[ 4 ]  Communication Conditions 

Do the settings on the communication retry. 

Retry count

 

This sets how many times communication allows retry in case of failure.    As the retry count 
increases, the possibility to succeed communications may increase.    However, it will take 
time until the error dialog appears.    The count of one or so is recommended. 

Timeout

 

If no response is received from the inverter within the time limit set here, the communication 
error dialog will open.    A shorter timeout setting allows sooner display of the error dialog.   
However, an extremely short timeout may cause a communication error even during normal 
operation, for example, when taking long time to handle the inverter rather than the 
communication errors. 

 

[ 5 ]  Perform Connection Check 

Connection Check is a function to always monitor the communication status between your PC 
and the inverter that is registered through the connection settings.    By clicking the check box to 
the left of [Perform Connection Check] and checking the box, the PC will automatically check the 
status of connection with the inverter and displays the communication status on the status bar.   
If one of the previously registered inverters disables to communicate due to disconnection or 
other problem, the response performance will become very slow.    Be sure to remove the 
disabled inverter from the connection settings.
