Data communication between the computer and
inverter is made in the following procedure.
*1
If a data error is detected and a retry must be made,
execute retry operation with the user program. The
inverter comes to an alarm stop if the number of
consecutive retries exceeds the parameter setting.
*2
On receipt of a data error occurrence, the inverter
returns retry data 3) to the computer again. The inverter
comes to trip if the number of consecutive data errors
reaches or exceeds the parameter setting.
1) Request data is sent from the computer to
the inverter. (The inverter will not send data
unless requested.)
2) After waiting for the waiting time
3) The inverter sends return data to the
computer in response to the computer
request.
4) After waiting for the inverter data processing
time
5) Answer from the computer in response to
reply data 3) of the inverter is transmitted.
(Even if 5) is not sent, subsequent
communication is made properly.)
