Monitoring operation status from the PLC
•
Setting and reading constants
•
Resetting errors
•

Message Format

In MEMOBUS communications, the master sends commands to the slave, and the slave responds. The mes-
sage format is configured for both sending and receiving as shown below, and the length of data packets is
changed by the command (function) contents.
The space between messages must support the following.
Slave Address
Set the Inverter address from 0 to 32. If you set 0, commands from the master will be broadcast (i.e., the
Inverter will not return responses).
Function Code
The function code specifies commands. There are three function codes, as shown below.

Data
Configure consecutive data by combining the storage register address (test code for a loopback address) and
the data the register contains. The data length changes depending on the command details.
