C.5 Drive Operations by MEMOBUS/Modbus
The drive operations that can be performed by MEMOBUS/Modbus communication depend on drive parameter settings.
This section explains the functions that can be used and related parameter settings.
 Observing the Drive Operation
A PLC can perform the following actions with MEMOBUS/Modbus communications at any time regardless of
parameter settings (except H5-).
• Observe drive status and drive control terminal status from a PLC.
• Read and write parameters.
• Set and reset faults.
• Set multi-function inputs. Inputs settings from t
he input terminals (S1 to S8) and from MEMOBUS/Modbus
communications are both linked by an OR operation.
 Controlling the Drive
To start and stop the drive or set the frequency reference using MEMOBUS/Modbus communications, an external
reference must be selected and the parameters listed in Table C.2 must be adjusted accordingly.
