Hi I was wondering if someone could shed some light on a bit of weirdness I'm seeing. I'll preface this by saying that I DO have experience with Modbus RTU. I use it to control Teco Westinghouse VFD's, Eaton VFD's, Davis Instrument weatherstations, and a few other odd bits here and there.
To start off with a new VFD brand I'm trying to just read from a single register. I'm trying to read from a Lenze brand AC Tech SMVector control VFD. According to the documentation drive register 19 should be the VFD Family which will return a value of 72. The drive register is offset by 1, so the modbus register I should be querying is register 20.
If I use my PC's Simply Modbus 8.1 modbus master software I can read register 20 and I get back a value of 72. If I use the PLC I get back a value of 0. Register 19 gives me 0, and register 18 gives me back a value of 150. Super confused because if I try to use register 18 on my PC I get back an error that it is an illegal data address, as it should be according to the documentation.
Wth is going on.
