Fuji FRENIC-Ace drive

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.

cross-referenced (demoted: under-extracted stub (<=3 regs); needs re-extraction (#52))

Imported from a third-party source and NOT verified by us — not even structure-checked. An unverified claim, shown so you can find the device; trust it no more than the source it came from.

terminalsDX+/DX- (port 2)
connectorRJ45 (port 1)
wiring notesWiring to DX+/DX- terminals is recommended as the RJ45 jack is typically reserved for keypad use.
max registers/read100
protocol notesRead Coil Status is limited to 80 coils maximum. Read Holding Registers is limited to 100 registers maximum. Force Multiple Coils is limited to 16 coils maximum. Preset Multiple Registers is limited to 100 registers maximum.
identification notesModbus registers are organized by drive function code group. The hi-byte of the register address is determined by its function code group; the low byte is determined by the drive function code number.

  • The OPC-PRT3 Multiprotocol Ethernet Interface manual lists S05 (frequency command) as register 1798 and S06 (operation command) as register 1799 due to 1-based addressing, which can cause off-by-one confusion compared to the standard 0-based Modbus RTU addresses of 1797 and 1798. [source]
  • confirmed: Baud rates: [2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400] — confirmed by Fuji Electric FRENIC-Ace Modbus Communications Application Note (FECA-AN-183)
  • confirmed: Default baud: 19200 — confirmed by FECA-AN-183 (y04/y14 default setting is 3, which corresponds to 19200 bps)
  • confirmed: Default unit ID: 1 — confirmed by FECA-AN-183 (y01/y11 default setting is 1)
  • confirmed: Framing: RTU, TCP (via OPC-PRT option card) — confirmed by FECA-AN-183
  • confirmed: Function codes: [1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16] — confirmed by FECA-AN-183
  • confirmed: Parity: N, Stop bits: 2 — confirmed by FECA-AN-183 (y06/y16 default setting is 0, which corresponds to None parity with 2 stop bits)
  • confirmed: Modbus registers are organized by drive function code group. The hi-byte of the register address is determined by its function code group; the low byte is determined by the drive function code number. — confirmed by FECA-AN-183
  • confirmed: RJ45 (port 1), DX+/DX- (port 2). Wiring to DX+/DX- terminals is recommended as the RJ45 jack is typically reserved for keypad use. — confirmed by FECA-AN-183
