[adam_lhadi]

Hi everyone
I have a Harvest VFD VB5N 0.75Kw it have an ethernet port and RS485
is it possible to control it with s7-1200 plc via the ethernet cable ,is there a specific software to use for the vfd readings
does the tia portal (and s7-1200 PLCs) works (communicate) only with some VFD
i have already control it with it's 0-5v analog input ,but now i want to control it via ethernet

Kind reagards

What communication protocols does the VFD support? Check them against the communication protocols that the S7-1200 supports. If they speak the same language then they can communicate.
