I have two Altivar 12 drives on a 3 in 1 machine and am trying to send control words to start and stop the drives and change directions as well as send speed to the drives. I have used addresses of 8501 and 8602 and sent both hexadecimal and decimal words to these addresses. I used the table in the user manual to address the proper bits to start the drive and can not get the drive to respond in any way. I am using the Modbus test screen in Mach 3 and can read from the drive. I read known registers and was able to write to the above addresses and read the values back out that I wrote to the drive. I just can't get it to respond. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to write a command and or speed to one of these drives, and if so, how it was done.
Any help is appreciated.
