Communicating with the PLC   
7.2 MODBUS communication 
  SINAMICS V20 Converter 
186  Operating Instructions, 10/2019, A5E34559884-012 
Basic converter settings 
 
= 30: restores to factory settings 
P0970  Factory reset  Possible settings: 
= 1: resets all parameters (not user defaults) to their default 
values 
= 21: resets all parameters and all user defaults to factory 
reset state 
 Parameters P2010, P2021, P2023 retain their values after a 
P0700  Selection of command source  = 5: USS/MODBUS on RS485 
Factory default: 1 (operator panel) 
P2010[0]  USS/MODBUS baudrate  Possible settings: 
= 6: 9600 bps (factory default) 
= 7: 19200 bps 
= 8: 38400 bps 
... 
USS/MODBUS telegram off time [ms] 
If time set to 0, no fault is generated (i.e. watchdog disabled). 
P2021  Modbus address  Sets the unique address for the converter. 
Range: 1 to 247 (factory default: 1) 
Modbus reply timeout [ms] 
Range: 0 to 10000 (factory default: 1000) 
P2023  RS485 protocol selection  = 2: Modbus 
Factory default: 1 (USS) 
 After changing P2023, powercycle the converter. During the 
powercycle, wait until LED has gone off or the display has gone 
blank (may take a few seconds) before re-applying power. If P2023 
has been changed via a PLC, make sure the change has been 
saved to EEPROM via P0971. 
r2024[0] 
... 
USS/MODBUS error statistics  The state of the telegram information on RS485 is reported regard-
less of the protocol set in P2023. 
r2018[0...7]  CO: PZD from USS/ MODBUS on 
Displays process data received via USS/MODBUS on RS485. 
CI: PZD to USS/MODBUS on RS485 
Displays process data transmitted via USS/MODBUS on RS485. 
P2034  MODBUS parity on RS485  Sets the parity of MODBUS telegrams on RS485. 
Possible settings: 
= 0: no parity 
= 1: odd parity 
P2035  MODBUS stop bits on RS485  Sets the number of stop bits in MODBUS telegrams on RS485. 
Possible settings: 
= 1: 1 stop bit
