Overview of FRENIC Loader

FRENIC Loader is a software tool that supports the operation of the inverter via an RS-485
communications link. It allows you to remotely run or stop the inverter, edit, set, or manage the
function codes, monitor key parameters and values during operation, as well as monitor the running
status (including alarm information) of the inverters on the RS-485 communications network.
With special order-made inverters, FRENIC Loader may not be able to display some
function codes normally.
For details, refer to the FRENIC Loader Instruction Manual.
