13.7 Toshiba 3-Series ASD Protocol

The gateway can act as an RS232 master for Toshiba 3-series ASDs (G3, H3, E3 etc.) Use of the ICC “Toshiba 3-Series ASD Interface Cable” (ICC part #10603) or an equivalent cable is required to connect the gateway’s RS232 port to the drive’s on-board RS232 port.

The following ASD parameters (in GROUP:COMMUNICATION SETTING PARAMETERS) must be set as indicated:

RS232 BAUD RATE.........................

2

(9600 baud)

NUMBER OF DATA

BITS................

1

(8 bits)

PARITY SETTING

...........................

0

(even parity)

Remember that the drive must be reset whenever communication-related parameters are changed in order to activate the change.

All parameter writes use the drive’s RAM / EEPROM data write (“W”) command. For all writes that target the drive’s EEPROM, be sure to follow Toshiba’s guidelines regarding the number of times a specific parameter can be written without risk of EEPROM damage.

Point parameter number entry radix is hexadecimal (e.g. 10 = 0x0010 or 1610).

The available ASD parameters are as indicated in the tables starting in section 13.7.1. For further details on how to interpret these tables, please refer to the Toshiba G3 RS232C Communications Manual (Toshiba part number 42709) or the Toshiba INV3-MODBUS-RTU Communications Manual (ICC part number 10028).
