1. Before you begin  
Read and understand these instructions before performing any procedure with this drive.  
DANGER  
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE  
• Read and understand the Installation Manual before installing or operating the Altivar 71 drive. Installation, adjustment,  
repair, and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.  
• The user is responsible for compliance with all international and national electrical standards in force concerning  
protective grounding of all equipment.  
• Many parts of this variable speed drive, including the printed circuit boards, operate at the line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH.  
Use only electrically insulated tools.  
• DO NOT touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present.  
• DO NOT short across terminals PA/+ and PC/- or across the DC bus capacitors.  
• Install and close all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.  
• Before servicing the variable speed drive  
- Disconnect all power.  
- Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the variable speed drive disconnect.  
- Lock the disconnect in the open position.  
• Disconnect all power including external control power that may be present before servicing the drive. WAIT 15  
MINUTES to allow the DC bus capacitors to discharge. Then follow the DC bus voltage measurement procedure given  
in the installation manual to verify that the DC voltage is less than 45 VDC. The drive LEDs are not accurate indicators  
of the absence of DC bus voltage.  
Electric shock will result in death or serious injury.  
CAUTION

3. Introduction  
3. 1. Presentation  
The communication card (catalog number VW3 A8 303) is used to connect an Altivar 71 drive to a Uni-Telway or Modbus bus.  
This manual only describes how to use the Modbus protocol. For Uni-Telway, please refer to the Uni-Telway protocol manual.  
The data exchanges permit access to all Altivar 71 functions:  
• Configuration  
• Adjustment  
• Control and command  
• Monitoring  
• Diagnostics  
The card has a female 9-way SUB-D connector for connection to the Modbus bus.  
The connection cables and accessories should be ordered separately.  
The drive address should be configured using the switches on the card.  
The graphic display terminal or the integrated display terminal offer numerous functions for communication diagnostics.  
Note: The Modbus card supports the following services in addition to those provided by the drive’s integrated ports:  
- 2-wire and 4-wire RS485  
- Choice of line polarization  
- RTU and ASCII modes  
- More diagnostic subcodes  
- More Modbus functions (04: Read Input Registers and 11: Get Comm Event Counter)

4. 4. Switch coding  
b Choosing polarization  
Normal setting for a Modbus bus:  
• No polarization at drive level  
Special setting (see "Creating a Modbus bus using non-standard equipment" on page 44):  
• 4.7 kΩ RS485 line polarization at drive level  
b Coding the address  
The address switches are used to encode the address (1 to 247) of the drive on the bus.  
The switch settings can only be changed when the drive is turned off.  
The correspondence between the value and the position of the switch is as follows:  
• 0 = OFF = Switch in upper position  
• 1 = ON = Switch in lower position  
The address is binary-coded.  
Examples:  
Address 11 = 2#0000 1011  
Address 34 = 2#0010 0010

5. Connecting to the bus  
5. 1. Wiring recommendations  
• Use Telemecanique-approved cables and wiring accessories to ensure good transmission quality (matched impedance, immunity,  
shielding connection, etc.).  
• Keep the Modbus cable away from the power cables (30 cm minimum).  
• Be sure to cross the Modbus cable and the power cables at right angles.  
• Whenever possible, connect the bus cable shielding to the protective ground, e.g., to the ground of each device if this ground is connected  
to the protective ground.  
• Install a line terminator at both ends of the line.  
• Ensure the correct line polarization.  
• Connect the common polarity ("Common" signal) to the protective ground at one or more points on the bus.  
For more information, please refer to the TSX DG KBL E guide: "Electromagnetic compatibility of industrial networks and fieldbuses".  
5. 2. Modbus RS485 standard  
The characteristics and accessories mentioned in this section ("5. Connecting to the bus") comply with the Modbus standard.  
Other non-Modbus-standard RS485 wiring diagrams are possible. Please see the Appendix for further information.  
The latest generation of Telemecanique equipment conforms to Modbus (2-wire RS485).  
Main characteristics:  
Maximum length of bus  
1000 m at 19,200 bps  
Maximum number of stations

6. 3. Communication scanner  
The communication scanner enables all the application-relevant parameters to be grouped in 2 consecutive word tables so that single read  
and write operations may be performed. It is even possible to perform a single transaction using the "Read/Write Multiple Registers" (23 =  
16#17) function.  
The 8 output variables are assigned using the 8 [Scan.Outpaddress] (nCAp) parameters. They are configured using the graphic display  
terminal via the [1.9 - COMMUNICATION] (COM-) menu, [COM. SCANNER OUTPUT] (OCS-) submenu.  
The 8 input variables are assigned using the 8 [Scan. INp address] (nMAp) parameters. They are configured using the graphic display  
terminal via the [1.9 - COMMUNICATION] (COM-) menu, [COM. SCANNER INPUT] (ICS-) submenu.  
Enter the logic address of the parameter (see the Parameters Manual).  
If a [Scan.Outp address] (nCAp) or [Scan. INp address] (nMAp) parameter equals zero, the corresponding variable is not used by the  
drive.  
These 16 assignment parameters are described in the tables below:  
Configuration parameter name

6. 4. Communication faults  
A Modbus fault is triggered if the Modbus card does not receive any Modbus requests at its address within a predefined time period (time  
out). All Modbus request types are taken into account (read, write, etc.). The time out is fixed at 10 s (non-modifiable).  
The response of the drive in the event of a Modbus communication fault can be configured.

7. 5. Communication fault  
Modbus communication faults are indicated by the red ERR LED on the Modbus card.  
In the factory configuration, a communication fault will trigger a resettable [Com. network] (CnF) drive fault and initiate a freewheel stop.  
It is possible to change the response of the drive in the event of a Modbus communication fault (see the Configuration section).  
-
-
[Com. network] (CnF) drive fault (freewheel stop, stop on ramp, fast stop or DC injection braking stop)  
No drive fault (stop, maintain, fallback)  
The Parameters Manual contains a detailed description of how to manage communication faults (see the "Communication monitoring"  
section).  
• Following initialization (power-up), the drive checks that at least one command or reference parameter has been written for the first time  
by Modbus.  
• Then, if a communication fault occurs on Modbus, the drive will react according to the configuration (fault, maintain, fallback, etc.).  
7. 6. Card fault  
The [internal com. link] (ILF) fault appears when the following serious problems occur:  
-
-
Hardware fault on the Modbus card  
Dialog fault between the Modbus card and the drive  
The response of the drive in the event of an [internal com. link] (ILF) fault cannot be configured, and the drive trips with a freewheel stop.  
This fault cannot be reset.  
Two diagnostic parameters can be used to obtain more detailed information about the origin of the [internal com. link] (ILF) fault:  
-
-
[Internal link fault 1] (ILF1) if the fault has occurred on option card no. 1 (installed directly on the drive)  
[Internal link fault 2] (ILF2) if the fault has occurred on option card no. 2 (installed on option card no. 1)  
The Modbus card can be in position 1 or 2.  
The [Internal link fault 1] (ILF1) and [Internal link fault 2] (ILF2) parameters can only be accessed on the graphic display terminal in  
the [1.10 DIAGNOSTICS] (DGt-) menu, [MORE FAULT INFO] (AFI-) submenu.

8. Modbus protocol  
8. 1. Principle  
The Modbus protocol is a master-slave protocol.  
Only one device can transmit on the line at any one time.  
The master manages the exchanges and only it can take the initiative.  
It interrogates each of the slaves in succession.  
No slave can send a message unless it is invited to do so.  
Master  
In the event of an error during data exchange, the master repeats the question and declares the interrogated  
slave absent if no response is received within a given time period.  
If a slave does not understand a message, it sends an exception response to the master.  
The master may or may not repeat the request.  
Slave j  
Slave k  
Slave i  
Direct slave-to-slave communications are not possible.  
For slave-to-slave communication, the master’s application software must therefore be designed to interrogate one slave and send back  
data received to the other slave.  
Two types of dialog are possible between master and slaves:  
• The master sends a request to a slave and waits for it to respond.  
• The master sends a request to all slaves without waiting for them to respond (broadcasting principle).  
Note: The Modbus server on the "Controller Inside" card cannot be accessed via the Modbus card.

8. 2. Modes  
b RTU mode  
The Modbus RTU frame contains no message header byte, nor end of message bytes.  
It is defined as follows:  
Slave address  
Function code  
Data  
CRC16  
The data is transmitted in binary code.  
CRC16: Cyclic redundancy check parameter.  
The end of the frame is detected on a silence greater than or equal to 3.5 characters.  
The format used for the frames in the rest of this document is RTU mode.  
b ASCII mode  
The structure of the Modbus ASCII frame is as follows:  
Header  
":"  
Slave  
address  
Function  
code  
Data  
LRC  
End  
Hi  
Lo  
"CR"  
"LF"  
Header: By default, ":" = 16#3A. Two other characters are possible: "CR" = 16#0D and "LF" = 16#0A.  
LRC: The 2's-complement of the modulo 256 sum (in hexadecimal format) of the frame (excluding the header and end characters) before  
ASCII coding.  
Example: Write a value of 10 to logic address word 9001 (16#2329) on slave 2

The total response size given in this example equals 55 bytes.  
The response contains the following four objects:  
• Object no. 1: Manufacturer name (always "Telemecanique", i.e., 13 bytes).  
• Object no. 2: Device catalog number (ASCII string; for example: “ATV71HU15M3”, i.e., 11 bytes).  
The length of this object varies according to drive type. Use the “Length of object no. 2” field to determine the length.  
• Object no. 3: Device version, in "MMmm" format where "MM" represents the determinant and "mm" the subdeterminant (4-byte  
ASCII string; for example: "0201" for version 2.1).  
• Object no. 4: Device name (ASCII string; for example: "MACHINE 4", i.e., 9 bytes).  
The length of this object varies according to the device name assigned to the drive (the latter being configured by  
the user): [7. DISPLAY CONFIG.] menu, [7.1 USER PARAMETERS] submenu, [DEVICE NAME] parameter.  
This menu can only be accessed in Expert mode.

8. 11. Communication scanner  
The communication scanner can be used to enhance application performance. The drive automatically copies non-contiguous parameters  
to an input table and an output table. Thus, the copy of several non-contiguous parameters can be read or written in a single request (an  
operation which would normally have required several Modbus requests).  
The input table and the output table each contain 8 variables.

The values of these communication scanner variables can be displayed on the graphic display terminal using the  
[1.2-MONITORING] menu, [COMMUNICATION MAP] (CMM) submenu (see section "7. Diagnostics - 7.4 Communication scanner").  
These parameters can be accessed via all the read and write requests supported by the drive.

8. 13. Read non-existent or protected parameters  
If a set of parameters is read using a Modbus function, the value returned for non-existent and protected parameters is equal to 16#8000.  
If the same Modbus function is used to read parameters, all of which are non-existent or protected, the drive sends back an exception  
response with an error code equal to 2.  
Example of non-existent or protected parameters being read:  
In this example, the same request to read a non-existent parameter followed by 2 existing parameters is used several times in a row in order  
to demonstrate the effects of parameter protection.  
The "Read Holding Registers" request (3) is addressed to a drive with a Modbus address of 12 (16#0C). The read operation is performed  
for 3 consecutive words, starting with address 8400.

9. Appendix  
9. 1. RS485 standard  
The RS485 standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A-1998) allows variants of certain characteristics:  
• Polarization  
• Line termination  
• Distribution of a reference potential  
• Number of slaves  
• Length of bus  
It does not specify the connector type or pinout.  
summarized in the next sections (Modbus 2-wire and 4-wire standard schematics). The latest generation Telemecanique devices  
(Altivar 31, Altivar 71, etc.) conform to this specification.  
Older devices comply with earlier specifications. The two most widespread are described in the following sections:  
• "Uni-Telway schematic" page 42  
• "Jbus schematic" page 43  
Requirements enabling different types of protocol to coexist are given in the following section in this appendix:  
• "Creating a Modbus bus using non-standard equipment" on page 45

M If the Modbus bus is created using the latest-generation Telemecanique devices and Telemecanique Modbus wiring accessories,  
installation is simple and no calculation is required (see the section entitled "Connecting to the bus").  
M If a new Modbus bus has to be created using devices of different brands or older-generation devices, which do not comply with the  
Modbus standard, several checks are required (see "Recommendations" below).  
M If, on an existing Modbus bus, a device with 4.7 kΩ polarization is to be replaced by a new-generation device, set the 2 polarization  
switches to the lower position to activate the card’s 4.7 kΩ polarization.  
Polarization switches:  
4.7 kΩ RS485 line polarization at drive level  
b Recommendations  
1. Identify the polarities D0 and D1.  
They are labeled in different ways depending on the standard:  
Standard  
Modbus  
EIA/TIA-485  
(RS 485)  
Uni-Telway  
Jbus  
D0  
A/A’  
B/B’  
C/C’

D (B)  
0VL  
RD +/TD + or L +  
RD -/TD - or L -  
Signals  
D1

However, certain RS485 electronic components are labeled in the opposite way to the EIA/TIA-485 standard.  
It may be necessary to perform a test by connecting a master to a slave, then reversing the connection in the event of failure.  
2. Check polarizations  
Check the documentation supplied with the devices to determine their polarization.  
If there is a polarization, check that the equivalent polarization value is correct (see "Calculating the polarization").  
It is not always possible to implement correct polarization (for example, if the 5 V is not available on the master).  
In this case, it may be necessary to limit the number of slaves.  
3. Choose a line terminator  
If there is a polarization, select an RC line terminator (R = 120 Ω, C = 1 nF)  
If it is not possible to install a polarization, select an R line terminator (R = 150 Ω).

b Calculating the polarization  
M Principle  
You must ensure that the equivalent bus resistance is between 162 Ω and 650 Ω.  
The equivalent bus resistance (Re) depends on the polarization resistance of the slaves (Rs) and the master (Rm):

1

1
------- = --------- + --------- + --------- + …  
Re Rm Rs1 Rs2  
If Re is too low, reduce the number of slaves.  
If Re is too high, adapt the master’s polarization (if possible) or add polarization resistors (Rp).

Example 1  
If the master has 470 Ω polarization and all the slaves have 4.7 kΩ polarization, a maximum of 18 slaves can be connected.  
Rm = 470 Ω  
Rs = 4.7 kΩ  
A/Re = 1/470 + 18 x 1/4700  
i.e., Re = 168 Ω  
Example 2  
If the bus polarization Rp is 470 Ω (installed in the master) and 2 slaves have 4.7 Ω polarization, the equivalent polarization is:  
1/Re = 1/470 + 1/4700 + 1/4700  
i.e., Re = 1/ (1/470 + 1/4700 + 1/4700)  
and therefore Re = 390 Ω  
390 Ω is between 162 Ω and 650 Ω, and the schematic is correct.  
For an ideal equivalent polarization (650 Ω), the master’s polarization can be adapted so that:  
1/650 = 1/Rm + 1/4700 + 1/4700  
i.e., Rm = 1/(1/650 - 1/4700 - 1/4700)  
and therefore Rm = 587 Ω
