the following functionality:

Automatic Baud Rate Detection from 9.6kpbs to 12mbps
Cyclic Process Data Exchange
Parameter Access via DPV-1 Read / Write Services

Setting up the frequency converter for control via this interface proceeds as follows:

Set the drive to Fieldbus control mode by setting parameter P1-12 = 4
Ensure Advanced Parameter Access is enabled on the drive by setting P1-14 = 101
Set the required node address for the drive in P5-01
Further drive parameter setting options are possible, please read the Optidrive

When configuring the Profibus network in the PLC, it is important to ensure that the output data sent from
the PLC to the drive is in a lower slot number than the input data from the drive back to the PLC.
