RS-485 timeout

SEW Eurodrive · MCBSM

What does 43 mean?

Stop without inhibit due to an interruption in the connection between the inverter and the PC. This prevents remote monitoring or control via RS-485, leading to a loss of communication capability.

Common Causes

  • Communication timeout detected on the RS-485 serial port.
  • No response received from a connected device on the RS-485 network.
  • Incorrect baud rate or communication settings (e.g., P7-01, P7-02).
  • Physical wiring issue or termination problem on the RS-485 bus.
