Hello everyone. Mitsubishi FR-E700 Series inverter is an extremely popular inverter in the world with the advantages of high quality, compact size and low price.
Today plc247.com would like to share with you the detailed connections of Siemens S7-1200 PLC (combined with CB 1241 RS485 module) to control the FR-E720 inverter via Modbus-RTU communication
S7-1200 & FR-E720 Wiring Diagram

FR-E720 Parameter Configuration
The communication parameters to be able to communicate with Modbus-RTU are in the table below:

You set according to the following parameters:
- Pr117: = 1
- Pr118: = 3
- Pr119: = 0
- Pr120: = 2
- Pr121: = 9999
- Pr122: = 9999
- Pr123: = 9999
- Pr124: = 1
- Pr340: = 1
- Pr549: = 1
- Pr79: = 2 ( Last Setting )
Modbus_Register_Address

Looking at the table above we can see:
+ Setting Frequency = 40014 (dec)
+ Motor Control Address = 40009 (dec)
- Forward Run – Set 40009 = 0000.0000.0000.0010 = 2
- Reverse Run – Set 40009 = 0000.0000.0000.0100 = 4
- Stop command – Set 40009 = 0000.0000.0000.0000 = 0
Data Output Monitor

In the plc247.com project read 3 consecutive registers including: 40201, 40202, 40203
>>> Starting address = 40201 (dec) / Leght bit = 3
