Hello everyone,


Page 142 Communicating with the PLC 6.2 MODBUS communication Mapping table The SINAMICS V20 inverter supports two sets of registers (40001 to 40062, 40100 to 40522) as the table below shows. 'R', 'W', 'R/W' in the column Access stand for read, write, read/write. Data sheet for SINAMICS V20 Ordering data Figure similar Mechanical data 145.5 mm ( 5.73 in ) Degree of protection IP20 90.0 mm ( 3.54 in ) Height Net weight 0.90 kg ( 1.98 lb ) Depth Size Width 150.0 mm ( 5.91 in ) FSA Unshielded 50 m (164 ft) Max. Motor cable length Connections Shielded 10 m (33 ft) Mounting position Wall mounting / side-by.
I'm trying to use an arduino Duamelinove to comunicate with a Sinamics V20 inverter via RS485. I have a shield to convert the RS232 from the arduino to the RS485 from the inverter. I also have a RS485/USB adapter to monitor the communication from a computer.
I've loaded the SimpleModbusMaster library example on the arduino, and I'm getting transmission errors on the computer monitor (values different from what was transmited). The inverter receives the signal, but it returns a 'parity error'.
I also tried communicating the inverter with the computer, without the arduino, using a Modbus Master demo and, this time, it returns a 'character structure error'.

Has anyone ever tryied to do something similiar before? I'm not sure if this is even possible as everything I find online mention only communication between Siemens Inverters with Siemens PLCs.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
