4. Connecting a terminal resistor to the inverter
Communication may be affected by noise echo depending on the transmission speed and transmission
distance. When communication is hindered by noise echo, connect a terminal resistor to the inverter.
1) When the PU connector or RS-485 connector (S500 Series) is used
- Connect a terminal resistor between pin No. 3 (RDA) and pin No. 6 (RDB).
- Connect a distributor to the PU terminal because terminal resistors cannot be connected.
- Connect a terminal resistor only to the inverter located furthest away from the FX PLC.
2) When the FR-A5NR is used in connection
- Connect a terminal resistor chip (which is supplied together with the FR-A5NR) between the RDB and
RDR terminals in the most distant inverter.
3) When the FR-E7TR is used in connection
A terminal resistor is built into the FR-E7TR. Set the terminal resistor switch in the E700 Series inverter
located at the end to "100".

4) When the inverter built-in RS-485 terminal is used
A terminal resistor is built into the RS-485 terminal. Set the terminal resistor switch in the F700/A700
Series inverter located at the end to "100".
