Modbus RTU for drives
Modbus RTU is a widely adopted serial communication protocol that allows efficient, master-slave data exchange between PLCs and drives. It is especially valued for its simplicity, compatibility, and performance in low-bandwidth applications.
Communication interface for automation systems
Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) means that the Modbus protocol is used on top of a serial line with an EIA-232, EIA-485 or similar physical interface. Numerous automation systems have Modbus-RTU interfaces for communication. Many of our drives offer Modbus RTU embedded as standard: ACS310, ACS335, ACS550, ACH550, ACS480, ACH480, ACS580, ACH580, ACS880 and ACQ580 drives.
In addition our offering includes different Modbus RTU adapters depending on the drive type:
- FSCA-01 is compatible with ACS580, ACQ580, ACH580, ACH480, ACS880 and ACS335 drives
