MicroLogix 1100 & Danfoss FC302 “Wiring Diagram”

Danfoss FC302 Modbus RTU Configuration

In addition to the basic parameters of the inverter, we need to set the communication parameters as shown in the table below to be able to control Danfoss FC302 with Modbus RTU

FC302 Registers Address
Note: MicroLogix 1100 Address = “VFD Address (Dec) + 1

>>> VFD Control Address = 49999 + 1 = 50000

  • Set Word 50000 = 1148 (dec) >>> Run Forward
    = 33916 (dec) >>> Run Reverse
  • Set Word 50000 = 1084 (dec) >>> Stop
  • Set Word 50000 = 1212 (dec) >>> VFD Reset

>>> VFD Speed Setting Address = 50009 + 1 = 50010
Setting Reference = 0 to 16384(dec) ~ (0 to 100%)

>>> Output Voltage Address = 16120

>>> Output Frequency Address = 16130

>>> Output Current Address = 16140

>>> Output Speed Address = 16170

MicroLogix PLC Modbus-RTU Setting

We need to set the communication parameters of the PLC to be the same as those installed in the Danfoss FC302 VFD
