Danfoss FC302 Registers Address for VFD Control

Note: S7-1200 Modbus Address
= “VFD Address (dec) + 400001”

  • VFD Control Address = 49999 + 400001 = 450000

+ Set Word 450000 = 1148 (dec) >>> Run Forward
= 33916 (dec) >>> Run Reverse
+ Set Word 450000 = 1084 (dec) >>> Stop
+ Set Word 450000 = 1212 (dec) >>> VFD Reset

  • Setting Speed Address = 50009 + 400001 = 450010
    Speed Reference = 0 to 16384(dec) ~ (0 to 100%)
Danfoss FC302 Registers Address for Monitoring
  • Voltage Output Address = 416120
  • Frequency Output Address = 416130
  • Current Output Address = 416140
  • Speed Output Address = 416170
