Supported device types and versions
The protocol is used for communication with vector control frequency converters VQfrem 400 (for 3 x 400 V motors) from VONSCH. Reading values from inverters is supported. Commanding or writing values is not supported.
Communication line configuration
- Communication line category: Serial, SerialOverUDP Device Redundant (serial communication).
- Note: serial communication has been tested with a VQfrem 400 with 609h firmware.
Serial line setting: 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, RS-485 interface.
The serial line speed is configurable on the drive (2400 - 19200 baud).
Communication station configuration
- Communication protocol: VONSCH VQfrem 400.
- The station address is a 16-bit number (1-32767). It can be entered decimally (e.g. 1 or 1234) or hexadecimally using a hash (e.g. #0001 or #4D2).
Address 32768 (#8000) serves as a broadcast for commanding - all devices receive it, but none respond to it.
Station protocol parameters
Communication station - configuration dialog box - tab Protocol parameters.
They influence some of the optional parameters. You can set the following station protocol parameters:
Table 1
| Parameter | Meaning | Unit | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|
Full Debug | Logging of detailed debug information about communication in the line log. | - | NO |
Retry Count | Maximum count of request retries. If no response returns after a request had been sent, the station's status will change to a communication error. | - | 2 |
Retry Timeout | Timeout before resending a request if no response has been received. | ss.ms | 0.1 |
Wait First Timeout | The delay after sending the request and before reading the response. | ss.ms | 0.1 |
Wait Timeout | The delay between the response readings. | ss.ms | 0.1 |
Max Wait Retry | The maximum number of retries of the response reading. | - | 6 |
I/O tag configuration
I/O tags: Ai, Ci
I/O tag address
The address of the I/O tag is a 16-bit number (1-65535). It can be entered decimally (e.g. 1 or 1234) or hexadecimally using a hash (e.g. #0001 or #4D2).

All values are transmitted as 16-bit numbers. The KOM process interprets them as signed or positive by address
(signed are #0025-#0027, #002B, #002C, #003F-#0041, #0043, #0049-#004a).
If the number is fractional, the corresponding linear conversion must be entered in the I/O tag configuration in the Conversion tab (e.g. coefficient A=0.1 for #0030, A=0.01 for #0028).
