4.1.2. Configuring the Motor Starters

Each motor starter should be configured as follows:

Protocol:

Modbus RTU slave

Start bits

1

Modbus address

1 to 8

Parity

None

Bitrate

19,200 bits/s

Parity bit

0

Data bits

8

Stop bits

1

When using a TeSys U motor starter with a Modbus communication module (LULC031 module), the
configuration parameters for the RS485 connection are automatically detected, only the Modbus address of the
motor starter needs to be configured.

4.1.3. Modbus Cycle Time

The LUFP7 gateway’s default configuration sets a cycle time of 300 ms on Modbus commands for each of the
8 TeSys U motor starters.

4.1.4. Managing Degraded Modes

The default management for degraded modes is described below. This description only applies to a Premium
PLC fitted with a TSX PBY 100 coupler. Please refer to chapter 6.11.2.1 Managing degraded modes, page 71, if
you want to change the degraded mode management of one or several Modbus commands.

(1) The “Outputs” option is described in chapter 4.2.8 Importing the Configuration of the Profibus-DP Network under

PL7 PRO, page 31. Under PL7 PRO, it can be accessed from the configuration screen for the TSX PBY 100 board.

(2) The desired behaviour with regard to the outputs should be directly configured on each of the TeSys U motor starters.

You may also refer to chapter 4.2 Degraded application mode of the Implementation manual – TSX PBY 100 –
PROFIBUS-DP
(ref.: TSX DM PBY 100E) for further details regarding the processing of degraded modes by the
TSX PBY 100 board.
