Many people have messaged plc247.com to ask how to use LabView to communicate with devices via Modbus RTU using RS485 communication. That’s why today plc247.com will write a tutorial for you to do this.
The first inverter I used was the Allen Bradley PowerFlex 525 Inverter. Attention, we need to prepare 1 USB to RS485 Cable.
