Modbus Protocol

Principle
Modbus protocol is a master-slave protocol.
Master Only one device can transmit on the line at any time.
The master manages the exchanges and only it can take the initiative.
It interrogates each of the slaves in succession.
No slave can send a message unless it is invited to do so.
The master repeats the question when there is an incorrect exchange, and
declares the interrogated slave missing if no response is received within a given
time period.
If a slave does not understand a message, it sends an exception response to
the master. The master may or may not repeat the request.

Slave j
Slave i Slave k

Direct slave-to-slave communications are not possible.

For slave-to-slave communication, the application software must have been purposely designed: to interrogate
one slave and send back data received to the other slave.

Two types of dialogue are possible between master and slaves:

• the master sends a request to a slave and waits for its response
• the master sends a request to all slaves without waiting for a response (broadcasting principle).

ENGLISH
Addresses
The slave address can have a value between 0 and 31.

Address 0:
• Address 0 coded in a request sent by the master is reserved for broadcast communication. All slaves,
including the ATS48, take account of the request, but do not respond to it.
• When the ATS48 has been configured with address 0 (default value), it takes account of requests addressed
between 1 and 31 and responds to the same address as each of these requests. As a result, the starter
behaves as if it were configured on all the possible addresses (1 to 31).
This default configuration should only be retained if point-to-point connection is being used, ie. mainly with
connection to a PC. An address other than 0 should be configured on a Modbus network which includes
other slaves.

Addresses 126 and 127:

Addresses 126 and 127 constitute privileged addresses. No Modbus master should therefore use either of
these addresses in requests generated on a Modbus network incorporating at least one Altistart 48.
Address 126 is reserved for communication with a terminal and address 127 is reserved for exchanges with
PowerSuite. Both of these should only be used on a point-to-point link.

 Modbus Protocol

Modbus functions
The following table indicates which Modbus functions are managed by the Altistart 48, and specifies their limits.
The "read" and "write" functions are defined from the point of view of the master.

Code Function name Broadcast Max. value of N Modbus standard name

(decimal) communication
3 Read N output words NO 30 words max. Read Holding Registers
4 Read N input words NO 30 words max. Read Input Registers
6 Write one output word YES – Preset Single Register
16 Write N output words YES 30 words max. Preset Multiple Regs

Exception responses
An exception response is returned by a slave when it is unable to perform the request which is addressed to it.

Format of an exception response:

Slave Response Error CRC16

no. code code Lo Hi
1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 2 bytes

Response code: request function code + H’80.

Error code:
1 = The function requested is not recognized by the slave.
2 = The bit or word addresses indicated in the request do not exist in the slave.
3 = The bit or word values indicated in the request are not permissible in the slave.
4 = The slave has started to execute the request but cannot continue to process it completely.

ENGLISH
CRC16 calculation
The CRC16 is calculated on all the message bytes by applying the following method:

Initialize the CRC (16-bit register) to 16#FFFF.

Enter the first to the last byte of the message:

CRC XOR <byte> —> CRC

Enter 8 times
Move the CRC one bit to the right
If the output bit = 1, enter CRC XOR 16#A001—> CRC
End
enter
End
enter

The CRC obtained will be transmitted with the low bytes sent first, then the high bytes (unlike the other data
contained in Modbus frames).

XOR = exclusive OR.

 Parameter Representation

Document structure
The information concerning parameters is supplementary to the Altistart 48 – Soft start - soft stop units user’s
manual. This manual should be consulted for the starter hardware and software setup. The parameters are
arranged in the same order in both manuals. Several indices, located at the end of the document, can be used
to search for parameter codes in alphabetical order, addresses in ascending order and parameter names in
alphabetical order.

STY Selection of the stop type 0 to 2 0

W4029 The selected type of stop is applied, for example, on deactivating the logic input LI_STOP.
- 0 = -F-: Freewheel stop: No torque is applied to the motor by the starter.
- 1 = -d-: Stop by torque control during deceleration: The starter applies a motor torque for gradual
deceleration on the ramp, avoiding a sudden stop if the resistive torque is high (example: water
hammer with a pump).
- 2 = -b-: Dynamic braking stop: The starter generates a braking torque in the motor which will
slow the motor down if there is considerable inertia.

If the starter is connected to the delta motor winding, stop type b is not permitted.

Note : Soft stopping by control of torque (type d) is available since V1.2IE13.

"- 0 = -F-: Freewheel stop"

’0’ is the parameter value
-F- is the soft starter terminal display

73 1623736 04/2013
Parameter Representation

Representation of data
The ATV48 parameters are 16-bit words designated by "W…" (…address in decimal notation).
They are used to represent unsigned values (0 to 65535), ie. 16 independent logic states.
In this case, they are called "registers", and the notation for their bits is "W…:xk" (k bit number, from 0 to 15).

Example:
W4028 = Voltage boost level
W402 = Status register
W402:X2 = Bit 2 of the status register

Values given in hexadecimal notation are written as 16#…

This notation is equivalent to the H…, H’…’, …k and 0x… notations sometimes used in other documents.
2#… … … … is binary representation.

Access to data
Some parameters can be accessed in both write mode and read mode: these are the parameters
corresponding to adjustments, configurations or commands. These parameters are used by the starter.

Data generated by the starter can only be accessed in read mode: signalling and fault information, etc. Any
attempt to write it results in nonsense, which the starter will reject.

Initializing values
On each power-up, the Altistart 48 is initialized with the configuration and adjustments stored in its EEPROM
memory.

When LINE Mode is active, the following commands can be performed on the parameters:
• Storage of these adjustments in the EEPROM is controlled via Bit 1 of CMI (W402:X1), active on rising edge
0 1.
• Return to factory settings is controlled via Bit 0 of CMI (W402:X0), active on rising edge 0 1.

ENGLISH
• Return to adjustments previously stored in the EEPROM (using Bit 1 of CMI) is controlled via Bit 2 of CMI
(W402:X2), active on rising edge 0 1.

Reserved parameters
Only the addresses and values defined in this document can be used. Any other address or
value must be considered to be reserved and must never be written. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in starter malfunctions.

Reading an existing memory zone which is not assigned to a parameter returns a value of 16#8000.

1623736 03/2013 74
 Control Modes

Description of Control Modes

The Altistart 48 can be controlled in three different modes:

• LOCAL mode: The starter is entirely controlled via the terminals. The parameters can be read and written
via Modbus. Writing the control register does not affect starter operation.

• FORCED LOCAL mode: The starter is entirely controlled via the terminals. Write access to the parameters
from the Modbus link is prohibited. Reading is possible.

• LINE mode: The starter is entirely controlled by the control register.

Only the STOP logic input remains active at the terminals and has priority.
There are two LINE mode profiles:
- DRIVECOM profile
- ATS46 profile
The DRIVECOM profile is compatible with applications developed for variable speed drives. The ATS46
profile is reserved for compatibility with the ATS46 soft starter (see "ATS46 compatibility" section).

A control mode is said to be active at a given moment if it determines the starter status.

Control mode parameter settings

The following parameters are some of those which it is useful to be familiar with in order to manage an
Altistart 48 when LINE mode is active.

Parameter Address Type Description

 Control Modes

Communication fault
The starter changes to LINE mode as soon as the control register is received (transition 1 on the chart).

For LINE mode to remain active, it is necessary to send messages to the starter regularly. A message
(irrespective of type) must be received at least every 2 seconds; this minimum period can be
adjusted using the timeout adjustment parameter for the TLP serial link (W2295 max. value = 60 s).
It may be necessary to modify this parameter if there are a number of subscribers on the same
Modbus network. If no message is received, this causes a starter serial link fault, SLF (W4200 = 5),
change from LINE mode to LOCAL mode, as well as reinitialization of the CMD (W400) and CMI
(W402) control registers in the starter.

The CMI.NTO bit (W402:X14), active at 1, can be used to inhibit communication control.
If NTO = 1, the starter no longer takes account of communication errors coming from
the RS485 serial link (Modbus link), and the SLF fault never appears. For obvious
safety reasons, use of the NTO bit should be reserved for the debug phase or for
special applications.

DRIVECOM status chart

ENGLISH

(1) The CMD and ETA register values are only given as examples. See following pages for description of these
register bits.
(2) With automatically resettable faults:
On an automatic reset, the status chart changes from the "Malfunction" state to the "Switch on disabled"
state without it being necessary to issue a fault reset command.

1623736 03/2013 78
 DRIVECOM Profile

The status chart changes according to control register CMD (W400), or following the appearance of an event
(for example: excessive starting time). The starter status is given by status register ETA (W458).

Not ready to switch on (Initialization):

This state characterizes initialization of communication, once power is supplied to the Altistart 48. It is not
visible, since it constitutes a transient state which occurs during initialization.

Switch on disabled (Configuration):

The starter is locked.
The configuration and adjustment parameters can be modified.
If all or part of the configuration and adjustments are to be loaded, we recommend disabling the parameter
consistency check function during parameter transfer by activating Bit 15 of CMI (W402:X15 = 1). Once the
transfer is complete, the consistency check should be enabled by deactivating the same boolean operator
(W402:X15 = 0); the check is then made immediately and affects all parameters.

Ready to switch on and Switched on:

The starter is locked.
The configuration and adjustment parameters can be modified. But if any of them are modified while in the
"Switched on state", this causes a return to the “Switch on disabled” state.

Operation enabled (Operational):

The starter drive functions are activated.

This is the only state in which the voltage upstream of the starter is possibly applied to the motor terminals.
In all states, the power supply can be applied. It is possible to reach the "Operation enabled" state without the
power supply having been established. Bit 4 of ETA (W458:X4) is used to determine whether the voltage is
applied (0) or not (1) to the starter terminals. The starter display unit indicates “NLP” if the power supply is
missing.

The configuration and adjustment parameters can only be modified when the motor is stopped and no voltage
is applied to the motor terminals. Modification of one of these parameters causes a return to the “Switch on
ENGLISH

disabled” state.
Only the control parameters can be modified while the motor is powered up and running. Any attempt to write
the value of a configuration or adjustment parameter will be rejected if voltage is applied to the motor terminals.

Quick stop active (Emergency stop active):

Freewheel stop.
Restarting is only possible after changing to the “Switch on disabled” state.

Malfunction reaction active (Reaction on fault):

Transient state during which the starter performs an action appropriate to the type of fault.
Freewheel stop.
The drive function is disabled.

Malfunction (Fault):
Faulty starter.
End of freewheel stop caused by change to the previous state "Malfunction reaction active".
The drive function is disabled.

IN Nominal motor current 0.1 A 0.4 to 1.3 ICL (1)
W4026
Adjust the value of the nominal motor current indicated on the rating plate, even if the starter is
connected in the motor delta winding (dLt in the PrO menu).
Check that this current is between 0.4 and 1.3 ICL (ICL: Starter rating (W4503)).
ILT Limiting current % 150 to 700 400
W4039
The limiting current ILt is expressed as a % of In.
It is limited to 500 % of the starter rating ICL (W4503).
Limiting current = ILt x In.
Example 1: In = 22 A, ILt = 300%, limiting current = 300% x 22 A = 66 A
Example 2: ATS 48C21Q, with ICL = 210 A
In = 195 A, ILt = 700%, limiting current = 700% x 195 = 1365,
limited to 500% x 210 = 1050 A

STY Selection of the stop type 0 to 2 0
W4029 The selected stop type is applied, for example, when the logic input LI_STOP is deactivated.
- 0 = -F-: Freewheel stop: No torque is applied to the motor by the starter.

- 1 = -d-: Decelerated stop using torque control. The starter applies a motor torque for gradual
deceleration on the ramp, avoiding a sudden stop. This stop type is an effective means
of reducing water hammer in a pump.
ENGLISH

- 2 = -b-: Dynamic braking stop: The starter generates a braking torque in the motor which will
slow the motor down if there is significant inertia.
Only stop type -F- is authorized if the motor delta winding connection function has been selected
(DLT = On / W4054 = 1).
DEC Deceleration ramp time s 1 to 60 15
W4044 This parameter is only used if a decelerated stop has been configured (STY = -d- / W4029 = 1).
It can be used to set a time between 1 and 60 s, for changing from the estimated torque to zero
torque.
This makes deceleration more or less gradual, and avoids hydraulic shocks in pump applications
by modifying the gradient of the torque reference.

This parameter can only be accessed if StY = -d- (W4029 = 1) and if parameter CLP in the drive
menu (drC) is still set to the factory setting (On) (W4107 = 1).
Used to set the final torque level between 0 and 100% of the torque estimated at the beginning
of deceleration.
In pump applications, deceleration control is not necessarily effective below a load level set by
Edc.
If the estimated torque at the start of deceleration is below 20, i.e. 20% of the nominal torque,
controlled deceleration is not activated, and the motor changes to freewheel mode.

EBA Pseudo-continuous braking time % 20 to 100 20
W4042 This parameter is only used if a dynamic braking stop has been configured (STY = -b- / W4029 = 2). EBA
is then used to adjust the current injection time at the end of braking.
Example: Dynamic braking = 10 s (T1)

EBA = 020 o Corresponds to an injection time of 02 s

The stopping time can vary from 2 to 10 s (T2)

EBA = 100 o Corresponds to an injection time of 10 s

Address
CMI Extended control register
W402 Bit 0 – Restore factory settings request: active on rising edge 0 1.
Once activated, this bit automatically changes to 0 after the request is taken into account. It is
inactive if the motor is powered up.
Bit 1 – Store customer parameters request: active on rising edge 0 1.
Activation of this bit prompts saving of the configuration and adjustment parameters in the
EEPROM, if there is sufficient voltage (excluding a USF fault). This bit automatically changes to
0 after the request is taken into account.
The EEPROM’s life is limited to 100,000 write operations. You should therefore make
sure that this bit is used neither too regularly, nor pointlessly.
Note: The stack of past faults is saved to the EEPROM each time the starter power
supply is disconnected. See the description of parameter DP1 (W4203).
Bit 2 – Restore saved customer parameters request: Active on rising edge 0 1.
Activation of this bit prompts restoration of the configuration and adjustment parameters saved to
the EEPROM. This bit is inactive if the motor is powered up. It automatically changes to 0 after
the request is taken into account.
Bit 3 – EXT – External fault command: active on rising edge 0 1.
Once activated, this bit automatically changes to 0 after the request is taken into account. This
triggers fault ETF (LFT / W4200 = 6).
Bit 4 – Reserved.
Bit 5 – Switch to second set of motor parameters: (active at 1).
Bits 6 to 9 – Reserved.
Bit 10 – Motor preheating request: active at 1. To activate this function, the starter must be in
the "Operation Enabled" state, with no run command present. Used to prevent the motor from
freezing or to prevent temperature deviations which may cause condensation. When the motor
stops, an adjustable current IPR (W4045) flows through it after an adjustable time delay TPR
(W4046), if the request has been activated. This current heats the motor without causing it to
ENGLISH

rotate. IPR and TPR should be adjusted.

Preheating starts when the request is present and the motor has stopped, after time delays TPR
(W4046) and TBS (W4032) have elapsed.
Bit 11 – Disable protection request: active at 1.

This type of use invalidates the starter warranty.

Used to override the starter in the event of an emergency (smoke extraction, for example).
Bit 12 – Reserved.
Bit 13 – Lock starter on stopping request: active at 1.
Bit 14 – Disable line monitoring: Command with communication control (0) or command
without communication control (No time out NTO) (1).
For obvious safety reasons, activation of this bit should be reserved for the debug
phase or for special applications.

Bit 15 – Disable parameter consistency check: active at 1.

When this bit is at 1, there is no parameter consistency check, and the starter is locked when
stopped. Switching this bit to 0 will revalidate all parameters.

W4068 Operating time is counted when the motor is not stopped, i.e. when the thyristors are fired
(heating, acceleration, steady state, deceleration, braking) and in continuous bypass operation.
The hour counter is reset on line via control word RPR, by applying the value of trE (W4401 = 2)
to it. This reset can also be performed, when the motor is stopped, from the starter terminal.
When the starter is switched off, the hour counter is saved to the EEPROM. After a period in
excess of 65,535 hours, or almost 7.5 years of continuous operation, the value of the RNT counter
changes from 65535 to 0.

Compatibility with ATS46

Principle
An ATS48 can be fitted instead of an ATS46 controlled in Modbus RTU mode.

There is no compatibility with applications using Modbus ASCII or Unitelway.

For new applications, we recommend using ATS48 functions and parameters.

Telemecanique does not make any commitment to reproducing this compatibility on future
ranges.

Operation of the ATS46 on Modbus RTU is described in the user’s manual “Altistart 46 - Communication option
VW3G46301” (reference VDOC32Q303).

All the ATS46 parameters are:

- either identical to those of the ATS48
- or emulated by equivalent parameters.

Management of the starter according to the " ATS46 compatibility" profile is only possible using control register
CMD6 (W4060) and status register ETA6 (W4061).

The ATS46 profile is activated on the ATS48 as soon as there is a write operation to control register CMD6
(W4060). When the ATS46 profile is activated, we do not recommend the use of parameters specific to the
ATS48.

In particular, CMD must not be used, otherwise the starter switches to the Drivecom profile. It remains in this
profile as long as the starter is powered up.

ATS46 control bits

The following table describes all the ATS46 control bits. They can only be accessed using Modbus functions 1
(read N output bits), 2 (read N input bits) et 5 (write one output bit). These functions are supported by the ATS48
in the ATS46 profile. They are described in the user’s manual Altistart 46 - Communication option.

The notation “B•” used below is similar that used for parameters “W••••”. Hence, for example, B4 corresponds
to bit number 4, ie. to NTO.

Address Code Name

B0 RST Generator reset command
B1 DLI Assignment of LINE/LOCAL commands
B2 EXT External fault
B3 – Reserved
B4 NTO Suppression of communication control
B5 RUN Run command
B6 CAF Braked stop request
B7 CAD Decelerated stop request
B8 CAL Freewheel stop request
