LED Status Indicators The communications card has two LED status indicators that indicate the operation status of the communications card as listed in Table 2.1. Table 2.1 LED Indicators and Operation Status LED (Color) LED state Meaning The SX-bus communications link is established. RUN (Green) (If the ERR LED is also ON, a light alarm has occurred.)
Chapter 3 INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF THIS COMMUNICATIONS CARD Before starting installation and wiring, turn OFF the power and wait at least five minutes for inverters with a capacity of 22 kW or below, or at least ten minutes for inverters with a capacity of 30 kW or above. Make sure that the LED monitor and charging lamp are turned OFF.
Fit the positioning cutout of the communications card over the tab on the inverter to determine the mounting position. Insert connector CN1 on the communications card into the corresponding port on the inverter's control PCB. Note: Be sure to follow the order of Inserting CN1 first may lead to insufficient insertion, resulting in a contact failure.
Chapter 4 WIRING AND CABLING • Before starting installation and wiring, turn OFF the power and wait at least five minutes for inverters with a capacity of 22 kW or below, or at least ten minutes for inverters with a capacity of 30 kW or above. Make sure that the LED monitor and charging lamp are turned OFF.

Figure 4.1 shows the basic connection diagram. When connecting the communications card to an SX bus, observe the following precautions. Precautions for SX bus connection (1) Be sure to use SX-bus dedicated cables. Model: NP1C-P3 (0.3 m) to NP1C-25 (25 m) For details about the cable specifications, refer to the MICREX-SX user's manual (Hardware version) which can be downloaded for free from our website at: http://www.fujielectric.com/...
Wiring to Inverter Route the SX-bus cables as far from the wiring of the main circuit as possible. Otherwise electric noise may cause malfunctions. Pass the SX-bus cables between the control circuit terminal block and the front cover. • For inverters with a capacity of 22 kW or below In the case of 0.4 kW •...
Chapter 5 CONFIGURING INVERTER'S FUNCTION CODES FOR SX-BUS COMMUNICATION Inverter's Function Codes Before starting actual inverter operation, configure the inverter's function codes listed in Table 5.1. It is recommended to configure them before starting SX-bus communication, since an SX-bus network break could occur immediately after the start of communication.
o31 Display Value o31 displays the actual station address of the communications card which is currently assigned by the connected SX bus. The actual station address may be different from the one configured by the station address switches (RSW1 and RSW2 described in Section 2.2) since the SX bus has priority over those switches. Even writing any data to o31 from the keypad or via SX bus cannot change the actual station address or overwrite the o31 data with the written data.
Only Expert version 3.4.4.1 or later can define the SX-bus communications card. Choose Help|Info… from the menu bar on the top screen. Expert version 3.4.4.1 or later * * If your Expert version is earlier than 3.4.4.1, consult your Fuji Electric representative.

(2) Adding a module In the project tree pane in Expert, double-click System_Definition under Physical Hardware. Double-click System_Definition. The system definition window appears as shown below. Right-click 11 slots Base: to display the pull-down menu and then choose Insert.
Page 19
The Module insert window appears. Select items as shown below and then click OK. The screen returns to the system definition window as shown below. Check that the inverter FRN-G1 is registered under the System structure in the system definition tree.
Page 20
(3) Configuring the I/O group Allocate the module (inverter) in the MICREX-SX CPU. Incorrect allocation of the I/O group disables input/output control from the CPU. In the system definition window, right-click CPU: to display the pull-down menu and then choose Properties..
Page 21
The CPU parameters window appears. Double-click the I/O group setting tab to display the window shown below. Click Standard setting, and the FRN-G1 is automatically allocated to the Input and Output. Note: In a multi-processor system, if an individual CPU module has a different control target, configure the I/O group for an individual CPU.

(5) Configuring the station address switches (RSW1 and RSW2) on the communications card (Refer to Section 2.2). Before accessing the station address switches, make sure that the inverter power is OFF. Use the station address switches to configure the station address of the SX-bus communications card. The station address should be the one that has been registered by Expert.

Example of Communication Data This section shows an example of communication data in the standard format (factory default). The example assumes that the maximum frequency is 60 Hz (F03 = 60) and the number of poles is 4 (P01 = 4). (1) Example of operation pattern Figure 7.1 shows an example of an inverter's operation pattern.
Chapter 8 LIST OF INVERTER ALARM CODES Through SX bus, the MICREX-SX can monitor the information on alarms that have occurred in the inverter. Their alarm codes are stored in the inverter's communication-dedicated function codes M16 to M19 (latest, last, 2nd last, and 3rd last alarm codes), as listed below.
Chapter 9 PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS If the inverter judges that any error relating to the SX-bus communications card has occurred, it trips with displayed. If this happens, check the communications card following the instructions below. Option communications error (Communications card hardware error) ( Problem A communications error occurred between the SX-bus communications card and the inverter.
