Developer is used for creating sequence programs and writing them to the inverter to enable the use of the PLC function of the
inverter. PLC function is used for customizing inverter operation to meet the machine specifications. PLC function operates the
inverter according the input signals, or outputs signals and monitored values according to inverter operation. For details of
inverter settings related to the PLC function, refer to the PLC Function Programming Manual.

3.10.1 Before using Developer

When using Developer, enable the PLC function of the inverter (Pr.414 PLC function operation selection ≠ 0).
For details, refer to the Instruction Manual of the inverter used.

 Outline of PLC function
• A800/F800
To enable the PLC function, set a value other than "0" in Pr.414. When Pr.414 = "2 or 12", the sequence start (SQ) signal from
the external input terminal is valid regardless of the setting in Pr.338 Communication operation command source. (The
change of Pr.414 setting is applied after an inverter reset.)
• E800
To enable the PLC function, set a value other than "0" in Pr.414. (The change of Pr.414 setting is applied after an inverter
reset.)
Switch the execution key (RUN/STOP) of the sequence program by turning the SQ signal ON/OFF. The sequence program
can be executed by turning the SQ signal ON. To input the SQ signal, set "50" in any parameter from Pr.178 to Pr.189 (Input
terminal function selection) to assign the function to a terminal.
