1-2 GPD 515 and Serial Communication
Introduction to GPD 515 Modbus RTU Communication
This manual describes the set-up and protocol for Modbus Communication. The GPD 515 offers
RS-232D serial communication as a standard, and RS-485 as an option.
The Modbus RTU protocol requires that the controller communicates using a master-slave
technique, in which only one device (the master) can initiate transactions. The other devices (the
slaves) respond by supplying the requested data to the master, or by taking the action requested.
The GPD 515 drive must act in the slave mode.
A complete understanding of drive programming and operation is required before attempting
serial communication operation. A full discussion of programming and operation is covered in the
GPD 515 technical manual TM 4515.
GPD 515 / Modbus RTU Specifications
The data that may be sent or received from the drive consists of:
-Run Command
-Frequency Reference
-Fault Contents
-Drive Status
-Drive Parameter Settings
The following table illustrates whether the serial communication specifications are fixed or user
selectable. If the specification is fixed, the fixed value is shown in the last column. If the
specification is selectable, the range of allowed values is shown in the last column.
Communication Specification Fixed or Selectable Range
Baud Rate Selectable 2400, 4800, or 9600 bps
Data Bit Fixed 8
Parity Selectable None, Even, or Odd
Stop Bit Fixed 1
Nodes RS-232D point-to-point only
Nodes Selectable for RS-485 maximum of 31 nodes
Standard RS-232D Serial Communication
The GPD 515 drive offers RS-232D serial communications as a standard feature of the drive.
RS-232D has a maximum transmission distance of 50 feet. RS-232D only allows point-to-point
communications. The specifications for wiring and pin outs for RS-232D are given in Chapter 2.

GPD 515 and Serial Communication 1-3
The RS-232D to RS-485 Converter Board
The GPD 515 offers RS-485 serial communications as an option. RS-485 allows a maximum
transmission distance of 4000 feet. RS-485 allows multidrop (multiple devices) communication.
To obtain RS-485 communications an optional converter board must be purchased. This
RS-232D to RS-485 Converter Board is represented by the MagneTek part number CM085.
Read this manual thoroughly before installation, operation, maintenance, and inspection of the
CM085 Option Board.
CAUTION
The CM085 option board employs CMOS technology which may be damaged by static electricity.
Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling this board.
The CM085 board is used to convert the drive’s RS-232D standard function to offer RS-485
interface. The following diagram illustrates the CM085 board. (The figure is not actual size.)

RS-232D Serial Communication
RS-232D Serial Communication is accessed through connector 6CN on the GPD 515ís control
board. Pin 1 on the 6CN connector is for the transmission of data, Pin 2 is for the receipt of data,
and pin 4 is for the ground connection. The RS-232D pin out is shown in the diagram below.

Cable Specifications:
-cable should be a shielded, thin twisted wire 22-28 AWG
-cable pinout is as follows:
Computer - 9 Pin Female
