(1) Communication specifications
⋅
The communication specifications are given below.
Using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol, communication operation or parameter setting can be
performed from the RS-485 terminals of the inverter.

The above parameters can be set when
Pr. 160 User group read selection
= "0".
(Refer to page 175)
CAUTION
When Modbus-RTU communication is performed from the master with address 0 (station 0) set, broadcast communication is
selected and the inverter does not send a response message to the master.
When response from the inverter is necessary, set a value other than "0" in
Pr. 331
.
Some functions are invalid for broadcast communication.
(Refer to page 211.)
REMARKS
⋅
When using the Modbus-RTU protocol, set
Pr. 549 Protocol selection
to "1".
⋅
When the communication option is fitted with
Pr. 550 NET mode operation command source selection
set to "9999" (initial value), the
command source (e.g. run command) from the RS-485 terminals is invalid.
