Supplementary Explanation of Communication Function

About communication protocol

The communication protocol of the inverter conforms to MEWTOCOL-COM, however, there are
some differences as below.
(For the details on the protocol, refer to our PLC manual.)
(1) It does not support multiple frames.
(2) The usable commands are the following 11 types: RCS, RCP, WCS, WCP, RCC, WCC, RD,
WD, MC, MD and MG.
(Max. reading writing point number and data of each command are shown in the table as below.)
(3) The data code when using WD and RD commands is "D" (data register).
(4) The contact code when using WC (S, P) and RC(S, P) commands is "R" (internal relay).
(5) Header supports "%" only.
(6) There is no distinction between data and setting areas in the internal memory of the inverter.
It can be treated as word data (16bit) and contact data (1bit) for the same address (region).

Send/ receive changeover wait time
Set the wait time to the values larger than the values shown below after the response message
is sent by the inverter and before a host computer sends the next data.
Communication speed (bps)

Processing time on inverter

The internal processing time of the inverter differs depending on the operating conditions, however
it is always below 50ms.
In the case of setting the parameter P42 (data setting clear), maximum 1.5s processing time is necessary
for writing data into the internal memory. When the timeout period is specified on the host computer,
the value which does not give any effect on the system must be set.
