(forward and reverse operation ) are selectable.
In accordance with POWER ELECTRONICS policy

1.2 UNPACKING

Unpack the PED START and inspect it for any

physical damage that might have occured in
shipment .
Check that the starter's rating comply with the
starter's nominal current with mains and control
voltage.
In the event of damage , please contact your
local distributor.

1.3 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The PED START should be mounted in an

electrical cabinet.
it is recommended to mount the PED START
directly on a metalic plate , to improve heat
dissipation.
In order to ensure sufficient heat dissipation ,
the PED START must be mounted vertically (fans
at the bottom) , leaving 10 cm of free space
around it.
Verify that the PED START surrounding
environment is free of liquids, dust, or corrosive
fumes.

5.0 COMMUNICATION

It’s possible to connect the PED-start to a network,

using the modbus protocol with RTU (Remote Terminal Unit)
transmission mode.
The connection is based on RS-232 serial interface, and to avoid
communication errors it’s necessary to match the baud rate and
the parity of the PED to the transmmision device.
Each byte the PED sent consists of a strream of bits.
The bit sequence without parity checking is described below:
1 - extra stop bit

start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 stop stop

The bit sequence with parity checking is described below:

start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 parity stop

Example 1: HOW TO SET THE COMMUNICATION VALUE

To set the PED to use baud rate 9600 bps. and odd parity on
52 screen, select the option YES and on 54 screen set to 1 by
pushing simultaneously the ENTER and .

On modbus network each device has an indentification no. and

when the transmmision device sends a message to the device
on the network - the first byte it sent is the ID no.
All the devices on the network get this byte, but only the device
that has the same ID no. knows that this message belogs to it,
and all other devices on the network will ignore this message.

Example 2: HOW TO SET THE ID No. OF THE PED

On screen 55 push simultaneously the ENTER and , until
you reach the value that you want (the value is a decimal no.).

5.1 FUNCTION CODE

The PED-start supports funcion codes 04, 06 of the modbus

protocol. These codes are available only when the PED is on
stand by mode or on fault mode. On all other states the PED
ignores the messages that the transmission device sends.
Funcion code 04 - enables to read input register of the PED.
Funcion code 06 - enable to preset single register of the PED.
If you try to set another function code, the PED returns error
answer that is called “exception response” in the protocol with
code 1, that means the PED did not support this function code.

19
5.2 FUNCTION CODE - 04

By this function it’s possible to read the memory registers of the

PED. The address space of the PED that is available for this code
is from 0029H (Hex) to 0052H (Hex) and from 0010H to 001DH.
If you try to set a code out of the range of this address space
the PED returns “exception response” with code no.2, which
means illegal address space.
On the first address space, 0029H to 0052H, the PED keeps the
values of the parameters that you entered before on each screen.
For example: On screen no. 55 PED ID - when you enter a value,
the PED keeps it on address 0052H, so when you read this
address the value the PED returns is the parameter PED ID kept
in memory. In the second address space, 0010H to 001DH, the
PED keeps the values of the voltage and the current that it measures,
and indicates the state of the relays and the operation mode.

The range of the values the PED keeps its memory is devided to
3 groups:

1) Values smaller than 255 - occupies 1 address space in the

memory of the PED (1 byte).

2) Values bigger than 255 - occupies 2 address space in the

memory of the PED (2 bytes). For example: On screen no. 90
(starter nominal current) the range of this parameter is 1-2400, so
if you set the value 259, it’s equal to the binary no.:
00000001 00000011 (2 bytes)
high byte low byte

The PED keeps this parameter in 2 address spaces. The high byte
is being kept always first ,for example, at address 0000H, and the
low byte at 0001. So when you read the parameters on this range
you need to read 2 address spaces and calculate it as a binary no.

3) This group needs 1 byte, but this byte is devided to a group of

bits. Each group belongs to a parameter.
For example: In address 002AH this byte is devided like this:
1 bit 7 bits
The first group contains 1 bit, this is YES/NO bit from screen no.
21 (freewheel stop), so if you set this bit to the YES option it
equals to 1. If you set NO option it equals to 0.
The second group contains 7 bits. This parameter is from screen
no.22 (initial declaration) and the value of this parameter is stored
in these 7 bits, but when you read this byte the value the PED
returns is the binary combination of all the 8 bits.

IN THE NEXT PAGE YOU CAN FIND THE MEMORY MAP OF THE PED.
With this map you can see how and where the PED keeps the
parameter in its addresses space.

RELAYS STATE
In address 0010H it’s possible to see the state of each relay.
The order of the relays in this byte is shown below:
R1 R2 R3
When the relay R1 is ON - the bit R1 is equal to 1.
When the relay R1 is OFF - the bit R1 is equal to 0.
By the binary combination of these three bits it’s possible to
know the state of each relay. Range 0 - 7.

OPERATION MODE
In address 0011H it’s possible to know the mode of operation
the PED is working on, or the kind of fault if occured.

5.5 FUNCTION CODE - 06

By this function it’s possible to preset one register

in the PED memory. After you use this function
code, it is very important to check the new value
the PED keeps in its memory.
You can do this by sending function code 04 to
read this register and check the new value.
After the PED updated the new value in the
memory, it shows the new value on the display
on the screen no. that belongs to the register
that had changed.

If the option YES on screen no.5 (lock parameter)

is active, then it’s not possible to preset the
registers and the PED returns “exception response”
with code no.6, that means the PED is busy.

The address space that is available for function

code 06 is from 002C(Hex) to 0052 (Hex). On
this address space it’s not possible to preset
register with address no. 004BH - 0051H.
If you attend to change these addresses the PED
returns “exception response” with code no.2,
that means illegal data address.
If you try to set a value out of the range of the
parameter, the PED returns “exception response”
with code no.3, which means illegal data value.
