About this Manual This manual is divided into the chapters described in the following table. Understanding how informa- tion is organized will enable you to use the manual more efficiently. Chapter Contents Chapter 1 Provides an overview of the communications methods used for the Communications Methods 3G3JE.
CompoWay/F is OMRON's standard communications protocol for general serial communications. This protocol uses a standard frame format, as well as commands conforming to the well-established FINS* commands used for OMRON PLCs. This simplifies communications between the host com- puter and components.
Description K3SC Interface Converter K3SC This Converter is used to convert RS-232C (or USB) to RS-485. (OMRON) Connections and Wiring Connections • Make the connections according to the host computer and 3G3JE communications specifications. • The connection format can be either 1:1 or 1:N.
Chapter 1 Communications Methods Applicable Line Wire Size, Terminal Screws, and Torque Terminal Torque Wire type Wire size Recommended Cable screw size wire size 0.5 to 0.6 N·m Stranded wire 0.2 to 1.5 mm Shielded twisted-pair 0.75 mm cable (AWG24 to (AWG18) AWG16) Note For details on solderless terminal sizes and wiring methods, refer to the User's Manual.

Chapter 1 Communications Methods Communications Unit Number Communications unit number Changes during operation Setting range 0 to 99 Default setting To communicate with the host computer, set a unit number for each Inverter so that the Inverters can be recognized by the host computer. The unit number can be set to an integer value between 0 and Note When communicating with multiple Inverters, do not set the same unit number for more than one Inverter.
Page 19
Chapter 1 Communications Methods Communications Settings and Operation With 3G3JE Communications Models, communications parameters are set in the initial settings mode. Before communicating with the 3G3JE, use the Digital Operator keys to set all of the parame- ters. For details on making settings other than communications parameters, refer to the 3G3JE User's Manual.

Chapter 1 Communications Methods Example: Setting Communications Parameters Display the initial settings mode screen, and then use the Increment and Decrement Keys to display P16 (the parameter for which the setting is to be changed in this example). When the Enter Key is pressed, the present set value for the selected parameter will be displayed.
Chapter 2 CompoWay/F Communications Procedures Data Format This section describes the procedures for communications according to the CompoWay/F protocol. • Hexadecimal values are expressed by adding the prefix H' before the number, e.g., H'02. • Numbers shown without the H' prefix are ASCII characters. (For a table of ASCII codes, refer to the appendix.) •...
Chapter 2 CompoWay/F Communications Procedures BCC Calculation Example The BCC (Block Check Character) is determined by calculating the exclusive OR of the bytes from the node number through ETX. The 8-bit result is written to the BCC byte at the end of the frame. Sub-address Command text Node number...
