Message Format
In MEMOBUS communications, the master sends commands to the slave, and the slave responds. The mes-
sage format is configured for both sending and receiving as shown below, and the length of data packets
depends on the command (function) content.
The space between messages must meet the following conditions:
PLC to Inverter
Command message
24 bits long
Slave Address
Set the Inverter address from 0 to 32. If you set 0, commands from the master will be received by all slaves.
(Refer to "Broadcast Data" on the following pages.)
Function Code
The function code specifies commands. The three function codes shown in the table below are available.
Function Code

Data
Configure consecutive data by combining the memory register address (test code for a loopback address) and
the data the register contains. The data length changes depending on the command details.
