Customer provides:

1
Identify the motor drive
Dorner 2200 conveyors use a VFD (typically ABB, SEW, or Bodine) to control belt speed. Locate the VFD in the conveyor control box.
2
Connect RS-485
Wire RS-485 A/B from the VFD communication terminals to a USB-to-RS485 adapter on the Flowstate edge node.
If no VFD is present (single-speed AC motor), use the CT101 current clamp fallback.
3
Mount edge node nearby
Mount the CL260 near the conveyor control box. USB-to-RS485 cable length should not exceed 1200m (4000ft) for reliable RS-485.

1
Set VFD Modbus parameters
On the VFD: set station address (1), baud rate (9600 or 19200), parity (even), and enable Modbus communication.
2
Map speed and current registers
Note the VFD register addresses for output frequency, output current, and fault status. Flowstate templates cover common VFD brands.

1
Read VFD registers
Use the Flowstate diagnostics tool to read the VFD status register. Confirm belt speed and motor current readings.
2
Dashboard check
Conveyor appears in Flowstate with belt speed, motor current, and run/stop status.
