Communication Protocol 9

9.1 What this chapter contains

This chapter describes the communication protocol of TETA MA610 series inverters.
The TETA MA610 series inverters provide RS485 communication interface. It adopts
international standard MODBUS communication protocol to perform master-slave
communication. The user can realize centralized control through PC/PLC, upper control PC,
etc. (set the control command, running frequency of the inverter, modify relevant function
codes, monitor and control the operating state and fault information of the inverter and so on)
to adapt specific application requirements.

9.2 Brief instruction to MODBUS protocol

MODBUS protocol is a software protocol and common language which is applied in the
electrical controller. With this protocol, the controller can communicate with ot her devices via
network (the channel of signal transmission or the physical layer, such as RS485). And with
this industrial standard, the controlling devices of different manufacturers can be connected
to an industrial network for the convenient of being monitored.
There are two transmission modes for MODBUS protocol: ASCII mode and RTU (Remote
Terminal Units) mode. On one MODBUS network, all devices should select same
transmission mode and their basic parameters, such as baud rate, digital bit, check bit, and
stopping bit should have no difference.
MODBUS network is a controlling network with single-master and multiple slaves, which
means that there is only one device performs as the master and the others are the slaves
on one MODBUS network. The master means the device which has active talking right to
sent message to MODBUS network for the controlling and inquiring to other devices. The
slave means the passive device which sends data message to the MODBUS network only
after receiving the controlling or inquiring message (command) form the master (response).
After the master sends message, there is a period of time left for the controlled or inquired
slaves to response, which ensure there is only one slave sends message to the master at a
time for the avoidance of singles impact.
Generally, the user can set PC, PLC, IPC and HMI as the masters to realize central control.
Setting certain device as the master is a promise other than setting by a bottom or a switch or
the device has a special message format. For example, when the upper monitor is running,
if the operator clicks sending command bottom, the upper monitor can send command
message actively even it can not receive the message form other devices. In this case, the
upper monitor is the master. And if the designer makes the inverter send the data only after
receiving the command, then the inverter is the slave.
The master can communicate with any single slave or with all slaves. For the single-visiting
command, the slave should feedback a response message; for the broadcasting message
from the master, the slave does not need to feedback the response message.

9.3 Application of the inverter

The MODBUS protocol of the inverter is RTU mode and the physical layer is 2-wire RS485.

9.3.1 RS485
The interface of 2-wire RS485 works on semiduplex and its data signal applies differential
transmission which is called balance transmission, too. It uses twisted pairs, one of which is
defined as A (+) and the other is defined as B (-). Generally, if the positive electrical level
between sending drive A and B is among +2~+6V, it is logic“1”, if the electrical level is among
-2V~-6V; it is logic“0”.
485+ on the terminal board corresponds to A and 485- to B.
Communication baud rate means the binary bit number in one second. The unit is bit/s (bps).
The higher the baud rate is, the quicker the transmission speed is and the weaker the
anti-interference is. If the twisted pairs of 0.56mm（24AW G）is applied as the communication
cables, the Max. Transmission distance is as below:
Max. transmission Max. transmission
Baud rate Baud rate
distance distance
2400BPS 1800m 9600BPS 800m
4800BPS 1200m 19200BPS 600m
It is recommended to use shield cables and make the shield layer as the grounding wires
during RS485 remote communication.
In the cases with less devices and shorter distance, it is recommended to use 120Ω terminal
resistor as the performance will be weakened if the distance increase even though the
network can perform well without load resistor.
9.3.2 RTU mode

9.3.2.1 RTU communication frame format

If the controller is set to communicate by RTU mode in MODBUS network every 8bit byte in
the message includes two 4Bit hex characters. Compared with ASCII mode, this mode can
send more data at the same baud rate.
Code system
· 1 start bit
· 7 or 8 digital bit, the minimum valid bit can be sent firstly. Every 8 bit frame includes two
hex characters (0...9, A...F)
· 1 even/odd check bit . If there is no checkout, the even/odd check bit is inexistent.
· 1 end bit (with checkout), 2 Bit(no checkout)
Error detection field
· CRC
The data format is illustrated as below:
11-bit character frame (BIT1~BIT8 are the digital bits)
Check
Start bit BIT1 BIT2 BIT3 BIT4 BIT5 BIT6 BIT7 BIT8 End bit
bit
10-bit character fram e (BIT1~BIT7 are the digital bits)
Check
Start bit BIT1 BIT2 BIT3 BIT4 BIT5 BIT6 BIT7 End bit
bit

119
 Communication Protocol

In one character frame, the digital bit takes effect. The start bit, check bit and end bit is used
to send the digital bit right to the other device. The digital bit, even/odd checkout and end bit
should be set as the same in real application.
The MODBUS minimum idle time between frames should be no less than 3.5 bytes. The
network device is detecting, even during the interval time, the network bus. When the first
field (the address field) is received, the corresponding device decodes next transmitting
character. When the interval time is at least 3.5 byte, the message ends.
The whole message frame in RTU mode is a continuous transmitting flow. If there is an
interval time (more than 1.5 bytes) before the completion of the frame, the receiving device
will renew the uncompleted message and suppose the next byte as the address field of the
new message. As such, if the new message follows the previous one within the interval
time of 3.5 bytes, the receiving device will deal with it as the same with the previous
message. If these two phenomena all happen during the transmission, the CRC will
generate a fault message to respond to the sending devices.
The standard structure of RTU frame:

START T1-T2-T3-T4(transmission time of 3.5 bytes)

Communication address: 0~247(decimal system)(0 is the broadcast
ADDR
address)
03H:read slave parameters
CMD
06H:write slave parameters

well as the core of data exchanging
DATA (0)
CRC CHK low bit
Detection value:CRC (16BIT）
CRC CHK high bit
END T1-T2-T3-T4(transmission time of 3.5 bytes)

9.3.2.2 RTU communication frame error checkout

Various factors (such as electromagnetic interference) may cause error in the data
transmission. For example, if the sending message is a logic “1”,A-B potential difference on
RS485 should be 6V, but in reality, it may be -6V because of electromagnetic interference,
and then the other devices take the sent message as logic“0”. If there is no error checkout,
the receiving devices will not find the message is wrong and they may give incorrect
response which cause serious result. So the checkout is essential to the message.
The theme of checkout is that: the sender calculate the sending data according to a fixed
formula, and then send the result with the message. When the receiver gets this message,
they will calculate anther result according to the same method and compare it with the
sending one. If two results are the same, the message is correct. If not, the message is
incorrect.
The error checkout of the frame can be divided into two parts: the bit checkout of the byte
and the whole data checkout of the frame (CRC check).
Bit checkout of the byte
The user can select different bit checkouts or non-checkout, which impacts the check bit

120
 Communication Protocol

setting of each byte.

The definition of even checkout: add an even check bit before the data transmission to
illustrate the number of “1” in the data transmission is odd number or even number. When it is
even, the check byte is “0”, otherwise, the check byte is”1”. This method is used to stabilize
the parity of the data.
The definition of odd checkout: add an odd check bit before the data transmission to illustrate
the number of “1” in the data transmission is odd number or even number. When it is odd, the
check byte is “0”, otherwise, the check byte is”1”. This method is used to stabilize the parity
of the data.
For example, when transmitting “11001110”, there are five “1” in the data. If the even checkout
is applied, the even check bit is “1”; if the odd checkout is applied; the odd check bit is “0”. The
even and odd check bit is calculated on the check bit position of the frame. And the receiving
devices also carry out even and odd checkout. If the parity of the receiving data is different
from the setting value, there is an error in the communication.
CRC check
The checkout uses RTU frame format. The frame includes the frame error detection field
which is based on the CRC calculation method. The CRC field is two bytes, including 16 figure
binary values. It is added into the frame after calculated by transmitting device. The receiving
device recalculates the CRC of the received frame and compares them with the value in the
received CRC field. If the two CRC values are different, there is an error in the communication.
During CRC, 0*FFFF will be stored. And then, deal with the continuous 6-above bytes in the
frame and the value in the register. Only the 8Bit data in every character is effective to CRC,
while the start bit, the end and the odd and even check bit is ineffective.
The calculation of CRC applies the international standard CRC checkout principles. When
the user is editing CRC calculation, he can refer to the relative standard CRC calculation t o
write the required CRC calculation program.
Here provided a simple function of CRC calculation for the reference (programmed with C
language):
unsigned int crc_cal_value(unsigned char *data_value,unsigned char data_length)
{
int i;
unsigned int crc_value=0xffff;
while(data_length--)
{ crc_value^=*data_value++;
for(i=0;i<8;i++)
{
if(crc_value&0x0001)crc_value=(crc_value>>1)^0xa001;
else crc_value=crc_value>>1;
} }
return(crc_value);
}
In ladder logic, CKSM calculated the CRC value according to the frame with the table
inquiry.

The method is advanced with easy program and quick calculation speed. But the ROM space
the program occupied is huge. So use it with caution according to the program required
space.

9.4 RTU command code and communication data illustration

9.4.1 Command code: 03H
read N words（Word）(the Max. continuous reading is 16 words)
Command code 03H means that if the master read data form the inverter, the reading number
depends on the “data number” in the command code. Max. continuous reading number is 16
and the parameter address should be continuous. The byte length of every data is 2 (one word).
The following command format is illustrated by hex (a number with “H” means hex) and one
hex occupies one byte.
The command code is used to read the working step of the inverter.
For example, read continuous 2 data content from 0004H from the inverter with the address of
01H (read the content of data address of 0004H and 0005H), the frame structure is as below:
RTU master command message (from the master to the inverter)

START T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)

ADDR 01H
CMD 03H
High bit of the start address 00H
Low bit of the start address 04H
High bit of data number 00H
Low bit of data number 02H
CRC low bit 85H
CRC high bit CAH
END T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)

T1-T2-T3-T4 between START and END is to provide at least the time of 3.5 bytes as the
leisure time and distinguish two messages for the avoidance of taking two messages as one
message.
ADDR = 01H means the command message is sent to the inverter with the address of 01H
and ADDR occupies one byte
CMD=03H means the command message is sent to read data form the inverter and CMD
occupies one byte
“Start address” means reading data form the address and it occupies 2 bytes with the fact
that the high bit is in the front and the low bit is in the behind.
“Data number” means the reading data number with the unit of word. If the “start address’ is
0004H and the “data number” is 0002H, the data of 0004H and 0005H will be read.
CRC occupies 2 bytes with the fact that the high bit is in the front and the low bit is in the
behind.
RTU slave response message (from the inverter to the master)
START T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)

Data low bit of address 0005H 00H
CRC CHK low bit 7EH
CRC CHK high bit 9DH
END T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)
The meaning of the response is that:
ADDR = 01H means the command message is sent to the inverter with the address of 01H
and ADDR occupies one byte
CMD=03H means the message is received from the inverter to the master for the response
of reading command and CMD occupies one byte
“Byte number” means all byte number from the byte(excluding the byte) to CRC
byte(excluding the byte). 04 means there are 4 byte of data from the “byte number” to “CRC
CHK low bit”, which are “digital address 0004H high bit”, “digital address 0004H low bit”,
“digital address 0005H high bit” and “digital address 0005H low bit”.
There are 2 bytes stored in one data with the fact that the high bit is in the front and the low
bit is in the behind of the message, the data of data address 0004H is 1388H, and the data
of data address 0005H is 0000H.
CRC occupies 2 bytes with the fact that the high bit is in the front and the low bit is in the
behind.
9.4.2 Command code: 06H
06H (correspond to binary 0000 0110), write one word(Word)
The command means that the master write data to the inverter and one command can write
one data other than multiple dates. The effect is to change the working mode of the inverter.
For example, write 5000 (1388H) to 0004H from the inverter with the address of 02H, the
fram e structure is as below:
RTU master command message (from the master to the inverter)

START T1-T2-T3-T4(transmission time of 3.5 bytes)

ADDR 02H
CMD 06H
High bit of write data address 00H
Low bit of write data address 04H
High bit of data content 13H
Low bit of data content 88H
CRC CHK low bit C5H
CRC CHK high bit 6EH
END T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)
RTU slave response message (from the inverter to the master)

9.4.4 Command code: 10H, continuous writing

Command code 10H means that if the master writes data to the inverter, the data number
depends on the “data number” in the command code. The Max. continuous reading number
is 16.
For example, write 5000(1388H) to 0004H of the inverter whose slave address is 02H and
50(0032H) to 0005H, the frame structure is as below:
The RTU request command is:
START T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)
ADDR 02H
CMD 10H
High bit of write data 00H
Low bit of write data 04H
High bit of data number 00H
Low bit of data number 02H
Byte number 04H
High bit of data 0004H 13H
Low bit of data 0004H 88H
High bit of data 0005H 00H
Low bit of data 0005H 32H
Low bit of CRC C5H
High bit of CRC 6EH
END T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)
The RTU response command is:
START T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)
ADDR 02H
CMD 10H
High bit of write data 00H
Low bit of write data 04H
High bit of data number 00H
Low bit of data number 02H
Low bit of CRC C5H
High bit of CRC 6EH
END T1-T2-T3-T4 (transmission time of 3.5 bytes)
9.4.5 The definition of data address
The address definition of the communication data in this part is to control the running of the
inverter and get the state information and relative function parameters of the inverter.

9.4.5.1 The rules of parameter address of the function codes

The parameter address occupies 2 bytes with the fact that the high bit is in the front and the
low bit is in the behind. The range of high and low byte are: high byte—00~ffH; low byte—
00~ffH. The high byte is the group number before the radix point of the function code and the
low byte is the number after the radix point. But both the high byte and the low byte should

125
 Communication Protocol

be changed into hex. For example P05.06, the group number before the radix point of the
function code is 05, then the high bit of the parameter is 05, the number after the radix point
05, then the low bit of the parameter is 06, then the function code address is 0506H and the
parameter address of P10.01 is 0A01H.

Note: P29 group is the factory parameter which can not be read or changed. Some
parameters can not be changed when the inverter is in the running state and some
parameters can not be changed in any state. The setting range, unit and relative
instructions should be paid attention to when modifying the function code parameters.
Besides, EEPROM is stocked frequently, which may shorten the usage time of EEPROM.
For users, some functions are not necessary to be stocked on the communication mode.
The needs can be met on by changing the value in RAM. Changing the high bit of the
function code form 0 to 1 can also realize the function. For example, the function code
P00.07 is not stocked into EEPROM. Only by changing the value in RAM can set the
address to 8007H. This address can only be used in writing RAM other than reading. If it is
used to read, it is an invalid address.

9.4.5.2 The address instruction of other function in MODBUS

The master can operate on the parameters of the inverter as well as control the inverter,
such as running or stopping and monitoring the working state of the inverter.

R/W characteristics means the function is with read and write characteristics. For example,
“communication control command” is writing chrematistics and control the inverter with
writing command (06H). R characteristic can only read other than write and W characteristic
can only write other than read.
Note: when operate on the inverter with the table above, it is necessary to enable some
parameters. For example, the operation of running and stopping, it is necessary to set P00.01
to communication running command channel and set P00.02 to MODBUS communication
channel. And when operate on “PID reference”, it is necessary to set P09.00 to “MODBUS
communication setting”.
The encoding rules for device codes (corresponds to identifying code 2103H of the inverter)

Note: the code is consisted of 16 bit which is high 8 bits and low 8 bits. High 8 bits mean
the motor type series and low 8 bits mean the derived motor types of the series. For
example, 0110H means TETA MA610 vector inverters.
9.4.6 Fieldbus ratio values
The communication data is expressed by hex in actual application and there is no radix point
in hex. For example, 50.12Hz can not be expressed by hex so 50.12 can be magnified by
100 times into 5012, so hex 1394H can be used to express 50.12.
A non-integer can be timed by a multiple to get an integer and the integer can be called
fieldbus ratio values.
The fieldbus ratio values are referred to the radix point of the setting range or default value in
the function parameter
n list. If there are figures behind the radix point (n=1), then the fieldbus
ratio value m is 10 . Take the table as the example:

129
 Communication Protocol

If there is one figure behind the radix point in the setting range or the default value, then
the fieldbus ratio value is 10. if the data received by the upper monitor is 50, then
the “hibernation restore delay time” is 5.0 (5.0=50÷10).
If MODBUS communication is used to control the hibernation restore delay time as 5.0s.
Firstly, 5.0 can be magnified by 10 times to integer 50 (32H) and then this data can be sent.

After the inverter receives the command, it will change 50 into 5 according to the fieldbus
ratio value and then set the hibernation restore delay time as 5s.
Another example, after the upper monitor sends the command of reading the parameter of
hibernation restore delay time ,if the response message of the inverter is as following:

Because the parameter data is 0032H (50) and 50 divided by 10 is 5, then the hibernation
restore delay time is 5s.

9.4.7 Fault message response

There may be fault in the communication control. For example, some parameter can only be
read. If a writing message is sent, the inverter will return a fault response message.
The fault message is from the inverter to the master, its code and meaning is as below:

The slave uses functional code fields and fault addresses to indicate it is a normal response
or some error occurs (named as objection response). For normal responses, the slave
shows corresponding function codes, digital address or sub-function codes as the response.
For objection responses, the slave returns a code which equals the normal code, but the first
byte is logic 1.
For example: when the master sends a message to the slave, requiring it to read a group of
address data of the inverter function codes, there will be following function codes:
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 (Hex 03H)
For normal responses, the slave responds the same codes, while for objection responses, it
will return:
1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 (Hex 83H)
Besides the function codes modification for the objection fault, the slave will respond a byte
of abnormal code which defines the error reason.
When the master receives the response for the objection, in a typical processing, it will send
the message again or modify the corresponding order.
For example, set the “running command channel” of the inverter (P00.01, parameter
address is 0001H) with the address of 01H to 03, the command is as following:

But the setting range of “running command channel” is 0~2, if it is set to 3, because the
number is beyond the range, the inverter will return fault response message as below:

Abnormal response code 86H means the abnormal response to writing command 06H; the
fault code is 04H. In the table above, its name is operation failed and its meaning is that the
parameter setting in parameter writing is invalid. For example, the function input terminal can
not be set repeatedly.
9.4.8 Example of writing and reading
Refer to 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 for the command format.
9.4.8.1 Example of reading command 03H
Read the state word 1 of the inverter with the address of 01H (refer to table 1). From the
table 1, the parameter address of the state word 1 of the inverter is 2100H.
The command sent to the inverter:

If the response message is as below:

The data content is 0003H. From the table 1, the inverter stops.
Watch “the current fault type” to “the previous 5 times fault type” of the inverter through
commands, the corresponding function code is P07.27~P07.32 and corresponding
parameter address is 071BH~0720H(there are 6 from 071BH).
The command sent to the inverter:

If the response message is as below:

See from the returned data, all fault types are 0023H (decimal 35) with the meaning of
maladjustment (STo).
9.4.8.2 Example of writing command 06H
Make the inverter with the address of 03H to run forward. See table 1, the address of
“communication control command” is 2000H and forward running is 0001. See the table
below.

The command sent by the master:

 Communication Protocol

If the operation is success, the response may be as below (the same with the command
sent by the master):

Set the Max. Output frequency of the inverter with the address of 03H as100Hz.

See the figures behind the radix point, the fieldbus ratio value of the Max. output frequency
(P00.03) is 100. 100Hz timed by 100 is 10000 and the corresponding hex is 2710H.
The command sent by the master:

If the operation is successful, the response may be as below (the same with the command
sent by the master):

Note: the blank in the above command is for illustration. The blank can not be added in the
actual application unless the upper monitor can remove the blank by themselves.
Common communication fault
Common communication faults are: no response to the communication or the inverter
returns abnormal fault.
The possible reason for no response to the communication:
Selecting wrong serial interface, for example, if the converter is COM1, selecting COM2
during the communication
The baud rate, digital bit, end bit and check bit are not the same with the inverter + and - of
RS485 are connected in reverse.
The 485 wire cap on the terminal board of the inverter is not plug in. the wire cap in
behind the terminal arrangement.
9.4.8.3 Example of continous writing command10H
Example 1: make the inverter whose address is 01H run forward at 10Hz. Refer to the
instruction of 2000H and 0001. Set the address of “communication setting frequency” is
2001H and 10Hz corresponds to 03E8H. See the table below.
