7.3 VACON parameters
The Vacon variables and parameters can be read and written by using the following function codes and
addresses:
Modbus Address Modbus Register Function code Vacon Par/Var Access rights
40000 - 40099 40001 - 40100 3, 6 References R/W
40100 - 49999 40101 - 49100 3, 6 Parameters R/W
30000 - 30099 30001 - 30100 4 Variables R
30100 30101 4 Fault Code R
7.3.1 Frequency reference
If the Modbus master is the active control source, the frequency reference can be changed by using the
function code 6 or read by using the function code 6. Modbus address according to reference as follows.
Modbus address Range Step Default
40000 Par 1.1 - Par 1.2 0,01 Hz 0,00 - 50,00 Hz
The reference value should be given without decimals (e.g. ref. 10 Hz -> value 1000)
Example 1: Set frequency reference value 10,00 Hz to Vacon CX.
Response is an echo of the query.
