Sources and notes

Source: Danfoss, "Modbus RTU Operating Instruction", MG92B102 (FC series, software 6.4x) and "VLT AutomationDrive FC 301/FC 302 Programming Guide", AU275636650261en-003201 (2024.09, software 9.5x and 48.96)

  • The register scheme is the one of the FC 102 map: the holding register of parameter x-yy is 10 times its number (3-41 is register 3410, 16-14 is register 16140, 8-30 is register 8300). The guide counts registers from 1 and the bus address is one less, so this map uses address_base 1.
  • Control word, bus reference, status word and main actual value are registers 50000, 50010, 50200 and 50210; the PCD blocks at 2810 and 2910 start with the same words. Registers 2812 to 2873 and 2912 to 2973 hold parameters chosen in 8-42 and 8-43 and are not in this map.
  • Array parameters (3-10, 15-30) need the index in register 9 first. A 32-bit parameter uses two registers, high word first.
  • Coil 65 chooses whether written parameters go to RAM only (0) or to RAM and EEPROM (1). The control word, reference, status word and output frequency are also coils 1 to 64; they are not in this map.
  • To enable Modbus: 8-30 Protocol = Modbus RTU, 8-31 Address 1 to 247, 8-32 baud rate, 8-33 parity (even parity with 1 stop bit by default). The Modbus guide lists 2400 to 19200 baud, the Programming Guide 2400 to 115200; all of them are in the table. The default baud rate is not stated for Modbus; 9600 is a placeholder.
  • The Modbus RTU Operating Instruction describes the whole FC series (software 6.4x) and does not name the FC 302; the Programming Guide for software 9.5x and 48.96 is used for the parameter sizes and scaling. The FC 301 shares this guide and scheme but is not listed as a model.
  • Parameters whose conversion index is one of the special values 67, 74, 75 or 100 (speed in RPM, hours, kWh counter, temperatures) and the power in kW 16-10 are left out because the guide does not explain how to scale them. Text parameters are limited to the serial number.
  • Written from the manufacturer's documents; not tested on a device.
