PowerHello everyone!
Many people have messaged thelivingchristmascompany.com to ask how to use LabView to communicate with devices via Modbus RTU using RS485 communication. That’s why today thelivingchristmascompany.com will write a tutorial for you to do this.
The first inverter I used was the Allen Bradley PowerFlex 525 Inverter. Attention, we need to prepare 1 USB to RS485 Cable.

In addition to the basic parameters of the inverter (frequency, voltage, current), we need to set the following communication parameters:

>>> Motor Control Address = 8192
- Set Word 8192 = 18 >>> Motor Forward Run
= 34 >>> Motor Reverse Run
= 1 >>> Stop Run
