MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
1MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Below are the main characteristics for communication of the soft-starter SSW900 with Anybus Modbus TCP accessory.
The interface follows the Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX standard.
It allows communication using the 10 or 100 Mbps rates in half or full duplex mode.
It has a built-in, two-port Ethernet switch.
The Ethernet ports work with Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover), a technology which
automatically detects the type of cable used and configures the connection accordingly, eliminating the need of
cross-over cables.
Operates as Modbus TCP server.
The server provides up to 4 simultaneous Modbus TCP connections.
Allows data communication for equipment operation and parameterization.

INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
2INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
The SSW900 soft-starter has two Slots for accessories (Figura 2.1). Parameters S3.5.1 and S3.5.2 present which
accessory was recognized by Slot.
The accessories can be connected to any Slot, but only one type of each communication accessory is allowed. The
Anybus-CC communication accessories (regardless of the protocol implanted) are identified on these parameters as
Anybus-CC.
Read the user’s manual of the SSW900 soft-starter before installing or using this accessory.

2.2CONNECTORS
The accessory for Modbus TCP communication has two RJ45 connectors for network connection. The connector pin
out follows the Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX standard, using two pairs of cables for data transmission and reception.

INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
The housings of the Ethernet connectors, which are normally connected to the cable shield, have connections between themselves and to the protective earth via an RC circuit.
2.3INDICATION LEDS
The Modbus TCP accessory has a Link LED indicator in each Ethernet connector (Ê and Ë), and two LEDs for state
indication, one for the communication module (MS) and another for the network (NS). These LEDs have the following
functions and indications.

MODBUS TCP NETWORK INSTALLATION
3MODBUS TCP NETWORK INSTALLATION
This chapter presents recommendations related to equipment installation in an Modbus TCP network.
3.1IP ADDRESS
Every equipment in an Ethernet network needs an IP address and subnet mask.
The IP addressing is unique in the network, and each equipment must have a different IP. The subnet mask is used
to define which IP address range is valid in the network.
The SSW900 soft-starter allows the use of two methods for programming these features, programmable via C8.3.4:
Parameters: uses the configurations of IP address, mask and gateway as programmed on equipment parameters.
DHCP: enable the configuration of the SSW900 via DHCP server. The DHCP can automatically assign IP ad-
dresses, subnet mask, etc. to the devices on the network. The configurations performed via parameters are
disregarded.
NOTE!
✓
After changing these properties, for the changes to take effect, the equipment must be turned off and
on again, or requesting the settings update via C8.3.1.
3.2COMMUNICATION RATE
The Ethernet interfaces of the SSW900 soft-starter can communicate using the 10 or 100 Mbps rates in half or full
duplex mode.
NOTE!
✓
It is important that, for each Ethernet connection made between two points, the baud rate and the
duplex mode are set to the same option. If the option AUTO is used in one of the points, you must set
the other point also to AUTO, or to half duplex mode.
3.3CABLE
Recommended characteristics for the cable:
Standard Ethernet cable, 100Base-TX (FastEthernet), CAT 5e or higher.
Shielded cable.
Maximum length between devices: 100 m.
For installation, it is recommended the use of shielded Ethernet cables specific for use in industrial environment.
3.4NETWORK TOPOLOGY
To connect SSW900 soft-starter in an Modbus TCP network, usually the star connection is made using an industrial
switch.
SSW900 | 10
MODBUS TCP NETWORK INSTALLATION
Figure 3.1: Star topology
It is also possible to make the connection in daisy chain, allowing a topology equivalent to a bus.
Figure 3.2: Daisy chain topology
NOTE!
✓
When the equipment is turned off, the built-in switch is also deactivated, preventing communication
with the subsequent equipment.
3.5RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GROUNDING CONNECTION AND CABLE ROUTING
The correct connection with the ground decreases problems caused by interference in an industrial environment. The
following are some recommendations about grounding and cable routing:
Always use shielded twisted pair Ethernet cables and connectors with metallic housing.
Connect the equipment grounding via grounding terminal. Avoid the cable connection on multiple grounding
points, especially where there are grounds with different potentials.
Pass signal cables and communication cables in dedicated pathways. Prevent laying these cables next to power
cables.
