MEMOBUS Communications Configuration

The serial communication can be performed between one PC and one inverter in order to read / write parame-
ters or monitor the drive. The inverter can not be controlled by Memobus communications.
To use the communications port the operator panel must be removed from the inverter. The operator panel
connector on the inverter side has to be connected to the serial RS-232 port of the PC/PLC.
