Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 1 You will need a frequency converter (hereinafter referred to as the FC) with support for Modbus RTU control, such as Sunfar E500, to control the spindle via Modbus via the PLCM-B1-G2 expansion board.
writer 2.1 2
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 3 Modbus spindle control setting procedure:
writer 2.1 4
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 5 1. Set FC to the control mode using the Modbus RTU protocol (RS-485) and remember the COM port settings in FC (count of bits per second, data bits, parity and stop bits).

writer 2.1 22
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 23 Create new Modbus-master. Number of COM port is PLCM. The rest of the settings should be exactly the same as in the FC (in the screenshot, an example of a standard configuration of the COM port of Sunfar E500).

writer 2.1 26
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 27 You need to add registers to control the FC and read statuses from FC. For example you need to configure registers named **SpindleMode**, **SpindleRPM** and **SpindleStatus**.
writer 2.1 28
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 29 We recommend using exactly these names, since in the future, registers will be accessed from background operations by their names.

Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 43 5. Create new background operation (macro) through [[the macro manager>>doc:Руководство пользователя.Описание M-кодов.Управление макросами и фоновыми операциями.WebHome]].
writer 2.1 44
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 45 The main task of the background macro is to monitor the current state and spindle speed and send the values to the frequency converter via Modbus.
writer 2.1 46
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 47 An example of [[background operation>>doc:Руководство пользователя.Описание фоновых операций.Создание фоновой операции.WebHome]] **modbus_spindle.bm** for ModBus spindle control posted in attachment. This file must be added to background operations list.

51 {{warning}}
Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 52 Access to Modbus registers from macros is done by the name of the Modbus register case sensitive! For example, **SpindleRPM** and **SpindleRpm** are different registers.

Edgar Allan Poe 14.1 61 The spindle should now turn on and off if everything is configured correctly. The spindle speed accordingly must also change at the FC when it changing in PUMOTIX.
