Micrologix 1100 “Modbus RTU” DELTA MS300 Tutorial

Written by October

Hello, today plc247.com will continue Series using MicroLogix 1100 PLC which uses RS 485 port for “Modbus-RTU” communication to peripheral devices.

Today plc247.com will guide you to use Micrologix 1100 PLC to control DELTA MS300 inverter, this is a new type of inverter of Taiwan electronics company with low price but high quality.

Micrologix 1100 & DELTA MS300 “Wiring Diagram”

Below is a connection diagram between Micrologix 1100 PLC and DELTA MS300 (using Module 1763-NC01, if you don’t have one, you can connect it directly to RS232/485 port)

DELTA MS300 VFD Modbus-RTU Configuration

In order for the DELTA MS300 inverter to communicate via Modbus-RTU RS485, you need to set the following communication parameters:

  • P00.20 = 1 (Frequency Control via RS485)
  • P00.21 = 2 (Motor Control via RS485)
  • P09.00 = 1 (Address Slave = 1)
  • P09.01 = 9.6 (Baudrate = 9600bps)
  • P09.02 = 0
  • P09.03 = 1.0 (Time Com. Err)
  • P09.04 = 14 (Modbus-RTU 8/E/1)
Register for Control
Note: MicroLogix 1100 Address = “VFD Address (Dec) + 1“

+ Motor Control Address = 2000 (hex) + 1 = 8192 (dec) + 1 = 8193

  • Set Word 8193 = 18 >>> Motor Forward Run
    = 34 >>> Motor Reverse Run
    = 1 >>> Stop

+ Frequency Setting Address = 2001 (hex) + 1 = 8193 (dec) + 1 = 8194

Data Monitoring Register

+ Frequency Command = 2102 (hex) + 1 = 8450 (dec) + 1 = 8451

+ Output Frequency = 8452

+ Output Current = 8453

+ DC-BUS Voltage = 8454

+ Output Voltage = 8455
