VFD Modbus Mesa 7i96S pktUART

Hey everybody,
as the title suggests I am trying to setup Modus between my Mesa 7i96s and my VFD (Stepperonline H100/EV50 Series 2.2kW).
I have already flashed the Mesa with the pktUART and made a cable with 330Ohm pullup and pulldown resistors.
The part I'm struggling with is the mesa modbus config file especially the addresses.
The vfd manual states the possilble function codes as 0x03, 0x00 and 0x10 and mentiones that the ram addresses are parameter number -1 +32768.
Plus there are some common address tables. But I don't get how to transfer these numbers to N x 8bit for the config file.
Maybe someone of you could point me in the right direction? 
Since the manual is to big to be directly attached, here is the link 
www.omc-stepperonline.com/index.php?rout...Full_User_Manual.pdf
The modbus communication is detailed beginning at page 117

Thanks and cheers, christian

Okay so I made some steps. The modbus driver looks like this now:
static const hm2_modbus_chan_descriptor_t channels[] = {
/*  {TYPE,     FUNC, ADDR,   COUNT, pin_name} */
// Create 8 HAL bit pins coil-00 .. -07 supplying the values of coils at 0x0000
    {HAL_S32,   6,   0xC122, 1,     "controlbit"},
    {HAL_S32,   6,   0xC441, 1,     "speed"},
    {HAL_S32,   3,   0x43F6, 1,     "status"},
    };

The driver loads and a I can see them in the hal configuration. Should I be able to control them in the hal configuration via the set command? Since the controlbit does different things depending on its value I think I have to use the enum function. I'll keep on documenting my progress here. If somebody has input to jumpstart my journey it would be greatly appreciated.

Other somewhat obvious things are that you need to have
the modbus baudrate and channel set in your hal file

Thanks for the reply. I've got the baudrate set to 19200 both in the vfd and the hal.
What do you mean with channel? If you mean the address, I dind't set it because the vfd uses per default address 1.
My problem at the moment is, that I can't get rid of the errorcode 11. The 330Ohm resitors are connected as mentioned in one of your previous posts. I already switched the polarity more than ones. Set the update-hz to 1Hz. But still no luck getting rid of the error.

You must set the address in hal to match your devices address.
A mis-matched address guarantees a no response error (error 11)

Just went back into the workshop to check. I assumed that "modname.address (default 0x01)" means it uses per default 1 if not set different. But no that didn't work either. Just for reference, here is my actual configuration:

HAL:
loadrt VFD_modbus ports=hm2_7i96s.0.pktuart.0
addf VFD_modbus.00 servo-thread
setp VFD_modbus.00.address 1
setp VFD_modbus.00.baudrate 19200
setp VFD_modbus.00.update-hz 1

VFD_modbus.mod:
/*
The format of the channel descriptors is:
 
{TYPE, FUNC, ADDR, COUNT, pin_name}
 
TYPE is one of HAL_BIT, HAL_FLOAT, HAL_S32, HAL_U32
FUNC = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16 - Modbus commands
COUNT = number of coils/registers to read
*/
 
#define MAX_MSG_LEN 16   // may be increased if necessary to max 251
 
static const hm2_modbus_chan_descriptor_t channels[] = {
/*  {TYPE,     FUNC, ADDR,   COUNT, pin_name} */
// Create 8 HAL bit pins coil-00 .. -07 supplying the values of coils at 0x0000
    {HAL_U32,   6,   0x0122, 1,     "controlbit"},
    {HAL_U32,   6,   0x0121, 1,     "speed"},
    {HAL_U32,   3,   0x03F6, 1,     "status"},
    };

This is working for me with a GS10 VFD:



/*
The format of the channel descriptors is:

{TYPE, FUNC, ADDR, COUNT, pin_name}

TYPE is one of HAL_BIT, HAL_FLOAT, HAL_S32, HAL_U32
FUNC = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16 - Modbus commands
COUNT = number of coils/registers to read
*/

#define MAX_MSG_LEN 16   // may be increased if necessary to max 251

static const hm2_modbus_chan_descriptor_t channels = {
/*  {TYPE,    FUNC, ADDR,   COUNT, pin_name} */
    {HAL_U32, 3,  0x0611, 1,     "error_code"},
    {HAL_U32, 3,  0x2101, 1,     "status"},
    {HAL_FLOAT, 3,  0x2104, 1,     "output-current"},
    {HAL_FLOAT, 3,  0x2105, 1,     "bus-voltage"},  
    {HAL_FLOAT, 3,  0x210C, 1,     "motor-speed"},
    {HAL_FLOAT, 6,  0x2001, 1,     "frequency-command"},
    {HAL_U32, 6,  0x2000, 1,     "operation"},
};


/* Optionally #define DEBUG to aid with troubleshooting.
   Use 3 to see a lot of information about the modbus
   internal workings. 1 is default (errors only)           

Error 11 (com timeout) might be wiring. parity, or VFD setup

That doesn't that different then mine. I even checked the modbus manual of your inverter to see if there are any major differences in the modbus section. I'll add a excerpt of my manual with the communication parameters.
What I tested after your message:
- Setting stop bit to 0
- Setting baudrate to 9600
- Setting communication delay time to 0
- Switching polarity of the cables after changing each value
- measuring the cable

Kind of odd the man page for the driver doesn't mention a stop bit at all, is there a stop bit?

You can obviously setup the serial ports on the other end however you want but AFAIK modbus likes 2 stop bits when parity is none. Since the manual doesn't mention the port config for data or stop bits is it always assumed to be 8<parity>1?

Do you mean the mesa modbus driver on the linux cnc side? 
On the vfd side I can change the stopbit from 0-2. But till now I got no communication established. 
I had an waveshare USB to RS485 Dongle laying around and tried to get a communication between the vdf and the dongle established, but got no luck.
