[RS-485 terminal communication related parameter]
4.19.4 Communication EEPROM write selection (Pr. 342)
⋅
When changing the parameter values frequently, set "1" in
Pr. 342
to write them to the RAM. The life of the EEPROM
will be shorter if parameter write is performed frequently with the setting unchanged from "0 (initial value)" (EEPROM
write).

0 to 10, 9999
Set the permissible number of retries at
occurrence of a data receive error.
(same specifications as
Pr. 121
)
336
*3
RS-485 communication check
time interval
0s
0
RS-485 communication can be made, but the
inverter will come to trip in the NET operation
mode.
0.1 to 999.8s
Set the interval of communication check time.
(same specifications as
Pr. 122
)
9999
No communication check
337
*3
RS-485 communication waiting

9999
0 to 150ms,
9999
Set the waiting time between data
transmission to the inverter and response.
(same specifications as
Pr. 123
)
341
*3
RS-485 communication CR/LF
selection
1
0, 1, 2
Select presence/absence of CR/LF.
(same specifications as
Pr. 124

549
Protocol selection
0
0
Mitsubishi inverter (computer link) protocol
1
Modbus-RTU protocol
*4
*1
When "1" (Modbus-RTU protocol) is set in
Pr. 549
, the setting range within parenthesis is applied.
*2
For the Modbus-RTU protocol, the data length is always 8 bits and the stop bit depends on the
Pr. 334
setting.
(Refer to page 209)
*3
The Modbus-RTU protocol becomes invalid.
*4
The Modbus-RTU protocol is valid for only communication from the RS-485 terminals.
*5
The above parameters can be set when
Pr. 160 User group read selection
= "0".
(Refer to page 175)
CAUTION
⋅
If communication is made without
Pr. 336 RS-485 communication check time interval
being changed from "0" (initial value), monitor,
parameter read, etc. can be performed, but the inverter results in an alarm as soon as it is switched to the NET operation mode.
If the operation mode at power on is the network operation mode, a communication fault (E.SER) occurs after first
communication.
When performing operation or parameter write through communication, set "9999" or more to
Pr. 336
. (The setting depends on
the computer side program.)
(Refer to page 202)
⋅
Always reset the inverter after making the initial settings of the parameters. After you have changed the communication-related
parameters, communication cannot be made until the inverter is reset.
When parameter write is performed from PU connector, RS-485 terminal, and communication option connected
to the inverter, parameter’s storage device can be changed from RAM to only RAM. Set this
parameter when frequent parameter changes are required.

342
Communication EEPROM write
selection
0
0
Parameter values written by communication
are written to the EEPROM and RAM.
1
Parameter values written by communication
are written to the RAM.
The above parameters can be set when
Pr. 160 User group read selection
= "0".
However, it can be set any time when the communication
option is connected.
(Refer to page 175)
REMARKS
⋅
When
Pr. 342
is set to
"1" (only RAM write)
, the new values of the parameters will be cleared at power supply-off of the inverter.
Therefore, the parameter values available when power is switched on again are the values stored in EEPROM previously.
