PLC-Link is not only a tool to exchange data between PLC’s.
With PLC-link you can also share memory space with a servo, inverter, temperature controller, etc…
In this case I would show you the procedure to do it with VFD-E series drive.
The advantage of this method agains the “sending frames one” is that you don’t need to program and trigger one frame for every value read or write to the slave.
With this method, you only have to configurate the communication, and you will have any Slave value in your master buffers.
follow the next steps:
1. Hardware
use exactly the same advices as the PLC-VFD communication post.
2. Decide the protocol to be used.
And write it on a post it in front of you. In this case we use protocol Modbus ASCII, 9600 baud,7,Even,1
3. Inverter configuration (almost same as PLC-VFD communcation post)
The important think on this step is get ready the inverter to receive orders from RS485 interface, so depending the inverter the values are going to be different. In this example I use VFD-E.
Check the parameters If you are going to use another inverter.
2.00 = 3
Source of First Master Frequency Command
3: RS-485 (RJ-45) communication
2.01 = 3
Source of First Operation Command
3: RS-485 (RJ-45) communication. Keypad STOP/RESET enabled.
9.00 = 2
Communication Address
in my example 2
9.01 = 1
Transmission Speed
3: Baud rate 9600bps
9.04 = 1
Communication Protocol
0: 7,E,1 (Modbus, ASCII)
4. PLC Software
In this case I recommend to have the manual opened, because basically is a matter to configure the PLC-Link special registers properly.
D1399:ID address of the first slave
D1434:Number of consecutive registers to be Read (by the master)
D1355:First register direction of the slave to be Read (H2102 = Frequency command)
D1450: Number of consecutive registers to be Write (by the master)
D1415: First register direction of the slave to be Write (H2001 = Frequency command)
D1480:Readed values Master Buffer (Slave 1)
D1496:Writed values Master Buffer (Slave 1)
To find what register I need to edit in each case, look in the manual for any of those registers, and look for the proper one.
And Check the following program and test it.
PLC Link COM2 (PLC – VFD)
I’m pretty sure that system will save you a lot of time and efforts.

i can connect Delta PLC with fuji inverter ??
November 17, 2021 at 7:40 pm
Yes, PLC LINK does support to other brands VFDs as well. They just have to have RS-485 Modbus compatibility.
January 21, 2020 at 3:44 pm
hi what is the command to run vfd from modbus 485 and how to change the frequency iam using microcontroller to control vfd 7N1(modbus,ASCII) format address is 2
June 4, 2019 at 4:21 am
Sir, if I want to control two or more vfd using single delta PLC which have only a single R485 port. How can I do that??
December 13, 2018 at 3:20 pm

Hello sir,
how we should configure the Master PLC about the number of slave VFDs?
if i am using 32stations mode and i have connected only 18 stations or just 2 stations then we could tell the PLC that how much stations are connected right now.
thank you.
July 13, 2015 at 11:44 am

July 13, 2015 at 7:45 am
nasir,
download above application example and run.
its really very helpful.
if it doesn’t work then reset the plc with factory setting ,
then download the given code,
then adjust the VFD parameter,
communication cable should be on correct location.
i was having the same issue, only thing that i was not doing, that was PLC Factory Reset , when i done this it worked..
July 10, 2015 at 8:13 am
Hello sir,
this post helped a lot !
this application example is for 16 devices but
what changes should we do for 32 or less devices to communicate.
thank you.

thank you
June 30, 2015 at 8:22 am
HELLO SIR
MAY I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASY PLC LINK AND PLC LINK?
THANK YOU
July 1, 2015 at 9:36 am
sure! Easy PLC Link is from Mitsubishi, and PLC Link for Delta.
We like simple stuff.
June 25, 2015 at 5:54 pm
I have 3 drives VFD L set 9600 baudios and 1 drive VFD M set 38400 baudios, I can not controller the L, but I can controller the M. I try change baudios a 9600 the M, pero after I do not have control, I back the valor before.
Where I have change baudios in HMI, DOP-AS57BSTD?
Can I have problem with the PLC?

Hi,
HMI DOP + PLC DVP + Inverter VFD-E
Example communication RS-485.
August 14, 2014 at 12:26 pm
Easy PLC link didn´t work at first, I had to manually turn on special mark M1362 and then it worked fine. This special mark (according to the manual) is read only and it indicates the status of slave ID#3, that´s the VFD-E´s ID. PLC is delta SX2
June 4, 2014 at 1:20 am
Download manual here http://www.delta.com.tw/product/em/drive/ac_motor/download/manual/VFD-E_M_EN_20120118.pdf
I don’t know how to send via forum
Address List is on page 200, Cooms parameters are all in group 9
What type of inverter did you decide to use post link to manual and I will have a quick look
moderator how do we post a file to this forum
May 30, 2014 at 2:21 am
brett
do you have a manual of the VFD E series that you used so that i can check your memory address you used?thanks alot…
May 30, 2014 at 1:37 am
thanks a lot brett it will be very helpful. il just send my configuration including the manual of the inverter which im going to used.If its ok to you il just give you updates in the progress of the developing this program..
May 14, 2014 at 1:46 am
Rukhi
You only need to send the instruction once, current operation mode stays to next change
Ben
Use PLClink to controll comms (check programming manual for instructions) with the drives look in the drive manual for Modbus addresses and set correct comms settings. procedure is identical to delta drives just different addresses, check for number register read write limits or you may get fault if you do to many recomend only sending 1 value
May 13, 2014 at 7:13 am
help guys!!!
the program was very helpful to us especially that this kind of modbus protocol is difficult to understand and atleast there you are unselfishly sharing your ideas.Thanks a lot..
by the way im planning to control the teco or panasonic inverter in modbus can you pls help me in doing this???Very much appreciated if you can help me…thanksand godbless
February 12, 2014 at 3:07 pm
hi
plc vfd communication is working fine.
i want to ask that when i send an instruction to run vfd or change vfd frequency , do i need to run a loop to run instruction or just send the instruction until the next change.

PLC Link COM2 (PLC – VFD) ….not working…
August 26, 2013 at 2:47 am
works very nicely. I find the following issues though
1. When accessing an address outside the PLC-Link range i.e. with modrd I needed to turn off the PLC-Link or time out may occur and both stop working, can PLC link be used with non sequential memory locations.
2. If one of my inverters is turned off VFD-s when it turns back on the system does not start repolling it yet the Link in slave PLC register stays on. what is the best way to detect a drop out and auto recover function. system in Auto mode in this instance
Thanks Brett

hello guys!! i nid your help..im planning to use delta PLC and panasonic/teco inverter with same modbus protocol…thnkx
June 20, 2012 at 6:53 pm
hello
what should i fo if i am using more then one vfd-E and one hmi,
what parameters should i change?
June 21, 2012 at 10:15 am
PLC-Link is only for PLC.
If you have an HMI directly connected to VFD, then use that information
https://deltautomation.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/hmi-vfd-communication-example/
May 21, 2012 at 9:21 am
You don´t need to configurate anything else than the related in the post.
Please try to change the + and – of the communication cable.
This used to be my typical mistake.
May 20, 2012 at 8:39 am
hi.
i have a dvp-es plc and 3bhp vfd-b drive. i tried rs485 connection between them. i used a phone cable just as you said and cut one side off for plc and used the other side for inverter. is there a way to test the connection between them. can you please provide a full example for me(drive setting and plc ladder). the ladder you provided in this sample doesn’t work.
thanks in advance.
