To be able to control Schneider ATV312 with Modbus RTU, we need to set the following parameters

+ “COM” Menu

• Add = 1 (Slave No.1)
• tbr = 9.6 (baudrate)
• tF0 = 8E1 (Communication Config)
• tt0 = 3.0 (timer Com. error check)

+ “CtL” Menu

• LAC = L3
• Fr1 = Mdb (Modbus)
• Fr2 = Mdb
• CHCF = SEP
• Cd1 = Mdb
• Cd2 = Mdb

Schneider ATV312 Registers for Control

>>> VFD Control Address = 8501 (decimal) = 2135 (hexa)

+ Set Word 2135 (hex) = 128 >>> System Reset
= 6 >>> System Start
= 15 >>> Forward Run
= 2063 >>> Reverse Run
= 4111 >>> Stop

>>> VFD Frequency Reference Address = 8502 (decimal) = 2136 (hexa)
