2.4. Master Configuration
For standard Modbus 11-bit transmission, the Master must be configured for 2 stop bits with No Parity and 1 stop bit for odd or even parity.
For 10-bit transmission, the Master must be configured for 1 stop bit.
In all cases, the Master baud rate and slave address must match those set on the Modbus Module DIP switches.

Connection |
3. Connection
MCD 200: For the MCD Modbus Module to accept serial commands, a link must be fitted across terminals A1-N2 on the soft starter.
In order for the MCD 500 to accept commands from the serial network, the soft starter must be in Auto On mode and links must be fitted to terminals 17, 18 and 25, 18.
In Hand On mode, the starter will not accept commands from the serial network but the starter's status can still be monitored.

N.B.!:
If MCD 500 parameter 3-2 Comms in Remote is set to Disable Comms in Remote, the starter will not accept start or stop commands from the serial network (the starter will still accept reset commands and allow status monitoring).
4. LEDs
The Network Status LED (1) indicates the state of the communications link between the module and the network. LED operation is as follows:

|
|
N.B.!:
If communication is inactive, the soft starter may trip if the Communications Timeout function has been set on the module. When communication is restored, the soft starter will require a Reset.

Modbus Functions |
MCD Modbus Module Instructions |
5. Modbus Functions
The Modbus Module supports the following Modbus functions:
03 Read multiple registers
06 Write single register
16 Write multiple registers
Modbus broadcast functions are not supported.
MCD 200 soft starters (including Remote Operator):
Read multiple registers 40003 to 40008
Write single register 40002 MCD 500 soft starters:
Read multiple registers starting from 40003 up to a maximum of 119 register blocks.
Single write register 40002 or multiple write registers 40009 to 40599.
N.B.!:
A multiple read across register boundary 40008/40009 will result in a Modbus Error code 05 at the Master.
