3. 2. 2. 1. Configuring the drive

There are two possible scenarios.

Scenario 1 Using the built-in port when replacing the VW3A58303 Modbus/Unitelway option card

As the PowerSuite software workshop is not able to anticipate this scenario, the communication, address and protocol-format parameters

must be entered manually:

Configuring the address

Transfer the Altivar 58 parameters to the Altivar 71 using the integrated display terminal, the graphic display terminal or the PowerSuite

software workshop:

The configuration of the Modbus network parameters can be accessed via the

[MODBUS NETWORK] (

Md I-) submenu in the

[1.9 – COMMUNICATION] (

COM -) menu.

Configuring the drive control mode

Check and configure the control mode applied to the drive in the [1.6 – COMMAND] (Ct L-) menu on the graphic display terminal,

the integrated display terminal or the PowerSuite software workshop,
