Modbus Control

mbpoll

There is an open source utility that can speak Modbus over a serial port (or USB to serial) that has an RS-485 adapter attached. It's called mbpoll:

mbpoll commands to interact with the VFD:

# to turn the spindle on
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 6 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 1 -t 4
sleep 0.1
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 7 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 1 -t 4 
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 15 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 1 -t 4
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 47 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 1 -t 4
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 111 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 1 -t 4

# to turn the spindle off
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 6 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 1 -t 4

# to reset a fault (needs to be tested)
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 1 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 8 -t 0

# monitor output frequency (displays Hz * 10)
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 103 -t 4

# monitor output current (displays A * 10)
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 104 -t 4

# monitor output power (displays kW * 10)
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 106 -t 4

# monitor output voltage (displays V)
./mbpoll /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -s 1 -P none -a 1 -r 109 -t 4
