Presentation

The Modbus socket on the Altivar 31 can be used for the following functions:

Configuration

Settings

Control

Monitoring

The ATV31 drive supports:

The 2-wire RS485 physical layer

The RTU transmission mode

This guide contains information on installation and describes the Modbus services available. The "communication variables" guide describes the operating modes, as well as the Altivar 31 variables and parameters which can be accessed via the communication bus.

Protection against interference

Use the Schneider-Electric cable with 2 pairs of shielded twisted conductors (reference: TSXCSA100, TSXCSA200, TSXCSA500).

Keep the Modbus cable from the power cables (30 cm minimum).

Make any crossovers of the Modbus cable and the power cables at right-angles, if necessary.

Connect the cable shielding to the ground of each device.

For more information, please refer to the TSX DG KBL E guide: "Electromagnetic compatibility of industrial networks and fieldbuses".

RS485 bus schematic

The RS485 standard allows variants of different characteristics:

polarisation

line terminator

distribution of a reference potential

number of slaves

length of bus

The new Modbus specification published on the Modbus.org site in 2002 contains precise details of all these characteristics. They are also summarised in the next paragraph (Standard schematic). The new Schneider-Electric devices conform to this specification.

Some devices comply with earlier specifications. The two most widespread are described in the appendices:

"Uni-Telway schematic" page 13

"Jbus schematic" page 14

Requirements enabling different types of protocol to coexist are given in the appendix:

• "Mixed schematic" page 15

Connection to RS485 bus

Standard schematic

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

The ATV31 drive conforms to this specification.

Type of trunk cable

Shielded cable with 1 twisted pair and at least a 3rd conductor

Maximum length of bus

1000 m at 19200 bps with the Schneider-Electric TSX CSAppp cable

Maximum number of stations (without repeater)

32 stations, ie. 31 slaves

Maximum length of tap links

• 20 m for one tap link

 

• 40 m divided by the number of tap links on a multiple junction box

Bus polarisation

• One 450 to 650 Ω pulldown resistor at 5 V (650 Ω recommended)

 

• One 450 to 650 Ω pulldown resistor at the Common (650 Ω recommended)

 

This polarisation is recommended for the master.

Line terminator

One 120 Ω 0.25 W resistor in series with a 1nF 10 V capacitor

Common polarity

Yes (Common), connected to the protective ground at one or more points on the bus
