Hello friends!
INVT Goodrive 20 inverter is a cheap inverter originating from China, but its quality is quite good for the city. Moreover, it is easy to use and supports RS485 Communication Port.
Today plc247.com will guide you to use PLC Mitsubishi FX5U to control INVT GD20 via Modbus RTU (RS485)

Note: Use a 120Ω terminal resistor if the communication distance is far
INVT Goodrive 20 Modbus-RTU Setting
In order for the FX5U PLC to control the INVT GD20 inverter with Modbus-RTU, we need to set the communication parameters for the inverter as below:
+ P00.01 = 2 (Communication running command)
+ P00.06 = 8 (The frequency is set by MODBUS)
+ P00.09 = 0 (Select A frequency)
+ P14.00 = 1 (Slave Number.1)
+ P14.01 = 3 (9600bps)
Registers for Control
>>> VFD Control Address = 2000 (hex)
- Set Word 2000 = 1 >>> Motor Run Forward
- Set Word 2000 = 2 >>> Motor Run Reverse
- Set Word 2000 = 5 >>> Stop
>>> Frequency Reference Address = 2001 (hex)
Registers for Monitoring
Mitsubishi FX5U Modbus RTU Configuration
We need to configure the same communication parameters as configured in the INVT GD20 Inverter

Hello, I am new to these issues with PLC, specifically with this FX5U, can I, for example, control 4 vfds of different brands at different speeds through rs485 and turn them on and off independently? I don’t need additional rs485 ports? The one that the PLC comes with is enough?
You only need 1 PLC and change the Slave Address
Can you explain the function of SM8002, SM8012 and INC in the read/write distribution
These are special addresses of FX5U
