Quickstart Guide
ABB PLC and drives integration using Modbus RTU
Actualization rate
Be aware that on a Modbus RTU line only one Modbus job is performed at a time. That means that the update
rate of the variables increases with the number of active Modbus blocks, such as ACS_COM_MOD_RTU,
ACS_MOD_READ_N_PRM of ACS_MOD_WRITE_N_PRM.
The ACS_COM_MOD_RTU function block automatically reads the actual data all the time and executes a write job
each time the Control Word or the reference values (speed or torque) have changed.
