1.3 PRELIMINARY
RECOMMENDATIONS
DANGER!
Only qualified personnel should plan or implement the
installation, startup, operation and maintenance of serial
interfaces.
Read this manual before attempt any installation and
operation of the Soft-Starter by following ca refully all safety
notices here indicated.
Please follow the safety instructions indicated in this Manual,
in the Soft-Starter Manual and/or defined by local
regulations.
If personnel injuries or equipment damages can occurs due
to motors driven by motor starters, please provide always the
required electromechanical safety devices.
If remote control (via serial interface) is used, please take all
required precautions to avoid personnel injuries and
machine and installations damages.
Failure to comply with these instruction may result in
personnel injury and/or equipment damage.
DANGER!
Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply
before open it.
ATTENTION!
The electronic boards are fitted with components sensitive to
electrostatic discharges. Never touch any electrical
component or connector directly. If necessary to do so, touch
before the properly grounded metallic frame or use a suitable
ground strap.
NOTE!
In general, communication networks are sensitive to
interference generated by other equipment. In this case,
please follow all recommended instructions.

2.1 ABOUT THIS
MANUAL
This Manual describes how to install, start-up, operate and
identify problems related do the serial interface of WEG Soft Starters.

NOTE!
If you need information or services, please make available
following data:
þ model of WEG product;
þ serial number and manufacturing date as indicated on
WEG product nameplate;
þversion of installed software.
2.2 ABOUT WEG
PROTOCOL
The main purpose of the serial network communication is
the physical connection of several equipment to one or more
masters connected to this network through only one or two
pair of wires:

WEG Soft-Starters are fitted with control software for the
transmission/reception of data through the serial interface to
enable the data reception sent by the master and the data
sending requested by the same.
2 INTRODUCTION

The transfer rate is 9.600Bps, following an exchange
protocol, type question/answer, meeting ISO 1745 standard
for the data transmission in code.
The master is able to realize the following operations related
to each WEG equipment connected to the network:
þIdentification:
• Network number;
• Soft-Starter type (model);
• Software version.
þ Commands:
• general enabling/disabling;
• error reset.
þ Status Recognition:
• enabling/disabling;
• in acceleration;
• at rated voltage;
• in deceleration;
• in error.
þParameter Reading or Changing.
Typical examples of WEG network use:
• Supervisory monitoring at the same time several variables
of WEG Soft-Starters;
• PLC controlling the operation of several WEG SoftStarters WEG in an industrial process.
NOTE!
WEG protocol is the same for all WEG equipment, but the
logic command words, the basic variables and the
parameters can differ among equipment.

RS-485
COMMUNICATION INTERFACES 3
3.1 RS-485 INTERFACE
The physical connection between WEG Soft-Starters is
performed according to one of the standards below:
þ RS-232 point to point, up to 10m (32.8 ft);
þ RS-485 multipoint, with the use of the MIW-02 serial
interface module, with galvanic insulation, up to 1000m
(3280 ft).
For the serial communication of the Soft-Starters at WEG
network.
WEG Network
þ The interface allows the interconnection of up to 30 WEG
Soft-Starters to one master, attributing to each WEG
equipment one address (1 to 30) that has to be set.
þIn addition to these 30 addresses, two additional
addresses are at disposal to perform special tasks:
• Address 0: all WEG Soft-Starters are inquired,
independently of its address. On order to prevent shortcircuits in the interface lines, only one Soft-Starter can be
connected to the network (point-to-point).
• Address 31: a command can be transmitted to all SoftStarters on the network simultaneously, without
acceptance recognition.

þ The connection between the network participants is
realized through a pair of wire.
þThe signal levels are according to EIA STANDARD RS -
485 with differential receivers and transmitters.
NOTE!
WEG SSW-05 Soft-Starter is only fitted with the RS-232
serial interface, thus requiring the use of a MIW-02 serial
interface module, when a RS-485 serial interface is applied.
Module Item WEG
MIW-02 417100543
NOTE!
If master is fitted with only one RS-232 standard serial
interface, you have to apply the serial MIW-02 interface
module, RS-232/RS-485, if fitted with RTS signal, Request
To Send. If the Master is not fitted with the RTS signal, you
must apply a module that is able to generate the RTS signal.
