Make connection in accordance with the instruction manual of the computer to be used with.
Fully check the terminal numbers of the computer since they vary with the model.
The inverters may be affected by reflection depending on the transmission speed or
transmission distance. If this reflection hinders communication, provide a terminating
resistor. If the PU connector is used to make a connection, use a distributor since a
terminating resistor cannot be fitted. Connect the terminating resistor to only the inverter
remotest from the computer. (Terminating resistor: 100Ω)
NOTE
Do not use pins No. 2, 8 of the FR-A5CBL cable. (Refer to page 6-193.)
