WARNING

DAMAGE DRIVE EQUIPMENT

Do not operate or install any drive or drive accessory that appears damaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL

• The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for

certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure.
Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop.

• Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.

• System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications

of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link (1).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Notes:

• Baud rate and parity bit should be uniform inside the same network.

• Modbus address should not be duplicate inside the same network.

• Stop bit isn't configurable. ATV212 Tx is 2 stop bit, Rx is 1 or 2 stop bits. This permits a good comunication

with Master in 1 and 2 stop bits.

• F800 and F801 parameters are used to define the baudrate and parity of RJ45 port.

• F820 and F821 parameters are used to define the baudrate and parity of Open style connector port.

• F802 and F803 parameters are used to define the modbus address and communication time out for

both ports (RJ45 et Open style connector). Set F802 between 1 to 247 (address 0 is not active).

• F807 parameter enables to select the communication command channel: RJ45 or Open style connector.

The port not set as the communication command channel may be used for monitoring purposes to check
that the setting change on F807 was effectively taken into account.

Configuration of the control source

The Altivar 212 can receive commands and setpoint from the Modbus network or from the terminals (F, R,
RES, VIA, VIB). In the default configuration, both commands and setpoint come from the terminals.

The LOC/REM key of the operation panel is available to switch the control to the operation panel. The inputs
F, R or RES can be configured to switch the control from the Modbus network to the terminals.

Different usual possibilities are described in the chapters below:

• Control from the Modbus network,

• Control from the terminals, monitoring from the Modbus network,

• Control from the Modbus network or the terminals, switched via Modbus,

• Command from the Modbus network, setpoint from the Modbus network or the terminals switched to by a

logic input.

Refer to these examples.

Control by the Modbus network

The commands and the setpoint come from the Modbus network. The signals wired on the terminals are
ignored. The LOC/REM key is valid.

Configure the Modbus time out

A communication detected fault (Err5 and Err8) is triggered if the Altivar 212 does not receive any valid
Modbus requests at its address within a predefined time period (time out) set in the [Com. time out] (F803)
parameter. The timer starts when the communication has been established for the first time (valid frame, drive
address matches). Any Modbus request function is taken into account to reactivated the timer (read, write and
identification).

S1A53844 01/2011 31

Principle of the Modbus protocol

Only one device can transmit on the line at any one time.

The master manages the exchanges and only it can take the initiative.

It interrogates each of the slaves in succession.
No slave can send a message unless it is invited to do so.

In the event of an error during data exchange, the master repeats the question and
declares the interrogated slave absent if no response is received within a given time
period.

If a slave does not understand a message, it sends an error response to the master. The
master may or may not repeat the request.

Master

Slave i

Slave k

Slave j

The Modbus protocol is a master-slave protocol.

Modbus services

RTU mode

Two types of dialog are possible between master and slaves:

• The master sends a request to a slave and waits for it to respond. The request contains the slave address

(1 ... 247).

• Broadcast: the master sends a request to all slaves. Slaves do not answer. The value of the slave address

is 0.

Direct slave-to-slave communications are not possible.

For slave-to-slave communication, the master’s application software must therefore be designed to interrogate
one slave and send back data received to the other slave.

ATV212 supports RTU mode.

The Modbus RTU frame contains no message header byte, nor end of message bytes.
It is defined as follows:

Slave address Function code Data CRC16

The data is transmitted in binary code.

CRC16: Cyclic redundancy check parameter.

The end of the frame is detected on a silence greater than or equal to 3 characters.

The master must not introduce a space of more than 3.5 characters in a frame; otherwise the drive may
recognize it as a start of new frame.

Modbus functions available

The following table indicates which Modbus functions are managed by the Altivar 212 and specifies their limits.

The "read" and "write" functions are defined from the point of view of the master.

model

• "Adjusment range" or "Range" means the data cannot be written outside the range.

The data is expressed in the decimal notation. For writing the data through the communication function,
take the minimum setting unit into consideration, and use hexadecimal notation.

• "Minimum setting unit" is the unit of a single data.

For example, the "Minimum setting unit" of [Acceleration time 1] (ACC) is 0.1. 1 corresponds to 0.1s. For
setting the ACC to 10 seconds, transmit 16#03E8 by communication [10÷0.01=1000=16#03E8].

Monitoring and control of I/O from communication

The digital inputs, digital outputs, analog input and output signals of the drives can be controlled by
communication.

Digital inputs status (Fd06, FE06)

Digital inputs status immediately before the occurrence of a trip: [Status of input terminal block] (FE06)

Current digital inputs status: [Status of input terminal block] (Fd06)

In case "0: No assignment function" is selected in function selection, drive operations will not be affected even
when terminals are turned

on and off. Therefore, the terminals can be used as input terminals for customer's own use.

The input terminal function selection parameter is used to select a function for each input terminal.

Parameter list

Analog outputs command (FA51)

The analog output FM on the drive can be controlled directly by communication.

Select 18 [Com data] in [AO funct. selection] (FMSL) parameter before controlling them.
The data adjustment range is 0 to 1023 (10bit resolution). Refer to "Meter Setting and adjustment" in the
ATV 212 programming manual for complete information.

Communication feedback (FA49)

Damper function. This function applies to the ventilation ducts. The aim is to control the opening of the duct
(shutter device called a "damper") when the fan starts up.

Damper opening command

The opening command can be assigned to a relay via the F130 or F132 parameters to the function

[Damper] 68 or [Inv. damper] 69. The damper is closed automatically when there is no longer an opening

command.

Damper opening feedback

Opening is controlled by a bit or a logic input that can be assigned via the F111 or F112 or F113
parameters to the function 73. The corresponding logic input or bit can be configured via the parameter

[Damper fdb type] F580.

When there is an inconsistency, the drive goes on a [Damper fault 1] Fd1 if the damper does not open and
on a [Damper fault 2] Fd2 if it does not close.

The parameter [Time open damper] F581 can be used to delay tripping on an opening fault when a run
command is sent and the parameter [Time close damper] F582 delays the closing fault when a stop
command is sent.

The RS485 standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A-1998) allows variants of certain characteristics:

• Polarization

• Line termination

• Distribution of a reference potential

• Number of slaves

• Length of bus

It does not specify the connector type or pinout.

The Modbus specification published on www.modbus.org in 2002 contains precise details of these
characteristics. They are also summarized in the next sections (Modbus 2-wire and 4-wire standard
schematics). The latest generation Schneider Electric devices conform to this specification.

Modbus 2-wire standard schematic

The standard schematic corresponds to the Modbus specification published in 2002 on www.modbus.org
(Modbus_over_serial_line_V1.pdf, Nov 2002) and, in particular, to the 2-wire multipoint serial bus schematic.

Migration ATV21 - ATV212

General

The ATV212 is compatible with the ATV21

Migration Modbus ATV21 to ATV212: When controlling ATV21 using Modbus RJ45, parameter [Network

protocol] (F829) should be set to 1.

With ATV212, parameter F829 should also be set to 1 and parameter [Com channel choice] (F807) set
to [RJ45] (0). Factory setting is [Network] (1).

Settings of other communication parameters described in the programming manual remain the same as on
ATV21.

A configuration transfer from ATV21 to ATV212 is possible.

For example:

You can upload a configuration from an ATV21 via PC Soft (and selected the drive Type : ATV21) and download
it into ATV212.

After a transfer from ATV21 to ATV212, the new parameters stay at their factory setting:

[Damper fdb type] (F580), [Time open Damper] (F581), [Time close Damper] (F582) ,[Damper flt
behavior] (F583),[Forced fire control] (F650), [Forced fire function] (F659), [Com channel
choice] (F807), [Mdb network baud] (F820), [Mdb network parity] (F821) and
[LL for ov.cur. prev.] (F390).

The download configuration is not allowed if the drive is running.

In case of an interruption of download configuration transfer to the drive and detected fault, the
This detected fault code keeps also present even after power off of the drive.

To reset the download transfer detected fault code CFI2:

z Make a new successful transfer
z Make a factory setting on the drive (using tYP parameter)

Migration

CFI2 is set.

Commissioning

At the end of download transfer, the drive cannot run if a logic input configured to a function is active. To use the
function and run the motor, it's necessary to disable and enable the logic input.

Compatible loader tool with ATV21

z PC Soft V1.0 and higher

Compatible loader tools with ATV212:
