2.5.1 4 Wire RS485 Network
The diagram below shows the connections required for a 4 wire RS485 network,
using a master controller with an RS485 port. The UD70 and MD29 can be
configured to act as master controllers, but this requires DPL programming to
control the network.
An RS232-to-RS485 converter is required to allow a standard PC serial port to
communicatewitha4wireRS485network.
2.5.2 2 Wire RS485 Network
The diagram below shows the connections required for a 2 wire RS485 network,
using a master controller with an RS485 port. The UD70 and MD29 can be
configured to act as master controllers, but this requires DPL programming to
control the network.
An RS232-to-RS485 converter with “intelligent transceiver switching” (also known
as “magic” RS485 converters) is required to allow a standard PC serial port to
communicatewitha2wireRS485network. Anexampleofa“magic”converteris
the MA485F converter from Amplicon.
A “magic” converter is not required is the master contoller has an RTS control
output. This output is enabled when the master is transmitting, and disabled
when the master is not transmitting. Control Techniques software packages
(UniSoft, MentorSoft and SystemWise) do NOT switch the RTS line.

2.6 I/O Box Port Connections (MD29 Only)
The I/O Box port is marked “PL2” and is only available on the MD29. The terminal
connections are shown in the table below. Operation of this port is automatic, and
no configuration is necessary.
To use the I/O Box with UD70 or MD29AN, connect it to the RS485 port, and
select Mode 10 communications.
2.7 Digital I/O Connections
The RS485 connector has 2 TTL digital inputs and 1 TTL digital output. They are
used in conjunction with the Timer/Counter unit. (For further details, refer to the
User guide for the UD70 or MD29.)
The 0VSC is isolated from the Unidrive orMentor II0V, and should notbe used
as the reference 0V for the TTL digital inputs and output.
If a digital input is open-circuit or connected to +5V, this willbe read by #86.01
(input 0) or #86.02 (input 1) as logic 0. These parameters will change to logic 1
when the inputs are connected to 0V Digital on pin 9.
The digitaloutput will give +5Vwhen #86.03 is set to logic 0, and 0V when set to
logic 1. The digital output is rated to a maximum of 15mA. The maximum length of
cable that should be connected to these terminals is 0.5 metres, so buffering will be
required for longer lengths of cable, and for interfacing to different logic levels.
The Digital inputs and output must be connected to 0V Digital (pin 9), NOT
OVSC (pin 1). The inputs and output will not work properly if connected to
OVSC, as pin 1 is isolated from the Drive. Noise generated along the screen
of the serial communications cable may cause spurious operation, and
damagetotheUD70orMD29mayresult.

3 RS485 Port Configuration
TheRS485portcanbeusedtocommunicatewiththeDriveusingControl
Techniques' standard software communications packages such as UniSoft,
MentorSoft, CTFile and Systemwise. (Refer to the Help file in Unisoft, MentorSoft,
etc. for connection details.) The ANSI protocol is the standard protocol used by the
Control Techniques' software packages,but Modbus RTU and ASCII modes are
also supported as slave nodesonly.
The RS485 port is configured by setting certain user parameters on the Unidrive or
Mentor II. These control individual features aboutthe port. Anychanges take effect
when the configuration parameters are stored and the UD70 or MD29 is reset.
The following parameters used to configure the RS485 port.
3.1 Node Address
Unidrive: #17.05 Mentor II: #14.01
Range: 11 to 99, excluding 00 to 09, 10, 20, 30, 40, etc for ANSI.
1 to 99 for Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII
Default: 11
Every node on an ANSI or Modbus networkMUST be assigned a unique serial
address. Changes to the node address willnot take effect until the parameters
have been stored,and the UD70 or MD29 has been reset.
The serial address ensures that only the intended node responds to commands
issued by the network master controller. Each node should be assigned a unique
address BEFORE it is connected to the RS485 network.

3.2 Data Rate
Unidrive: #17.07 Mentor II: #14.03
Range: 300 to 38400 bits per second
Default: 4800
Every node on an ANSI or Modbus network must be configured to operate at the
samedata rate. Setthe appropraite valueas shownin the table belowto configure
the RS485 port data rate.
3.3 RS485 Port Communications Modes
Unidrive: #17.06 Mentor II: #14.02
The serial communications mode selectordetermines the mode ofoperation of the
RS485 serial port, and the protocol supported. Only slave modesare described
here. (Modes 6 to 9, 11 and 12 require DPL code to control the RS485.)
3.3.1 Standard CT ANSI Protocol
Mode 1 - 4 Wire ANSI Slave Mode (Default)
Mode 5 - 2 Wire ANSI Slave Mode
The UD70 and MD29 will communicate using the Control Techniques' standard
ANSI protocol with a4-wire or 2-wire connection. Thismode allows the Unidrive or
Mentor IIto communicate with standard CT software packages, such asUniSoft,
MentorSoft, SystemWise, etc.
Menu 0 parameters are not accessible through a UD70 or MD29. Refer to the
User's Guide for MD29 or UD70 for a detailed description of the ANSI protocol.
3.3.2 Modbus RTU
Mode 13 - 4 Wire Modbus RTU Slave Mode
Mode 15 - 2 Wire Modbus RTU Slave Mode
The UD70 and MD29 will communicate using the Modicon Modbus RTU protocol
with a 4-wire or 2-wireconnection. The dataframe used for Modbus RTU is1 start
bit, 8 data bits,no parity, 2 stop bits. (Even parity with 1 stop bitis NOT currently
supported.)
The following MOdbus RTU commands are supported:
FC3 PRESET SINGLE REGISTER
FC6 PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS
FC16 READ MULTIPLE REGISTERS
The maximum number of registers that can be transferred on a single message is
limited to 20, and the range of allowed node addresses is limited from 1 to 99.

3.3.3 Modbus ASCII
Mode 14 - 4 Wire Modbus ASCII Slave Mode
Mode 16 - 2 Wire Modbus ASCII Slave Mode
The UD70 and MD29 will communicate using the Modicon Modbus ASCII protocol
with a 4-wire or 2-wire connection. The data frame used for ModbusRTU is 1 start
bit, 7 data bits,no parity, 2 stop bits.
The following Modbus ASCII commands are supported:
FC3 PRESET SINGLE REGISTER
FC6 PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS
FC16 READ MULTIPLE REGISTERS
The maximum number of registers that can be transferred on a single message is
limited to 20, and the range of allowed node addresses is limited from 1 to 99.
3.3.4 Master/Slave
Mode 2 - Master Mode
Mode 3 - Slave Mode
In Mode 2,the node acts as a master, and continuously broadcasts a source
parameter, as defined by the Pointer parameter,from the RS485 port at a fixed
data rate of 9600 bits/sec. The value of the source parameter is scaled to ±16000.
In Mode 3,the node acts as a slave to receive the continuous data stream
transmittedbyaMode2master.Theincomingdataismultipliedbythescaling
parameter, and written to the destination parameter, as defined by the Pointer
parameter.
If the serial communications link is broken, the slave node can be made to trip. This
is done by setting the Global Trip Enable and RS485 Trip Enable parameters.

3.3.5 Cascade
Mode 4 - Cascade Mode
Mode 4 provides allows UD70 and/or MD29 RS485 ports to be “cascaded”. This
mode is similar to the Master/Slave mode, except that eachnodecan be a slave to
an “upstream” node, AND a master to a “downstream” node.
3.3.6 I/O Box Mode (UD70 and MD29AN only)
Mode 10 - I/O Box Mode
Unlike the MD29, the UD70 and MD29AN do not have a dedicated port for use with
the I/O Box. The general purpose RS485 port can be configured to communicate
directly with an I/O Box by configuring the RS485 portto use Mode 10
communications.
3.4 Storing configuration parameters
In all cases, the configuration parameters must be stored, and the UD70 or MD29
reset before changes will take effect.
