Hello friends, Modbus-RTU is a standard that has been around for a long time but is still widely used today in many machines and factories.
The advantages of Modbus-RTU are low cost, control of up to 32 stations with only one Master, large communication distance (up to 1200m).
Today plc247.com will guide you to control Mitsubishi FR-E720 inverter by KEYENCE PLC (KV-L21V module) via Modbus-RTU (RS485-2 wire) communication.
