Example of using the Micrologix1100/1400 RS-485 port to talk directly to an Allen Bradley Powerflex 4 VFD. We use the Micrologix 1100 DF1/RS485 port to connect to the drives and use the following ladder logic to talk to those drives. For each VFD, 1) Write out any new Logic command 2) Read the logic status data 3) Read the drive error codes So, for 4 VFD's their will be a total of 4 * 3 = 12 Rs-485 commands that must be completed, then we start at the top of this loop and do it all over again. Because there are so many commands to send/receive and the RS-485 is so slow, the RS-485 is good enough to get error data but much too slow to actually operate the VFD's. RS-485 Registers 8192 (8193) - Writing Logic Command Data If all bits are zero, no changes (no command). Bit 3: 1 = Clr Faults, 0 = Not Clear Faults 8193 (8194) - Writing Speed Reference (not used) 8448 (8449) - Reading Logic Status Data Bit 7: 1 = Faulted, 0 = Not Faulted 8451 (8452) - Reading Speed Feedback (not used) 8449 (8450) - Reading Drive Error Codes 1 through 104 (2 through 105) - Read / Write Drive parameters D001 through P104 0000

In case we're having trouble reading from the VFD's, clear out any residual data we read from the VFD's the last time we were powered up. This assures us we only see the 'real' VFD data read (error codes).
