IMPORTANT! To access parameters in a drive menu (not a slot menu), a Modbus Unit Identifier must be used and set to either 0 or 255 from the master device. The Modbus addressing method is chosen using Pr. 4.15.013. Default is ""0"" for Standard Addressing. Change Pr. 4.15.013 to ""1"" to use Modified Addressing. Use Modified mode when accessing parameter numbers that are greater than ""99"" within their menu. To access parameters in drive slots 1, 2 or 3 you must change the Modbus Unit Identifier to match the Slot Number. For example: To access a parameter in slot #3, change the Modbus Unit Identifier to ""3"". Option Slot parameters are addressed using Standard mode only.(4.15.013 = 0/Standard). See table below for parameter mapping examples, note the addressing differences between 16-bit and 32-bit parameters. We recommend acquiring a CT-USB-CABLE to communicate or go online with the drive via a serial link. If your selected drive Commander C or Unidrive M) does not already have an RS485 communication port,you may also need to purchase a AI-485 Adapter. The best place to find this information is on our Control Techniques website, please follow the link below: Control Techniques Option Modules: https://acim.nidec.com/en-us/drives/control-techniques/products/options-and- accessories
