CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, can result in injury or equipment
damage.

Please Note
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. No
responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material. This 3
document is not intended as an instruction manual for untrained persons. 1 Master

and its installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. 4 RS485 Interface

1. Integration in a Network (Serial Communication) 2.1 Shielded wire

If both sides of the shielded wire are connected to the SG terminal, the circuit is closed between the shielded wire and
the ground. As a result, current will run through the shielded wire and this may cause noise. Be sure to ground the SG terminal.

1 CAUTION
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Connect only 1 side of the shielded wire (TWDXCAFJ010) to the Shielding Ground (SG) terminal so that current
RS-485 cannot flow to the shielded wire.

 Function code A request message from the master is composed of data item, number of data and setting data.
The function code is the command code for the slave to undertake the following action types. A response message from the slave is composed of number of bytes, data and exception codes in negative
acknowledgement.
Function code Contents The number of data to be dealt with in one message is “1”. Therefore the number of data is fixed as 0001H. The
Reading the set value and information from slaves number of response byte is 02H.

When acknowledgement is returned, the slave simply returns the original function code. When negative 16-bit data is appended to the end of message in sequence from low order to high order.
acknowledgement is returned, the MSB of the original function code is set as 1 for the response.
For example, when the master sends request message setting 10H to the function code by mistake, slave How to calculate CRC-16
returns 90H by setting the MSB to 1, because the former is an illegal function. In the CRC-16 system, the information is divided by polynomial series. The remainder is added to the end of the
For negative acknowledgement, the exception codes below are set to the data of response message and information and transmitted. The generation of polynomial series is as follows. (Generation of polynomial series:

Data depends on the function code. 6 XOR is calculated with the next data and X. This is assumed as X.
A request message from the master is composed of data item, number of data and setting data. 7 Repeat steps 3 to 5.
A response message from the slave is composed of number of bytes, data, and exception code in negative
acknowledgements. 8 Repeat steps 3 to 5 up to the last data.
The number of data to be dealt with in one message is “1”. Therefore, the number of data is fixed as (30H) (30H) 9 Set X as CRC-16 to the end of the message in sequence from low order to high order.
