC30V is described in Chapter 12 (Ethernet). If the Modbus TCP is used 
as part of a process control it is recommended a dedicated network be used with fixed IP addresses for the AC30V drives. 
 
To allow Modbus TCP connections to the AC30V, the parameter 0939 Maximum Connections must be set to a value greater than zero. 
 
MODBUS REGISTER MAPPING 
The AC30V parameters are mapped to the Holding Registers and Input Registers, either as a fixed mapping or as a user-defined mapping.  
There is no mapping to Coils or Discrete Inputs. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
Holding Register Address  Input Register Address  Description 
00001 - 00256  00001 - 00256  User-defined mapping to AC30 parameter values. 
00257 - 00528  00257 - 00528  Reserved area.  
Do not write into this register range.
