Control Techniques Commander C200/C300 drive (needs AI-485 adapter)

Register map(s) for this device, with a note of how far each has been checked. Addresses are 0-based, as on the wire. Scale and byte order are confirmed only at the hardware-verified rung.

coherence-checked

Round-trips through a real Modbus stack with no overlapping addresses and a word-order-sensitive codec — the map is internally coherent and wire-decodable. Does NOT prove byte-order or scaling match a real device: the emulator is seeded from the map's own types, so a uniformly wrong byte-order still round-trips. Only hardware-verified confirms byte-order/scale on the wire.

link settings as documented (unverified): RTU; default 19200 8N2; unit ID 1; FC 03,06,16,23; The communications port applies a 1.25 unit load to the communications network. Default setting is 8 2 NP (8 data bits, 2 stop bits, no parity).

⚠ The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external option unit. — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

bench facts as documented (unverified)

terminals	RJ45 or screw terminals
A/B polarity
termination	120 Ohm termination resistor available on RJ45 pin 1 or screw terminal pin 4
connector	RJ45 or screw terminal block
isolation	Single insulated, meets ELV requirements
shield/ground	Minimum number of connections are 2, 3, 7 and shield
wiring notes	Standard Ethernet cables must not be used when connecting drives on a EIA 485 network as they do not have the correct twisted pairs for the pinout of the serial comms port.
inter-frame delay	20 ms
broadcast	supported
sentinel values
protocol notes	The Modbus slave device increments the register address by 1 before processing the command, which effectively prevents access to parameter Pr 00.000 in the drive or option module.
model register	11.028
serial register	11.052
firmware register	11.029
identification notes	Serial number is split into LS (11.052) and MS (11.053).
FC 43 device ID	not supported
power	24 Vdc backup supply input on AI-Backup adaptor
environment	Pollution Degree 2 environment or better (dry, non-conductive pollution only). Ambient temperature up to 40 °C (up to 55 °C with derating)

⚠ disputed: output_frequency @ 400, output_voltage @ 401, output_power @ 402, motor_rpm @ 403, dc_bus_voltage @ 404, current_magnitude @ 300, torque_producing_current @ 301, analog_input_1 @ 600, analog_input_2 @ 601, drive_ok @ 900, drive_active @ 901, status_word @ 939, active_trip @ 919, motor_rated_current @ 406, motor_rated_speed @ 407, motor_rated_voltage @ 408, motor_rated_power_factor @ 409, motor_rated_frequency @ 405 — disputed by Commander C200/C300 Control User Guide and Parameter Reference Guide. The standard Modbus address formula is (Menu * 100) + Parameter - 1. Therefore, Menu 5 parameters (like output_frequency Pr 05.001) map to 500, not 400. Menu 4 parameters (like current_magnitude Pr 04.001) map to 400, not 300. Menu 7 parameters (like analog_input_1 Pr 07.001) map to 700, not 600. Menu 10 parameters (like drive_ok Pr 10.001) map to 1000, not 900. The entire register map is shifted down by exactly 100 registers.

The trust ladder

Each rung states what it proved and what it did not. Gray until proven; green is earned by hardware only.

generated — A prompt produced it. Unproven — anyone can regenerate this.
structure-verified — Decode path is structurally sound (addresses, widths, finite values). Does NOT prove word order or scaling.
coherence-checked — Round-trips through a real Modbus stack with no overlapping addresses and a word-order-sensitive codec — the map is internally coherent and wire-decodable. Does NOT prove byte-order or scaling match a real device: the emulator is seeded from the map's own types, so a uniformly wrong byte-order still round-trips. Only hardware-verified confirms byte-order/scale on the wire.
hardware-verified (software-key) x1 — Matched a real device with operator-attested readings as ground truth — the only rung that confirms word order + scaling on the wire.
