NOTE: During startup, because the default fallback mode is "forced stop", if no communication has
previously been established, the red "ERR" LED will flash after one minute (default timeout value).
Addressing Using Switches

The Modbus communication module address is defined by switches located on the underside of the
module. Simply turn the module over to access them:
The range of accepted values is between 1 and 31.

The address coding is in binary format.
The least significant bit is on the right, indicated by .
Address 0 is not taken into account by the module, since it is used by the Master for a broadcast request.
Caution: Address selection differs from that on the LULC031 Modbus communication module.
NOTE: Addressing is only taken into account when the communication module is powered up.

Power-up with an LUCM Multifunction Control Unit

LUCM and Power Base
The power-supply source must be the same for the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module and
the LUCM multifunction control unit.
It is essential that the LUCM multifunction control unit and the LULC032-033 Modbus communication
module are powered up simultaneously. Indeed, monitoring of the internal dialog between the LUCM and
the LULC032-033 will produce two error messages depending on the order in which these objects were
powered up.
When the A1-A2 terminals are not yet powered up (24V ), there are 3 possible scenarios for powering
up the 24V Aux:
Powering up

Simultaneously Recommended
The "M15" fault is displayed. This only occurs when the LULC032-033 Modbus
1st 2nd communication module has already been used with the LUCM multifunction control
unit.
The LUCM control unit is identified by the LULC032-033 Modbus communication
module when the 24 V Aux for the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module is
switched on.
2nd 1st
If the 24 V Aux for the LUCM control unit is switched on for longer than twice the
duration of the timeout (i.e., more than 1 s), the "M101" fault is displayed (register
451, communication module internal faults).
NOTE: Both these faults are reset by powering down and then powering up the LULC032-033 Modbus
communication module (power cycle) and the LUCM control unit.
LUCM and Controller Base
The 24 V module power supply is provided by the LUTM controller.
1743234 03/2009 19
Power Supply for the LULC032 and Outputs OA1, OA3 and LO1
In order to operate, the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module must be powered by a 24 V
source:
 With a power base, the LULC033 must be powered by an external source.
 With a controller base, the LULC032 or LULC033 is powered directly.

Connection to the RS485 Bus
General
There are several ways in which the user can connect the communication module to the RS 485 bus:
 Direct connection to the bus via a VW3A8306TF•• T-junction box
 Connection to the bus via a splitter box
 Connection to the bus via SCA type junction boxes
For Interference Protection:

Use the Schneider Electric cable with 2 pairs of shielded twisted conductors (references: TSXCSA100,
TSXCSA200, TSXCSA500, VW3A8306TF••).
Keep the Modbus cable away from the power cables (at least 30 cm).
Create crossovers of the Modbus cable and the power cables at right-angles, if necessary.
NOTE: For more information, consult guide TSX DG KBL F: "Electromagnetic Compatibility of Industrial
Networks and Fieldbuses".
The RS 485 standard allows variants of some characteristics:
 Polarization
 Line terminator
 Number of slaves
 Length of bus
The new Modbus specification, published in 2002 on the Modbus.org site, defines all these character-
istics precisely. All new Schneider Electric devices conform to this specification.
Connection to the Bus via a Tee

The standard diagram corresponds to the Modbus specification published in 2002 on the Modbus.org site
(Modbus_over_serial_line_V1.pdf, Nov 2002) and in particular to the 2-wire multidrop serial bus diagram.
The LULC032-033 Modbus communication module conforms to this specification.
The simplified diagram is as follows:
Master
Slave 1 Slave 2
1743234 03/2009 23
The characteristics for direct connection to the bus are as follows:
Designation Description
Type of trunk cable Single shielded twisted pair cable and at least a 3rd conductor
Maximum length of bus 1000 m at 19,200 bps with the Schneider Electric TSX CSA•• cable
Maximum number of stations 32 stations, i.e., 31 slaves
(without repeater)
Maximum length of tap-offs  20 m for one tap-off
 40 m divided by the number of tap-offs on the multiple junction box
Bus polarization  A 450 to 650 ohm pulldown resistor at the 5 V

 A 450 to 650 ohm pulldown resistor at the Common
This polarization is recommended for the master. There is no polarization at the

RS 485 terminal on the communication module.
Line terminator A 150 ohm resistor +/- 5%
Common polarity Yes (Common), connected to the protective ground in at least one point on the bus
Connection to the Bus via a Splitter Box

The connection diagram for connection to the bus via a splitter box is as follows:
1 Master (PLC, PC or communication module)

2 Modbus cable depending on the type of master (with polarization integrated on the master side or on another part
of the bus)
3 Modbus splitter box LU9 GC3
4 Modbus drop cables VW3 A8 306 R••
5 Line terminators VW3 A8 306 R
6 Modbus T-junction boxes VW3A8306TF•• (with cable)
7 Modbus cable (to another splitter box) TSX CSA•00 (replaces (5))
NOTE: It is advisable to place a line terminator at each end of the bus to avoid malfunctions on the
communication bus. This means that a tee should not have a free connector. It is either connected to a
slave or to the master, or there is a line terminator.
NOTE: It is important to connect the bus to the "IN" input (or the screw terminals on the bottom) of the
splitter box. Connection to another splitter box is made via the "OUT" output.

Introduction
Once the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module hardware implementation phase is complete,
the software implementation can begin. It focuses on configuration (the various operating modes), and
the function parameters to be set (e.g., protection, current measurement, etc.).

Introduction
This chapter describes how to start up the LULC032-033 communication module by means of the
Modbus registers. It provides general information, describes the data-exchange format, the product’s
factory configuration and how it can be customized, and also the Modbus read and write requests.

General Information on Start-up via the Registers
All the LULC032-033 communication module settings are implemented - or simply displayed - via the
Modbus registers.
Access to Parameters
The module I/O parameters are set by one of the following three methods:
 The Modbus RJ45 port, via the application PLC
 The LUCM multifunction control unit’s terminal port
 Locally, via the LUCM multifunction control unit’s keypad
42 1743234 03/2009
Data-Exchange Format
Modbus Format
Communication is based on the slave Modbus RTU protocol.
The data format is as follows:
1 start bit 8 data bits 1 parity bit 1 stop bit
NOTE: The detailed format of these requests is explained on the www.Modbus.org site.
Initialization
Initialization consists of two phases:
When the auxiliary 24 V is powered up, the LULC032-033 Modbus communication

module is initialized:
 The addressing is taken into account.
 The type of control unit is taken into account.
At the end of the initialization phase, the LULC032-033 Modbus communication

module automatically identifies the configuration parameters (speed and parity) of
the RS 485 link as soon as traffic is detected on the network.
After analysis of up to 20 frames at a speed of 19,200 baud, initialization continues
(at 1200 baud, the number of frames is higher):
 The default or configured speed is taken into account.
 The Master parity is taken into account.
Read-Write Zones
The memory zone from 0 to 19,999 can be accessed by the client.
- Reading the zone of a 'Reserved' register (or non-set) causes a correct response (value 0).
- Writing to the zone of a 'Reserved' register causes a correct response (value 0). The write operation is
not taken into account and the contents remain equal to 0.
- Writing to the zone of a 'Read only' register causes a response with an exception code (code 03).
The memory zone 2000 is private and therefore reading/writing is not authorized. All accesses will be
signaled by an exception code (code 02).
Exception Code
The presence of an exception code is indicated by the report from the PLC (refer to the Modbus master
module documentation).
The Modbus exception codes supported are as follows:
Value of the exception code Name Comment

Hexadecimal Decimal
0x01 1 Illegal function Unknown request code
 Register address invalid
 Access to the private memory
zone (address  20000)
0x02 2 Illegal data address  Writing to a "read-only" register
The memory zone is prohibited in

both read and write modes
 Invalid value
0x03 3 Illegal data value
The write command is interrupted
1743234 03/2009 43
Speed and Parity

The recognized values are as follows:
Possible values Factory value

Speed 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 baud. 19,200 baud
Parity Even, odd, no parity (parity bit deleted). Even*
TSX Micro or Premium Platform

Applications for Micro and Premium PLCs are designed and implemented using PL7 software.
READ_VAR or WRITE_VAR requests (see Modbus Requests and Programming Examples) are used to
read or write respectively the value of one or more consecutive objects of the same type (bit, word), in
PL7 language.
NOTE: For more details concerning Modbus communication programming within a TSX platform, refer
to the PL7 online help, Communication Volume 2/Modbus communication.
44 1743234 03/2009
Factory Configuration
The communication module parameters are set in order to determine:

 The operating mode
 The reset mode for thermal overload faults
 The correspondence between the communication module outputs and the LUTM controller inputs
The parameter registers (Modbus protocol) are accessible in read/write mode. The factory-set values are
as follows:

Customizing Your Configuration
You can use the factory settings (see Factory Configuration) or customize your configuration.
The following parameters can be set:
 Control unit configuration
 Control unit ID
 Timeout duration
 Fallback mode
 Control mode with a LUTM controller.
 Inversion of the output states
 Assignment of outputs LO1, OA1, OA3, 13 and 23
 Recovery after stopping
 Control unit forcing
WARNING
UNEXPECTED OPERATION
A configuration can be loaded or edited via both Modbus ports (via the communication module or via
the control unit LUCM). One configuration can then overwrite another, as the system does not prevent
such an action. The result is not certain.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Control unit configuration (Reg 602)

Register 602 (accessible in read/write mode) is used to configure the control unit (reset mode 602.0-2,
and communication 602.4).
Reg• Value Comment

602.0 1 Resetting is manual (by default). Bits 1 and 2 are at 0.
0 You have activated either bit 1 (remote reset) or bit 2
(automatic reset)
602.4 1 Communication with the LUCM/MT multifunction control
unit has been activated.
0 When forced to 0, this bit inhibits communication
between the LUCM/MT multifunction control unit and the
LULC032-033 Modbus communication module.
Control unit configuration (Reg 680)

The control unit is identified each time the communication module is powered up.
However, the multifunction control unit memorizes the reference of the communication module
assembled with it.
To use a multifunction control unit on its own, once it has been used with a communication module,
identification register 680 is reinitialized locally via the keypad in the menu (Id = 0) or via the remote LUCM
Modbus terminal port (value 0 written to register 680).
Timeout Duration (Reg 681)

Register 681 (accessible in read/write mode) is used to set or read the value of the timeout on loss of
communication with the PLC. Following loss of communication, the timeout corresponds to the time
before switching to fallback mode. Loss of communication results in a warning, which is signaled by
register 460 = 109.

Register 682 (accessible in read/write mode) is used to configure the fallback mode in the event of loss
of communication with the PLC.

WARNING
AUTOMATIC RESTART OF THE MOTOR
When communication stops,outputs OA1-OA3 take the status corresponding to the selected fallback
mode (register 682), but command bits 704.0 and 704.1 are not modified.
During the loss of communication warning (register 703 or push button on the controller), the motor will
restart automatically if command bits 704.0 or 704.1 have not been reset to zero first by the PLC
application.

NOTE: Commands transmitted during communication are passed directly to the output relays, without
wiring between the communication module outputs and inputs I.1 and I.2.
Inversion of output states (Reg 684)

Depending on requirements (signaling, run, stop, etc.), it is possible to assign NO or NC behavior to
outputs OA1, OA3 and LO1, by configuring register 684.
To do this, define the output concerned ==> register 684.
Power base Bit

Invert output OA1 _.0 = 1
Invert output OA3 _.1 = 1
Invert output LO1 _.2 = 1
Modifying Output Assignments

The tables below show how the assignments of outputs LO1, OA1, OA3, 13, and 23 can be modified. To
modify the assignments (factory values), write a different value (0 to 45), referring to the 'TeSys U
Communication Variables' User’s Manual.
WARNING
Before modifying an output's assignment by means of parameterization, you must note the following
information. Otherwise, you run the risk of unexpected operation.
Register 704 is used for controlling the motor-starter. The following are associated with this register:
functions for monitoring loss of communication, fallback mode (register 682), reflex functions or recovery
mode after stopping (register 688). Only the outputs activated by bits 704.0 and 704.1 benefit from these
functions.
In addition, command bits 704.0 and 704.1 are independent and can be activated simultaneously.
Using register 700 to activate outputs is comparable with unconditional forcing.
Setting the parameters of output LO1 (Reg 685 LSB)

Assignment/control (factory value) of output LO1 on the LULC032 Modbus communication module is as
follows:

If you use register 704 to control outputs OA1-OA3, writing the value 1 to register 688 allows you to lock
the motor and prevent it restarting following the occurrence of certain events:
 Loss followed by restoration of 24V DC (outputs OA1-OA3)
 Change in position of rotary knob on power base followed by return to Ready position.
When one of these events occurs, command bits 704.0 and 704.1 (outputs OA1-OA3) are forced to 0
automatically. As long as one of these events remains pending, if values are written to register 704, the
module will return exception code 02. Once these conditions have disappeared, control of the motor can
be restored by sending a new run command.
WARNING
AUTOMATIC RESTART OF THE MOTOR
In the case of cyclic writing to register 704 (e.g., an LUFP• gateway in its predefined configuration), this
monitoring function must be used with caution. The application program must take this state into
account and request that bits 704.0 or 704.1 are written to 0. Otherwise, when this event disappears,
the motor will restart automatically.

Forcing control unit (Reg 690)

The control unit is identified automatically, but identification can be forced.
Value Comment
0 Default value. The system automatically identifies the type of control unit
connected (standard, advanced, multifunction).
1 If the value is set to 1, this deactivates automatic identification and forces
identification of a standard or advanced control unit.
2 If the value is set to 2, this deactivates automatic identification and forces
identification of a multifunction control unit.
NOTE: (Read/Write) registers 681 to 690 can also be accessed via the LUCM keypad.

Modbus Requests and Programming Examples
Modbus Requests
The recognized Modbus requests are as follows:
Code value
Name Comment
Hexadecimal Decimal
0x03 3 Read multiple registers Read mode
0x06 6 Write single register
Write mode
0x10 16 Write multiple registers
Read mode for identifying the LULC032-033 Modbus
0x2B 43 Read register identification
communication module
The maximum number of registers per request is limited to 100.

NOTE: The "Broadcast" function is supported. To use it, a write operation (code 6 or 16) to address 00
is necessary.
WARNING
Use of this device on a Modbus network that uses the broadcast function should be considered with
caution.
This device has a large number of registers that must not be modified during normal operation.
Unintended writing of these registers by the broadcast function may cause unexpected and unwanted
product operation.
For more information, refer to the "Internal Communication Variables" User’s Manual.
Example of a Read Operation

The example below describes a READ_VAR request, within a TSX Micro or Premium platform, in order
to read the motor-starter states at address 4 (slave no. 4) contained in internal word MW0:
1 Address of the module with which you wish to communicate: 3 (module address), 0 (channel), 4 (module address
on the bus)
2 Type of PL7 objects to be read: MW (internal word)
3 Address of the first register to be read: 455
4 Number of consecutive registers to be read: 1
5 Word table containing the value of the objects read: MW0:1
6 Read report: MW100:4
Example of a Write Operation

The example below describes a WRITE_VAR request, within a TSX Micro or Premium platform, in order
to control a motor-starter by sending the content of internal word MW 502:
1 Address of the module with which you wish to communicate: 3 (module address), 0 (channel), 4 (module address
on the bus)
2 Type of PL7 objects to be written: MW (internal word)
3 Address of the first register to be written: 704
4 Number of consecutive registers to be written: 1
5 Word table containing the value of the objects to be sent: MW502:1
6 Write report: MW200:4

Use of the Main Registers for Simplified Management
Before implementing a motor-starter, it is useful to know which of the main registers are invoked, and in
what order.
Diagram of Register Usage

The diagram below provides basic implementation information, using the following registers:
configuration, control and monitoring (system state, measurements, faults and warnings,
acknowledgment). Starting with the factory configuration (predefined), you will easily be able to follow or
anticipate how your system behaves.

Displaying Faults
The presence of a fault is signaled by various indicators:

 State of the LEDs on the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module
With a power base:
 State of the power base rotary knob (0 or "trip")
 State of the output relays
With a controller base:
 State of the LEDs on the controller base
 State of the output relays
With a standard or advanced control unit:
 Internal signals sent to the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module
With a multifunction control unit:
 Warning
 Message(s) displayed on-screen
 Internal dialog with the LULC032-033 Modbus communication module
 Presence of an exception code (report from the PLC). See Exception Code, page 43.
NOTE: The warning and the fault are taken into account in the relevant registers. For more information,
refer to the "TeSys U Communication Variables" User’s Manual: fault monitoring registers (450 to 452)
and warning monitoring registers (460 to 461).

Description of Reflex Stop Functions
The reflex stop ensures accurate repeated position control, unhindered by the bus and PLC scan times.
There are two types of reflex stop function:
 Reflex1: "Reflex stop 1" function
 Reflex2: "Reflex stop 2" function
Description of Reflex1
Sensor no. 1 (logic input LI1) directly controls motor stopping.
After a new run command (stop command then run command), the motor restarts even if something is
still detected (LI1=1).
1 Bus 2 Sensor no. 1 (LI1)
NOTE: In the case of a reversing starter, the reflex stop works in both directions.
Data sequence
62 1743234 03/2009
Description of Reflex2
Sensor no. 1 (logic input LI1) controls motor stopping in forward mode.
Sensor no. 2 (logic input LI2) controls motor stopping in reverse mode.
After a new run command (stop command then run command), the motor restarts even if something is
still detected (LI1 or LI2 = 1).
1 Bus 2 Sensor no. 1 (LI1) 3 Sensor no. 2 (LI2)
NOTE: Sensor no. 2 (LI2) does not affect forward mode and sensor no. 1 (LI1) does not affect reverse
mode.
1743234 03/2009 63
Use of Reflex1 and Reflex2
To use a "reflex stop" function, it must be selected in the register of the output to be monitored.

NOTE: Before using the "reflex stop" functions, outputs OA1/OA3 must first be assigned to the
forward/reverse directions. This selection is made in register 686. By default, OA1 is assigned to forward
and OA3 to reverse.
Reflex1.Fw
This function is active on a rising edge and not on the level.
LI1 = 1 stops the motor, irrespective of the chosen direction of operation.

.Fw After a new run command (stop command followed by a run command),
even if logic input LI1 = 1,
the motor restarts in the chosen direction.
NOTE: Logic input LI2 is not used.
Reflex1.Rev
LI1 = 1 stops the motor, irrespective of the chosen direction of operation.

.Rev After a new run command (stop command followed by a run command),
the motor restarts in the chosen direction.
NOTE: Logic input LI2 is not used.
Reflex2.Fw
Logic input LI1 = 1 stops the motor in forward mode.

Logic input LI2 = 1 stops the motor in reverse mode.
.Fw After a new run command (stop command followed by a run command),
the motor restarts.
NOTE: Logic input LI2 does not affect forward mode and logic input LI1 does not affect reverse mode.
Reflex2.Rev
Logic input LI2 = 1 stops the motor in reverse mode.

Logic input LI1 = 1 stops the motor in forward mode.
.Rev
After a new run command (stop command followed by a run command),
the motor restarts.
NOTE: Logic input LI2 does not affect forward mode and logic input LI1 does not affect reverse mode.
