Protocol
The parameter access method supported by the G7 drive is a subset of the Modbus
♦
communication protocol, which Yaskawa refers to as
MEMOBUS. The G7 drive supports Modbus functions 3, 6, 8 and 10h. The message format varies depending upon the function code of the
message. For each function code, there is a command message from the master and a response message from the slave. The following sections
review the format of the command and response messages for each function.
