Communication between Delta PLC
and Danfoss VLT6000 Series Adjustable VFD

Control Purpose:
 

 

 
  • Controlling the start/stop status and reading
    out the frequency of Danfoss VLT6000 series frequency drive through
    communication by master PLC.

  •         If Danfoss VLT6000 frequency inverter cannot run
    normally due to improper parameters, users can set VLT6000 to factory defaults:
    set P620 = 3 and press OK. Then set the parameters according to the above
    table.

Program
Description:
 
  •         Initialize
    PLC RS-485 communication port and set the communication format as, 9600, 8, E, 1.
    The RS-485 communication format of VLT6000 should be the same with Master PLC.
  •         When X0
    = ON, VLT6000 starts to run forward in 40Hz and its output frequency will be
    read out.

There are 2 situations for
RS communication: M1123 for normal communication and M1129 for receiving
timeout. When communication time-out occurred, M2 can be used to retry.

Remarks:
 
·
There are 3 protocols for
Danfoss VLT6000 series inverter: FC (default), Metasys N2 and LS FLN. This
program uses FC protocol which is similar with USS protocol used by Siemens MM420
series inverter: allows maximum of one master connected with 31 slaves. Slave
ID: 0~31.
