MODBUS SERVER fault in Parker AC30 drive indicates a problem with the drive's Modbus server functionality. This can prevent the drive from communicating with other devices on the Modbus network, such as PLCs, HMIs, or other drives.

Common Causes of MODBUS SERVER Faults:

• Configuration Errors: Incorrect Modbus settings or parameters on the drive can prevent proper communication.
• Communication Cable Issues: Damaged, loose, or disconnected communication cables can interrupt the connection between the drive and the Modbus network.
• Network Problems: Issues with the Modbus network, such as network congestion, hardware failures, or software glitches, can cause MODBUS SERVER faults.
• Drive Internal Issues: Faulty components within the drive itself can disrupt Modbus communication.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Verify Modbus Configuration:
   • Ensure that the Modbus settings on the drive are correct and compatible with the Modbus network.
   • Check for any errors or warnings related to Modbus communication in the drive's status messages.
2. Check Communication Cables:
   • Inspect the communication cables for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
   • Ensure that the cables are securely connected to both the drive and the Modbus network.
3. Test Network Connectivity:
   • Check the status of the Modbus network and ensure that there are no connectivity issues.
   • Try communicating with other devices on the network to isolate the problem.
4. Review Drive Status:
   • Check the drive's status messages for any error codes related to Modbus communication.
