CFW500 Pump genius and PLC Productivity
Hi guys, I'm new to the MODBUS protocol. I'm going to program two CFW500 VFDs with Pump Genius using multiplex configuration for an application, but I also want to read the values with a productivity PLC. Is this possible if I connect the PLC to the same network node? Or do I need any additional configuration? For the Modbus connection, I'm using a Schneider LU9GC3 hub.
Did you purchase the optional communication module? If yes, which one.
Yes, need to purchase the CFW500-RS485 plug-in module
We do have programming examples at the item level page for each WEG drive:

Yes all you will need to do is connect the PLC to the same network and follow the programming example and that should get you communicating.
