In previous posts, plc247.com guided you through the basic installation and use of some PLC/HMI to control the PowerFlex525 Inverter.
Today I would like to continue to write a tutorial for you to use a very cheap but high quality PLC that is the DELTA DVP14SS2 PLC to control the PowerFlex525 inverter via the Modbus-RTU RS485 Communication Standard.

PowerFlex 525 Modbus-RTU Parameters Setting
In addition to the basic parameters of the inverter installed according to the motor (Frequency, Voltage, Current), we need to set the communication parameters as follows:
Register Control Address
>>> Motor Control Address = 2000 (Hex)
+ Set Word 2000 = 18 >>> Forward Run
= 34 >>> Reverse Run
= 1 >>> Stop
= 8 >>> VFD Fault Reset
>>> Motor Frequency Address = 2001 (Hex)
Register Monitoring Address
