1. GENERAL

Vacon frequency converters can be connected to the Modbus by using the fieldbus board. The converter
can then be controlled, monitored and programmed from the Host system.

The used I/O can be also extended with the Fieldbus board:

• 4 digital inputs (standard signals)

• 4 digital outputs (standard signals)

• Thermistor input (can be directly connected to the motor thermistors for overtemperature trip)

• Encoder input

The Fieldbus board can be installed into the already existing place of the option board inside the frequency
converter.

The control connections are isolated from the mains potential and I/O ground is connected to the frame of
the device via a 1 MΩ resistor and 4.7 nF capacitor*. The control I/O ground can be connected also
directly to the frame by changing the position of the jumper X9 (GND ON/OFF) to ON-position. Digital
inputs and digital outputs are also isolated from the I/O ground.

NOTE !

Internal components and circuit boards (except for the isolated I/O terminals) are at mains
potential when the frequency converter is connected to the mains. This voltage is extremely
dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if you come in contact with it.

The control I/O terminals are isolated from the mains potential, but the I/Os (if jumper X9 is in
OFF position) may have dangerous voltage connected even if the power is off on the frequency
converter.

* Default value (X9 is GND OFF- position)

3. MODBUS

3.1 General

The MODBUS protocol is an industrial communications and distributed control system to integrate PLCs,
computers, terminals, and other monitoring, sensing, and control devices. MODBUS is a Master-Slave
communications protocol. The Master controls all serial activity by selectively polling one or more slave
devices. The protocol provides for one master device and up to 247 slave devices on a common line.
Each device is assigned an address to distinguish it from all other connected devices.

The MODBUS protocol uses the master-slave technique, in which only one device (the master) can initiate
a transaction. The other devices (the slaves) respond by supplying the request data to the master, or by
taking the action requested in the query. The master can address individual slaves or initiate a broadcast
message to all slaves. Slaves return a message (‘response’) to queries that are addressed to them
individually. Responses are not returned to broadcast queries from the master.

A transaction comprises a single query and single response frame or a single broadcast frame. The
transaction frames are defined below.

3.2 Modbus frames

Two modes of transmission are available for use in a MODBUS system. The modes are ASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange), and RTU, (Remote Terminal Unit.). The Fieldbus board uses

only RTU mode.

The format for each byte in RTU mode:
Coding system: 8-bit binary, hexadecimal 0-9, A-F

Two hexadecimal characters contained in each 8-bit field of the message.

Bits per Byte: 1 start bit

8 data bits, least significant bit sent first
1 bit for even/odd parity, no bit for no parity

1 stop bit if parity is used; 2 bits if no parity
Error Check Field: Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC)
In RTU mode, messages start and end with a silent 3.5 characters times (T1-T2-T3-T4). The entire

message frame must be transmitted as a continuous stream. A typical message frame is shown below.

Start Address Function Data CRC Check End
T1-T2-T3-T4 8 bits 8 bits n*8bits 16 bits T1-T2-T3-T4

The individual slave devices are assigned addresses in the range of 1 - 247. Address 0 is used for the
broadcast address, which all slave devices recognize.

3.3 Modbus functions

The Function Code field tells the addressed slave what function to perform. The following table lists those
functions supported by the Fieldbus board:

Code Name Meaning of Fieldbus board

01 READ COIL STATUS Read Control bits
02 READ INPUT STATUS Read Status bits
03 READ HOLDING REGISTER Read VACON parameter
04 READ INPUT REGISTER Read VACON variable
05 FORCE SINGLE COIL Write Control bits
06 PRESET SINGLE REGISTER Write VACON parameter
08 DIAGNOSTICS Test and checking of the communication system

3.4 Error detection

Communications errors usually consist of a changed bit or bits within a message. Communications errors
are detected by character framing, a parity check, and a redundancy check.

The MODBUS system provides several levels of error checking to assure the quality of the data
transmission. To detect multibit errors where the parity has not changed, the system uses redundancy
checks: Cyclical Redundancy Check, (CRC), for the RTU mode and Longitudinal Redundancy Check,
(LRC), for the ASCII mode. The Fieldbus board uses only RTU mode.

3.5 Exception responses

If the slave receives the query without a communication error, but cannot handle it, the slave will return an
exception response informing the master of the nature of the error. The exception response codes are
listed below.

Code Name Description
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The message function requested is not recognized by the

slave.

02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The received data address is not an allowable address for

the slave.

03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE The received data value is not an allowable value for the

slave.

04 SLAVE DEVICE ERROR An unrecoverable error occurred while the slave was

attempting to perform the requested action,

06 SLAVE DEVICE BUSY The message was received without error, but the slave was

engaged in processing a long duration program command

In an exception response, the slave sets a most-significant bit (MSB) of the function code to 1. The slave
returns an exception code in the data field.

4. INSTALLATION

NOTE! These instructions apply if you have received the Modbus board as an accessory.
Otherwise the board has already been installed for you at the factory.

Before starting the commissioning, carefully read the safety instructions from the "User's manual
CX/CXL/CXS frequency converter" chapter 2. Check that you have got all the Fieldbus board parts:
Fieldbus board, plastic board, power cable (black terminal), data cable (blue terminal) and earthing screw.
Fieldbus board can be installed into the already existing place of the option board inside the frequency
converter (see figure 4-1).

A

Remove the control panel and jumper X4 from the control board (1).

B

Install the power cable into the control board terminal X5 (2) and data cable to terminal X14
(3). Power cable can also be installed into terminal X6, if the power cable from the power
board is connected to terminal X5.

C

Bend the data cable to an "S-curve" as far as possible from the power board transformer (4)
before you place the plastic board onto the control board.

D

Remove the protection foil of the plastic board and install the plastic board onto the control
board. Check the right position of the plastic board (5).

E

Place the Fieldbus board onto the plastic board by the larger holes and push it downwards so
that the narrow part of the hole in the board fits the cut on the sleeve. Check that the
installation is stable. If you have difficulties placing the plastic board and Fieldbus board,
slightly bend regulator A4 (6) and capacitor C59 (7) of the control board.

F

Install the power cable to the terminal X1 of the Fieldbus board (8)and data cable to terminal
X4 (9).

G

Install the jumper you removed from terminal X4 of the control board, into terminal X9 of the
Fieldbus board (10) in ON or OFF position.

H

If the packet includes the cable cover (11), install that into position shown in figure 4-1.

I

Install the earthing screw (12).

J

After this, install the control panel and connect the needed control signals.

K

If the the Modbus line ends at the Fieldbus board, install the jumper to terminal X12 (see figure
5-1) of the Fieldbus board.

L

If you use a 5 V encoder input, install the jumper to terminal X7 see figure 5-1) of the Fieldbus
board.

7.5 Installation of CX211OPT in Vacon CXS drives

NOTE: The option boards on the pictures may not look exactly the same as the one you have purchased.
These instructions are, still, applicable.

A

Remove the control panel and the panel base.

B

Remove the fixing screw from the control
board and replace it with a stand sleeve (4).

C

Connect the power cable (5) to terminal X5 of
the control board. The power cable can also
be connected to terminal X6 if terminal X5 is
already reserved by the power cable from the
power board.

D

Remove the protective foil of the plastic board
and place the plastic board above the control
board. Be sure to place the plastic board
correctly so that the stand sleeve (4) comes
out through the hole on the board.

E

Place the board on the protective plastic
board (6) and connect the data cable (2) to
terminal X14 of the control board. The stand
sleeve should come out through the metal­edged hole.

F

Secure the board on the stand sleeve with
the screw (3) attached.
