However, with tests, the modbus tester is found unable to read/write registers in ATV320/ VW3A3616 combination in Modbus TCP and Ethernet IP. The behavior is reading 0 from all registers. The issue should come from the access of assemblies of Modbus tester. No issue on the ATV600/900s, no issue on control expert and machine expert.
