Introduction

2 Introduction
2.1 Compatibility
This communication expansion card is suitable for use with VLT® Soft Starter MCD 600. The card is available in 2 versions: · 175G0127: VLT® Soft Starter MCD 600 Modbus RTU Card · 175G0027: VLT® Soft Starter MCD 600 Modbus RTU Card with Ground Fault Protection. This manual is suitable for use with both versions. This Installation Guide is intended for use with version 2.x of the VLT® Soft Starter MCD 600 Modbus RTU Card. Version 1.x of the Modbus RTU Card does not support custom users, TCP connection, or IoT operation.

Operation

4 Operation

4.1 Prerequisites
The Modbus RTU Card must be controlled by a Modbus client (such as a PLC) which complies with the Modbus Protocol Specification. For successful operation, the client must also support all functions and interfaces described in this manual.

4.2 Client Configuration
For standard Modbus 11-bit transmission, configure the client for 2 stop bits with no parity and 1 stop bit for odd or even parity. For 10-bit transmission, configure the client for 1 stop bit. In all cases, the client baud rate and server address must match those set in parameters 12-1 to 12-4. The data polling interval must be long enough for the module to respond. Short polling intervals may cause inconsistent or incorrect behavior, particularly when reading multiple registers. The recommended minimum polling interval is 300 ms.

4.3 Configuration

4.3.1 Modbus Network Settings
Set the network communication parameters for the card via the soft starter. For details on how to configure the soft starter, see the VLT® Soft Starter MCD 600 Operating Guide.

Table 1: Parameter Settings

Parameter

Parameter name

Description

12-1

Modbus Address

Sets the Modbus RTU network address for the soft starter.

12-2

Modbus Baud Rate

Selects the baud rate for Modbus RTU communications.

12-3

Modbus Parity

Selects the parity for Modbus RTU communications.

12-4

Modbus Timeout

Selects the timeout for Modbus RTU communications.

4.3.2 Enabling Network Control
The soft starter only accepts commands from the expansion card if parameter 1-1 Command Source is set to Network.
NOTICE
If the reset input is active, the soft starter does not operate. If a reset switch is not required, fit a link across terminals RESET, COM+ on the soft starter.

4.4 Feedback LEDs
LED status Off On Flashing

Description The soft starter is not powered up. Communication active. Communication inactive.

NOTICE
If communication is inactive, the soft starter may trip on Network Communications. If parameter 6-13 Network Communications is set to Soft Trip and Log or Trip Starter, the soft starter requires a reset.

Modbus Registers

5 Modbus Registers
5.1 PLC Configuration
Use the tables in 5.5 Standard Mode to map registers within the device to addresses within the PLC.
NOTICE
All references to registers mean the registers within the device unless otherwise stated.

5.2 Compatibility
The Modbus RTU Card supports 2 modes of operation: · In Standard Mode, the device uses registers defined in the Modbus Protocol Specification. · In Legacy Mode, the device uses the same registers as the clip-on Modbus Module supplied by Danfoss for use with older soft
starters. Some registers differ from those specified in the Modbus Protocol Specification.
5.3 Ensuring Safe and Successful Control
Data written to the device remains in its registers until the data is overwritten or the device is reinitialized. If the soft starter should be controlled via parameter 7-1 Command Override or should be disabled via the reset input (terminals RESET, COM+), fieldbus commands should be cleared from the registers. If a command is not cleared, it is resent to the soft starter once fieldbus control resumes.
5.4 Parameter Management
Parameters can be read from and written to the soft starter. The Modbus RTU Card can read or write a maximum of 125 registers in 1 operation.
NOTICE
The total number of parameters in the soft starter may vary according to the model and parameter list of the soft starter. Attempting to write to a register not associated with a parameter returns an error code 02 (illegal data address). Read register 30602 to determine the total number of parameters in the soft starter.

NOTICE
Do not change the default values of the Advanced parameters (parameter group 20-** Advanced Parameters). Changing these values may cause unpredictable behavior in the soft starter.

Ground Fault Protection

6 Ground Fault Protection

6.1 Overview

NOTICE
Ground fault protection is only available on ground fault enabled option cards with soft starters running a compatible version of software. Contact the supplier for assistance.

The Modbus RTU Card can detect ground current and trip before the equipment is damaged. Ground fault protection requires a 1000:1 or 2000:1 current transformer (not supplied). The CT should be rated 1 VA or 5 VA. The soft starter can be configured to trip at 1­50 A. If ground fault current rises above 50 A, the soft starter trips immediately. Parameter 40-3 Ground Fault Trip Active selects when ground fault protection is active.
6.2 Connect the CT to the Ground Fault Inputs
To use ground fault protection, a common-mode current transformer (CT) must be installed around all 3 phases.
Procedure 1. Use a 1000:1 or 2000:1 CT with a rating of 1 VA or 5 VA. 2. Set parameter 40-5 Ground Fault CT ratio to match the CT. 3. Connect the CT to the ground fault terminals (G1, G2, G3).
For maximum protection, the CT should be installed on the input side of the soft starter.

6.3 Configure Ground Fault Protection Settings
Ground fault protection settings must be set in the soft starter.

Parameter

Description

Parameter 40-1 Ground Fault Level

Sets the trip point for ground fault protection.

Parameter 40-2 Ground Fault Delay

Shows the response of the Modbus RTU Card to ground fault variation, avoiding trips due to momentary fluctuations.

Parameter 40-3 Ground Fault Trip Active Selects when a ground fault trip can occur.

Parameter 40-4 Ground Fault Action

Selects the response of the soft starter to the protection event.

Parameter 40-5 Ground Fault CT Ratio Set to match the ratio of the ground current measuring CT.
