Ethernet communication overview
The FR-A800-E/FR-F800-E inverter is equipped with an Ethernet board. Communication with network devices can be made
via Ethernet by connecting an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector on the Ethernet board.
Precautions for Ethernet communication
• In order to protect the inverter and the system against unauthorized access by external systems via network, take security
measures including firewall settings.
• Depending on the network environment, the inverter may not operate as intended due to delays or disconnection in
communication. Carefully consider the conditions and safety for the inverter on site.
Abbreviations
The solution enables seamless sensor control using a programmable controller, GOT, and other devices. The iQSS contributes to the reduction
in the total cost from development to maintenance of production equipment.
