Today plc247.com will guide you to use PLC S7-1200 to connect and control Danfoss FC302 via Modbus RTU (RS485).

Siemens S7-1200 & Danfoss FC51 “Wiring Diagram”

With S7-1200 we need to use more RS485 Module: S7-1200 CB1241 (or S7-1200 CM1241), and with Danfoss FC51 inverter, it has a built-in RS485 Port.

Danfoss FC51 Modbus RTU Configuration

To be able to control Danfoss FC51 with Modbus RTU, we need to configure the following parameters

Danfoss FC51 Registers for Control

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

>>> VFD Control Address = 49999 + 400001 = 450000

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

>>> VFD Frequency Setting Address = 50009 + 400001 = 450010

• Speed Reference = 0 to 16384(dec) ~ (0 to 100%)

Danfoss FC51 Registers for Monitoring

• Output Voltage Address = 416120 (dec)

• Output Frequency Address = 416130 (dec)

• Output Current Address = 416140 (dec)
