In the process of multiplying a non-integer by a multiple to obtain an integer, the multiple is referred to
as a fieldbus scale.
The fieldbus scale depends on the number of decimals in the value specified in "Detailed parameter
description" or "Default value". If there are
n
decimals in the value, the fieldbus scale m is the
n
th
-power of 10. Take the following table as an example, m is 10.

The value specified in "Detailed parameter description" or "Default value" contains one decimal, so
the fieldbus scale is 10. If the value received by the upper computer is 50, the value of
"Wake-up-from-sleep delay" of the VFD is 5.0 (5.0=50/10).
To set the "Wake-up-from-sleep delay" to 5.0s through Modbus communication, you need first to
multiply 5.0 by 10 according to the scale to obtain an integer 50, that is, 32H in the hexadecimal form,
and then transmit the following write command:
VFD
address
Write
command
Parameter
address

After receiving the command, the VFD converts 50 into 5.0 based on the fieldbus scale, and then sets
"Wake-up-from-sleep delay" to 5.0s.
For another example, after the upper computer transmits the "Wake-up-from-sleep delay" parameter
read command, the master receives the following response from the VFD:
VFD
address
Read

The parameter data is 0032H, that is, 50, so 5.0 is obtained based on the fieldbus scale (50/10=5.0).
In this case, the master identifies that the "Wake-up-from-sleep delay" is 5.0s.
10.4.7 Error message response
Operation errors may occur in communication-based control. For example, some parameters can
only be read, but a write command is transmitted. In this case, the VFD returns an error message
response.
Error message responses are transmitted by the VFD to the master. The following table describes the
