Mod_MB_VFD
Checks serial communications in Modbus Master protocol for VFD devices
Application:
Mod_MB_VFD accesses all status variables and parameters in VFD devices (Variable Frequency Driver) via serial line with
Modbus Master protocol. Some main configuration parameters are in the mask and the user can edit them in remote. Access to
any VFD parameter is permitted via its Modbus address (refer to manual NXL Frequency Converter - Functions and Parameters
+030220726 updated version available on the CAREL website).
Technical features
1tool >= 2.6.57 -
BIOS >= 4.23 -
>= 5.08 to use two Modbus

protocol serial ports
Compatibility - -
with other
modules
Devices all pCO controllers -
Firmware - -
Password no -
Protocols Modbus Master Modbus protocol manages 42 sublists addressed with 32 bit pointers.
NOTE: Modbus Master service is set up by the developer

(baudrate, stop bit, etc) using the Mod_MB_Protocol_Mng
module that initializes and starts the service.
Terminals pGD1 (6 keys) Italian, English
General operations
Mod_MB_VFD can only access the device via serial line with Modbus Master protocol if all these conditions are true:
 System variables COM_PROTOCOL_XXX (serial port protocol) and COM_BAUDRATE_XXX (serial communications speed)
were initialized to use Modbus Master protocol. To use Modbus Master protocol on two serial ports simultaneously, set
protocol type 28 on both ports, otherwise the system will return an error. To use Modbus Master protocol on only one
serial port, set either protocol 21 or 28 indifferently.
 The Modbus Master protocol was started by the Mod_MB_Protocol_Mng module
file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/CAREL/1tool/Help/EN/mergedProjects/1toolLibrar... 28.12.2022
Mod_MB_VFD Page 2 of 2
 En_VFD = 1 (module enabled to operate)
 En_Msk_VFD = 1 (device enabled from mask)
Mod_MB_VFD acquires and displays VFD device status variables and internal parameters. Access to main configuration
parameters for editing is permitted from the Configuration and Parameter menus (see mask section). In mask m_Config_Vfd_8,
the user can display/edit any internal VFD parameter by selecting it via its Modbus address (refer to manual NXL Frequency
Converter - Functions and Parameters +030220726 updated version available on the CAREL website).
VFD parameters can be initialized to default parameters using the specific mask parameter m_Config_Vfd_1. This operation is
only possible if serial communications are active.
Enabling the module

To enable the module, set En_VFD = 1 and En_Msk_VFD = 1.

Mod_MB_VFD: use example
In this example, the communications service in Modbus Master protocol is assigned to serial port 2 (FieldBus) with 19200
bit/second communications speed. The Mod_MB_Protocol_Mng initializes and starts the service and, therefore, it is unique to all
devices in the Modbus network.
The Mod_MB_VFD module lets you access the VFD device with serial address VFD_Address1. In this example, the VFD on/off
status corresponds to the unit On/Off status (Syson), while the VFD request (Require_VFD) is provided by pCO analog input 1.
