1 Safety Information

1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes

1.1.1 General

Some parts of Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can be live, moving and rotating. Some surfaces can be hot.

Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, and incorrect installation or operation creates the risk of severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance must be carried out by qualiﬁed, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC report 664 or DIN VDE0110 and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed).

According to this basic safety information, qualiﬁed skilled personnel are persons who are familiar with the installation, assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the qualiﬁcations necessary for their occupation.

1.1.2 Application

Safety Information

Drive controllers are components designed for installation in electrical systems or machinery. They are not to be used as appliances. They are intended exclusively for professional and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2. The documentation includes information on compliance with EN 61000-3-2.

When installing the drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. the starting of operation as directed) is prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the EC Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.

Commissioning (i.e. starting drive as directed) is only allowed when there is compliance to the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC).

The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonised standards of the series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 apply to the controllers.

The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3. These products can cause radio interference in residential areas. In the case of radio interference, special measures may be necessary for drive controllers.

1.1.3 Installation

Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any components and do not change any insulation distances during transport or handling. Do not touch any electronic components and contacts. Controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can easily be damaged by inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this might endanger your health! When installing the drive ensure optimal airﬂow by observing all clearance distances in the drive's user manual. Do not expose the drive to excessive: vibration, temperature, humidity, sunlight, dust, pollutants, corrosive chemicals or other hazardous environments.

1 RG-SFMOD

1.1.4 Electrical Connection

When working on live drive controllers, applicable national regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must be observed.

The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the appropriate regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections, fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained from the regulatory documentation.

The regulatory documentation contains information about installation in compliance with EMC (shielding, grounding, ﬁlters and cables). These notes must also be observed for CE-marked controllers.

The manufacturer of the system or machine is responsible for compliance with the required limit values demanded by EMC legislation.

1.1.5 Operation

Systems including controllers must be equipped with additional monitoring and protection devices according to the corresponding standards (e.g. technical equipment, regulations for prevention of accidents, etc.). You are allowed to adapt the controller to your application as described in the documentation.

Safety Information

DANGER!

• After the controller has been disconnected from the supply voltage, do not touch the live components and power

connection until the capacitors have discharged. Please observe the corresponding notes on the controller.

• Do not continuously cycle input power to the controller more than once every three minutes.

• Close all protective covers and doors during operation.

WARNING!

Network control permits automatic starting and stopping of the inverter drive. The system design must incorporate adequate protection to prevent personnel from accessing moving equipment while power is applied to the drive system.

2 Introduction

This document deﬁnes the speciﬁcs required for Modbus serial communication with a Lenze-AC Tech standard SCF Series drives for control, status monitoring, and programming parameters. A familiarity with normal drive capabilities and operations is assumed. If this is not the case, refer to the SCF Series Installation and Operation manual (SF01) for more information.

2.1 Modbus Details

A. AC Tech Drives running the Modbus communication protocol use the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit)

transmission mode and are slaves only. Therefore, the device communicating with the drives must be a Modbus Master. The baud rate is 9600, no parity (two stop bits). There are provisions for Odd parity 1 stop bit and Even parity 1 stop bit as well. The bit sequence is:

Start bit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Stop bit Stop bit

B. At this time the AC Tech drives do not support the broadcast function of the protocol.

C. IMPORTANT NOTE: Modbus 3X and 4X Registers are numbered starting at 1. However, when

transmitted to a slave over the serial link, the actual address transmitted is one less. This is because the addresses are numbered starting from 0. AC Tech register numbers are also numbered starting from 0. Therefore, AC Tech register numbers always correspond exactly with the address transmitted. As a result, MODBUS REGISTER NUMBERS ARE ALWAYS ONE GREATER THAN AC TECH REGISTER NUMBERS. WHENEVER THE WORDS “REGISTER #xx” APPEAR, IT SHOULD BE ASSUMED THAT THEY MEAN “AC TECH REGISTER xx” and the Modbus Register number will be one larger. In some instances we may show both for clarity. For example: “Register #24 (Modbus Register #25) . . .”

Introduction

DATA

D. The function codes supported by AC Tech drives are:

03 Read Holding Registers (4X references). In general we can read only one register at a time. However,

there are a few limited exceptions.

Exception One: Register #24 (Modbus Register #25) Drive Status, can also be read as a group of 6 words.

Exception Two: AC Tech uses a method of reading a group of related registers that may not be consecutive within the drive memory map. When this is done for the registers below, the response from the drive will be for the number of words requested but will not be with consecutive registers.

04 Read Input Registers (3X references). As with function 03, we read one register at a time except

where noted.

3 RG-SFMOD

Introduction

06 Preset Single Register (4X references). Write single register.

16 Preset Multiple Registers (4X references). Although the function is for multiple registers, we will

accept only a single register to be written.

Note: Since we do not differentiate between 4X and 3X references, function codes 03 and 04 are treated identically.

E. Exception codes:

01 - Command rejected, Illegal function 02 - No such register 03 - Data out of range 04 - Wrong data format 06 - Slave device busy. Registers cannot be written while the drive is in keypad programming mode.

F. The AC Tech drive will most nearly conform to the Modicon® Micro 84 in capabilities. This may be of

importance when conﬁguring networks for DDE Servers.

2.2 Universal Registers

Lenze-AC Tech manufactures several drive families. Currently the QC, MC, MCH, SC, TC, Series drives support Modbus based communications. Since each drive family has different parameters and size ranges, the parameter (register) deﬁnitions are in many cases quite different. In order to facilitate communication in a network with a mix of drive types, certain AC Tech Register locations have been made universal among AC Tech drives. While their locations are consistent, their contents may vary as deﬁned in Table 2.

AC Tech Reg # Function

1 Drive Control (WRITE ONLY). Not all drives will have all control functions but when the function is

available it will be at a deﬁned bit location within Register #1. Drive Family and register Conﬁguration Number dependent.

19 Drive Family (READ ONLY) This register is CONSISTENT AMONG ALL AC TECH DRIVES:

- 64 -- QC family - 67 -- - 70 -- TCF family

- 65 -- MC family - 68 -- MCH family - 71 --

- 66 -- SCF family - 69 --

21 Drive Size (READ ONLY). Code to identify Power (HP/KW) and Line Voltage of the drive. Family

dependent. For the SC series it always reads zero.

24 Drive Status (READ ONLY). Various operational variables.

48 Unlock Control (WRITE ONLY).

Data & Register Format

3 Data Representation - Internal and External

3.1 Register Format

All registers are 16 bits. The data within these registers can take on the following forms:

• Individual bit commands (16 per register).

Example: Register #1 (Modbus Register #2).

• Individual bit ﬂags (16 per register).

Example: Register #22.

• A chain of two 8 bit unsigned integers.

• A 16 bit unsigned integer.

This unsigned integer could in turn represent many different types of data with various scaling rules and units, which are deﬁned by the DATA TYPE of the register.

3.2 Data Types

Data passed in registers across the Modbus communications link are always in INTERNAL units. The drive itself may show the information in alternate DISPLAYED units. For Example: drive speeds are always stored internally as tenths of a Hz but the drive may display that speed in whole Hz by dropping the tenth using programmed conversion factors. Table 3 lists examples of the internal units used on the SCF series.

3.3 AC Tech Drive Registers

Registers #0 through #50: (Modbus Registers #1 to #51) Reserved for conﬁguration and control Registers #51 through #255 (Modbus Registers #52 to #256) Reserved for the drives’ programming

Table 3: SCF Series Internal Units

Type Unit Example

SPEED .1Hz 60Hz = 600

TIME .1Sec 30.0Sec = 300

mode parameters. Programming Mode Parameters are the parameters that can be accessed from the local keypad on the drive. There is a direct correspondence between the SCF Drive Programming Mode Parameter number and the AC Tech Register number (and consequently, the Modbus register number):

AC Tech Register # = (SCF Programming Parameter #) + 50 Modbus Register # = (SCF Programming Parameter #) + 51

The entries in Table 5 are based on SCF Drive Software # 213-064 Revision 03 (Parameter Conﬁguration =

312). If a later revision of software were to change register deﬁnitions, drive operation could be seriously affected. This will be identiﬁed for a given drive by examining Register #50 (Parameter Conﬁguration Number). The number displayed at power up on drive display can also identify it. If it is not 312, writing to any register on the drive MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED unless your Controller has been setup to support the new conﬁguration.

Drive Setup & Operation

4 SCF Drive Setup & Operation

4.1 Serial Address

All AC Tech drives have a Serial Address Parameter that must be programmed prior to attempting to operate the serial interface (Programming Parameter #43 / AC Tech Register #93).

4.2 Serial Communications Parameter

All AC Tech drives have a Serial Communications Parameter that governs the operation of the Serial Link. On SCF drives this is #15 SERIAL LINK (register #65). Table 4 lists the selections for SC Parameter 15, SERIAL LINK.

Table 4: SCF Parameter 15 Selections

5 9600,E,1 WITHOUT TIMER

6 9600,O,1 WITH TIMER 10 sec

7 9600,O,1 WITHOUT TIMER

Explanation of Terms:

• DISABLED serial link not operational

• WITH TIMER serial link allows reading & writing of both control & programming parameters.

• WITHOUT TIMER serial link allows reading & writing of both control & programming parameters.

The Serial Communications Parameter must be appropriately programmed prior to attempting to communicate with the drive.

4.3 Control Parameter

Programming parameter #14 (control) must be programmed to 01 (terminal strip only). Serial operation will not work correctly if 02 (remote keypad only) or 03 (terminal strip or remote keypad) are selected.

Drive Setup & Operation

4.4 Unlocking & Locking Controls

Registers #48 and #1 are used in Unlocking and Locking Controls.

• A write to Register #48 (Unlock Controls) with a value of 0 will unlock controls. This enables the writing of Register #1 – the Drive Control Register and register #40 (keypad speed command).

Note: Terminal TB1 must be asserted in order to unlock serial control.

• If Register #48 (Unlock Controls) is written with a value that is the Drive’s Programming Password, then in addition to Register #1(Drive Control), writing to all other writeable registers is enabled (e.g.: register #81 -- Preset Speed #1). The factory default password for SCF series drives is 225.

• Once Register #48 (Unlock Controls) has been written, Controls are unlocked until Register#1 bit 1 (Lock Bit) has been written, Watchdog Timeout occurs or terminal TB1 is opened.

• Writing to Register #1 (Drive Control) with bit 1 set will Lock both Controls and Parameters (prevents writing to any register).

• The serial drive control can be unlocked only if terminal TB1 is asserted and the drive is not in programming mode.

• When LOCK is asserted, the drive drops out of SERIAL control and reverts back to the previous source of control.

• Even though drive might be locked, and thus parameters and control cannot be written, parameters and status can always be read. Refer to section 4.7,

Monitoring Only Operation

4.5 Unlocking & Locking Programming Parameters only

Registers #49 and #1 are used in Unlocking and Locking Programming Parameters.

• Writing to any writeable register other than #1 and #40 (keypad speed) can be enabled by writing the Drive’s Programming Password to Register #49 (Unlock Parameters). This would be done when Drive Control (start, stop, etc.) and keypad speed control (reg.#40) is not required.

• The Factory Default password is 225.

• Once Register #49 (Unlock Parameters) has been written, the writing of parameter registers is unlocked

until Register #1bit 1 (Lock Bit) has been set.

7 RG-SFMOD

4.6 Watchdog Timer

All AC Tech drives are equipped with a Serial Link “Watchdog Timer”. If the Modbus Master wishes to control the drive (start, stop, forward, reverse, etc.) it must ﬁrst “Unlock Controls” (refer to section 5.7). If the Watchdog Timer is enabled and controls have been unlocked, the Master MUST PERIODICALLY COMMUNICATE with the drive or the timer will timeout. Communications should typically be done at less than 5 sec intervals as the watchdog timer faults at 10 seconds. A Watchdog timeout forces the drive to stop because it is assumed that the failure of periodic communications with the drive could be a loss of the serial link with the accompanying loss of ability to command the drive to stop. The Watchdog Timer does not operate unless Controls have been UNLOCKED via Register #48, or parameters writing has been unlocked via Register #49. In case of unlocking parameters only, watchdog timer will disable write permission but will not stop the drive.

Watchdog Timer Controls

− For some applications, it is inappropriate to shut down the drive because of a Watchdog Timeout. Therefore, we have provided a means of disabling the Watchdog using Programming Parameter #15 (SERIAL LINK):

Programming Parameter #15 controls both the enabling of the serial link and the Watchdog. By setting Parameter #15 to one of the selections WITH TIMER enables the serial link WITH the Watchdog. Conversely, setting Parameter #15 to WITHOUT TIMER enables the serial link WITHOUT the Watchdog.

Drive Setup & Operation

− If the Watchdog Timer has been disabled, the Unlock Control Register #48 or Unlock Writing Register #49 must still be asserted in order to write to Register #1 (Drive Control) or to any of the programming parameters (in case of unlocking writing). However, there are no longer any constraints on how often the Master must communicate with the drive.

4.7 Monitoring Only Operation

1. Power up drive in TERMINAL mode with serial enabled.

2. Simply read AC Tech Register #24 (Modbus Register #25) or any other readable register.

3. No unlocking or watchdog issues apply for monitoring.

4.8 Normal Control Operation Sequence

1. Power up the drive with serial enabled and TB1 asserted.

2. Unlock control by writing a zero to Register #48.

3. Control drive operation via various commands to Register #1 (Start, Stop, Reverse direction, etc.) and change the keypad command speed by writing to Register #40.

Note: Drive must be in “MANUAL” (see Register #1 [drive control]) and Parameter #5 (standard speed source) must be set to 01 (keypad) in order to control speed via Register #40.

RG-SFMOD 8

Drive Setup & Operation

4. If the Watchdog Timer is enabled, keep it from timing out by ensuring that repeated reads of drive status (Register #24 – 6 registers) are performed at reasonable intervals (typically less than 5 seconds between reads because the Watchdog typically faults at 10 seconds).

5. Lock Control when drive operations are complete by writing a 2 to Register #1 (assert bit 1 of Register #1).

6. Drive is now returned to TERMINAL mode (control from the drive’s terminal).

4.9 Start/Stop, Speed Control and Parameter Change Operation

The typical sequence for a Start/Stop, Speed Control or Parameter Change operation is listed herein.

1. Power up drive with serial enabled and TB1 asserted.

2. Unlock Controls and Parameters by writing the current programming password (default 225) to Register #48.

3. Set parameter #5 (standard speed source) to 01 (keypad), and put drive in MANUAL mode so that it responds to speed commands from the Keypad Speed Command register. This is done by sending 0200 hex to Register #1 (bit 9 asserted).

4. Control Drive Operation via various commands to Register #1 (Start, Stop, Reverse direction, etc.).

5. Control Drive Speed by writing the Speed Commands to Register #40 (Keypad Speed Command).

6. Change the programming parameters (e.g., change the acceleration rate by writing new acceleration rate to register #69)

7. If the Watchdog Timer is enabled, keep it from timing out by insuring that repeated reads of any of the registers are performed at reasonable intervals (typically less than 5 seconds between reads because the Watchdog typically faults at 10 seconds). Note: It is suggested that the drive status register (#24) be used for this function.

8. Lock Controls and Parameters when drive operations are complete by writing a 2 to Register #1 (assert bit 1 of Register 1).

9. Drive is now returned to TERMINAL mode (control from the drive’s terminal).

Bit 3 = 1: the USER data on the EPM is compatible only. The data on the EPM is valid and usable by the drive but the parameter version of the data does not match the parameter version that the drive is currently using. Therefore the user will not be able to edit any of the data on the EPM until they perform a TRANSLATE with P48.

• CONTROL OF THE DRIVE SPEED VIA THE SERIAL LINK IS NORMALLY DONE USING THIS PARAMETER.

This register can be written only after enabling serial drive control.

5.7 Unlock Commands - Register #48

Register #48 (Unlock Commands) unlocks commands by using 0000 for the password. If the correct Programming mode password is entered then the appropriate programming parameters can also be accessed (refer to the full parameter protocol speciﬁcation if access to programming parameters is required). Enabling commands also activates the drive Watchdog timer if programming parameter #15 (Serial) is set to W/TIMER (it uses a ﬁxed 10 seconds timeout). If the drive sees no activity within the update time period it will stop the drive. Whenever a communications session (where #48 or #49was activated) is to be ended, register #1 bit 1 (Lock Security) must be asserted. This disables the watchdog and prevents further accesses to registers. Note: Terminal TB1 must be closed in order to unlock serial control.

5.8 Unlock Parameters - Register #49

Register #49 (Unlock Parameters) unlocks programming parameters for writing when the proper Programming Password is entered. Whenever a parameter writing session (where #49 was activated) is to be ended, register #1 bit 1 (Lock Security) must be asserted. This disables the watchdog and prevents further write access to Parameter Registers.

5.9 Register Version

Register Version is the number to identify if current version of software has any register changes relative to previous versions: a register has been added or deleted, a register’s min/max limits have changed, a register’s function has been changed, or a register’s default value has been changed. Generally it is the programming parameters that are changed. Typically the Control Registers (AC TECH Register #1 through #50) are quite stable.

Drive Control & Communication

7 Quick Start Instructions

Follow these Quick Start instructions to use ModBus Communications for basic network control of an SCF drive. These instructions are a reprint of Application Note AN0028,

using Modbus™ Communications

Tech Technical Library at http://www.lenze-actech.com.

7.1 Initial Settings

1. Set Parameter 14 (P14) to 01 to enable serial communication.

2. Set P43 to the desired network address that the Modbus master will poll. Valid Modbus addresses are 1-247.

TIP - Avoid using address 1. Most Modbus devices ship with a default address of 1. Duplicate addressing on a Modbus network is not allowed. It can lead to conﬂicts when replacing and commissioning nodes. To avoid this, do not to set the slave address to 1.

3. Set the Modbus master to 9600 baud. No other baud rates are supported by the SCF drive.

4. The SCF series drive has the provision for a watchdog timer to monitor network communications to the drive. The timer is hard coded to a value of 10 seconds. If the drive is under network control and the master does not communicate with the SCF drive for longer than the 10 second timeout period, the drive will STOP. The timer can either be enabled or disabled as outlined in the next step:

Basic Network Control of the SCF Drive

. To download the SCF product manual or application note visit the AC

5. The drive needs to have its network data formatting set the same as the Modbus master.

a. If the Modbus master is set to use 8 data bits, no parity and two stop bits and you want the

watchdog timer on the SCF drive ENABLED, set P15 to 02.

b. If the Modbus master is set to use 8 data bits, no parity and two stop bits and you want the

watchdog timer on the SCF drive DISABLED, set P15 to 03.

c. If the Modbus master is set to use 8 data bits, even parity and one stop bit and you want the

watchdog timer on the SCF drive ENABLED, set P15 to 04.

d. If the Modbus master is set to use 8 data bits, even parity and one stop bit and you want the

watchdog timer on the SCF drive DISABLED, set P15 to 05.

e. If the Modbus master is set to use 8 data bits, odd parity and one stop bit and you want the

watchdog timer on the SCF drive ENABLED, set P15 to 06.

f. If the Modbus master is set to use 8 data bits, odd parity and one stop bit and you want the

watchdog timer on the SCF drive DISABLED, set P15 to 07.

25 RG-SFMOD

7.2 Drive Control

1. Start/Stop Control: Please be advised that while the drive is under network control the local STOP circuit is always enabled. Input 1 needs to be asserted in order for the drive to start. If you will be starting/stopping the drive solely via network control, simply jumper the TB1 input to TB2.

2. Use either Modbus function code 16 with a length of 1 or Modbus function code 06 to perform any writes to the drive.

3. Unlocking the Drive: The ﬁrst write necessary to the drive to perform any function (start,change speed, change a parameter, etc) needs to be an unlock.

To only control the drive over the network you can write a value of 0 to the drive’s Modbus register 40049 (AC Tech register 48).

To both control the drive and alter any programming parameters then write the drive’s programming password to Modbus register 40049. The default password for the SCF drive is 225.

You should only need to send the unlock command once after power up. As long as the communications do not timeout you should not need to write another unlock to the drive before writing any other function.

Drive Control & Communication

4. Setting the Drive to Manual Mode: In order for the drive to respond to speed commands written to the keypad speed register the drive must be put into manual mode. To do this write a value of 200H to Modbus register 40002 (the drive’s control register). This step is not necessary if there are no other speed references setup on any TB-13x terminal.

7.3 Basic Drive Commands

The following are the basic drive commands. ONLY ONE OF THESE CAN BE DONE AT A TIME:

1. To STOP the drive using the stop method programmed in P04, write a value of 0004hex to Modbus register 40002 (AC Tech register 1).

2. To Start the drive write a value of 0008hex to Modbus register 40002.

3. To Set Reverse direction write a value of 0040hex to Modbus register 40002. P17 must be set to 2 in order for this command to be accepted.

4. To Set Forward direction (the drive powers up with forward direction already selected) write a value of 0080hex to Modbus register 40002.

5. If you want the network to control the speed of the drive, set P05 (Standard Speed Source) to 01 (Keypad) and write the speed to the Keypad Speed Command Register, Modbus register 40041 (AC Tech register 40). Speed is written in 0.1Hz (so 412 would be 41.2 Hz). In this mode the drive’s initial speed reference on power up will be the last speed written to the drive.

RG-SFMOD 26

Drive Control & Communication

7.4 Basic Drive Status

AC Tech register 24 is a 6 word entity containing the drive’s status information. To read the entire status block use Modbus function code 3 with a length of 6 to read starting at Modbus register number 40025. The low byte of the third word in this block of data contains the operational status. If this is the only data you want you can use Modbus function code 3 with a length of 1 to read register 40027.

The value of that low byte of data corresponds to the following operational states:

Operational Status (byte D3L or Register #26 DL)

VALUE* OPERATIONAL STATE

0 FAULT LOCKOUT

1 FAULT

2 START PENDING

3 STOP

4 DC BRAKE

5 RUN AT 0Hz

6 RUN

7 ACCEL

8 DECEL

9 CURRENT LIMIT

10 DECEL OVERRIDE

11 LOWER TRANSISTORS SWITCHING ON

* This is the decimal equivalent value of the binary number of the bits in that byte.

7.5 Basic Drive Network Programming

The programming parameters of the SCF drive may be altered by a Modbus master. To do so simply write the desired value to the appropriate Modbus register. The translation is as follows:

Modbus register number = SCF parameter number +51

As an example if you wanted to change the acceleration time (P19) of the SCF drive write the time desired into Modbus register 40070.Note that time is written in 0.1 seconds (so 200 would be 20.0 sec).
