(5) Instructions for the program
1) When the data from the computer has an error, the inverter will not accept that data. Hence, in the user
program, always insert a retry programs for date error.
2) Since any data communication, such as operation command or monitoring, is always requested by the
computer, the inverter will not return data without the computer's request. Hence, design the program so
that the computer gives a data read request for monitoring, etc. as required.

When the inverter's communication check time interval is not set, interlocks are
provided to disable operation to prevent hazard. Always set the communication check
time interval before starting operation.
Data communication is not started automatically but is made only when the computer
provides a communication request. If communication is disabled during operation due
to signal cable breakage etc, the inverter cannot be stopped. When the
communication check time interval has elapsed, the inverter will come to an alarm
stop (E.PUE).
The inverter can be coasted to a stop by switching on its RES signal or by switching
power off.
If communication is halted due to signal cable breakage, computer fault etc., the
inverter does not detect such a fault. This should be fully noted.
