Command channel

Command channel: local or remote command

A command channel gives the possibility to command the motor by the soft starter (start, stop).
it can also read or write parameters.
In local command mode, the Altistart 22 can be set from the display terminal:
Use the 4 keys to enter into the menu.
In remote command, the Altistart 22 soft starter can be set from the remote keypad:
The remote keypad can be used in a similar way than the embedded keypad, it means that the HMI on the remote keypad has the
same behavior as the HMI on the product.
Note: Some command channels can also read or write parameters.

Active channel

Forced local:
LI3= LIL
or
Command word, bit 15 = 1

In this example, LI3 is configured to forced local command (LIL).

If CtrL = Modbus + forced local: its forced local in first.
LOCAL mode: The soft starter is entirely controlled via the terminals. The parameters can be read and written via Modbus. The soft starter
remains in LOCAL mode as long as the CtrL = 0.
FORCED LOCAL mode: The soft starter is entirely controlled via the terminals. Write access to the parameters from the Modbus link is
prohibited. Reading is possible.
Note: LI1 must be activated (LI1 = 1) to allow the remote command.
A switch can be used on LI1 if a local stop by the terminal is needed. In this case, the stop will be in freewheel.

Behavior on channel change

In the COP menu (Advanced communication), the active channel can be changed via CtrL parameter:
Code

Range

Default value

CtrL

command channel

0: local command
1: Remote command: Modbus

CtrL parameter is a configuration parameter that can be modified when the motor is stopped.
In the IO menu (Advanced IO), a Logic input can be assigned to local command: :
Code

Name

Value

LI2
or LI3

Logic input 2
or logic input 3

LIL: Forced Local command

The local remote input is active at level 1.

When the input local remote is active, the active command channel is the local channel.
When the local force function is active from a Logic input, the parameters can only be written by the local HMI or the external keypad. If
written by Modbus function 6 or 16, the exception 1 bad function is sent back.
When the local force function is active, Modbus command word and parameters can be written also by Modbus.
The Logic input assign to "Forced local command" has the priority on bit 15 from Modbus command word. If LI3 is assigned to LIL and
LI3=1, even if bit 15=1 the "Forced local command" is active.
When CTRL = Modbus and LI force local command activated, then a Modbus request 6 or 16 sends back an exception code 1 illegal
function.
When on Modbus, only LI1 stop is taken into account.

Command word
The control register write definition is changed as follows:
The Altistart 22 incorporates one control register intended for controlling the Altistart 22.
Address: The control register address is: 752.
In order to control the Altistart 22 using the control register:
Use Function 16 or function 6
Use Address_High (page) = 2
Use Address_Low = 240 (0F0H)
Write to one register only

Modbus Function

This section describes the connection to the bus or network, signaling, diagnostics, and configuration of the communication-specific
parameters via the 7-segment LED display.
It also describes the communication services of the Modbus protocol.

Modbus Protocol
The transmission mode used is RTU mode. The frame contains no message header byte, nor end of message bytes.
It is defined as follows:
Slave
address

Request code

Data

CRC16

The data is transmitted in binary code.

CRC16: cyclical redundancy check.
The end of the frame is detected on a silence greater than or equal to 3 characters.

Principle
The Modbus protocol is a master-slave protocol.
Master

Only one device can transmit on the line at any time.

The master manages the exchanges and only it can take
the initiative.
It interrogates each of the slaves in succession.
No slave can send a message unless it is invited to do so.
The master repeats the question when there is an incorrect
exchange, and declares the interrogated slave absent if no
response is received within a given time period.
If a slave does not understand a message, it sends an
exception response to the master. The master may or may
not repeat the request.

Slave i
Slave j
Direct slave-to-slave communications are not possible.

Slave k

For slave-to-slave communication, the application software must therefore be designed to interrogate a slave and send back data received
to the other slave.
Two types of dialogue are possible between master and slaves:
the master sends a request to a slave and waits for its response
the master sends a request to all slaves without waiting for a response (broadcasting principle)

Addresses
The soft starter Modbus address can be configured from 1 to 247.
Address 0 coded in a request sent by the master is reserved for broadcasting. ATS22 take account of the request, but do not respond to it.

Response code: request function code + 16#80.

Error code:
1 = The function requested is not recognized by the slave
2 = The bit or word addresses indicated in the request do not exist in the slave
3 = The bit or word values indicated in the request are not permissible in the slave
4 = The slave has started to execute the request but cannot continue to process it completely

CRC16 calculation
The CRC16 is calculated on all the message bytes by applying the following method:
Initialize the CRC (16-bit register) to 16#FFFF.
Enter the first to the last byte of the message:
CRC

XOR

Enter

8 times

<byte> > CRC

Move the CRC one bit to the right

If the output bit = 1, enter CRC XOR 16#A001> CRC
End enter
End enter
The CRC obtained will be transmitted with the low order bytes sent first, followed by the high order ones (unlike the other data contained in
Modbus frames).
XOR = exclusive OR.

No display:
- check that the line supply is present on the control supply CL1/CL2,
- check if a short circuit is not existing on the Modbus network cable (especially between RJ45 pin 7 and RJ45 pin3 or pin8. See
pages 35 and 36).
Check that the code displayed does not correspond to the normal state of the soft starter (see page 46).
Check for the presence of the RUN/STOP commands (see page 37).

Soft starter does not start, trip code displayed

Trip code flashes on the display.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Read and understand this manual before installing or operating the Altistart 22. Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance
must be performed by qualified personnel.
The user is responsible for compliance with all international and national electrical code requirements with respect to grounding of
all equipment.
Many parts of this soft starter, including the printed circuit boards, operate at the line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electrically
insulated tools.
DO NOT touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present.
Before servicing the soft starter:
- Disconnect all power, including external control power that may be present.
- Place a DO NOT TURN ON label on all power disconnects.
- Lock all power disconnects in the open position.
Install and close all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the soft starter.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
