Page 44: Inverter Settings
INVERTER SETTINGS INVERTER SETTINGS The inverter parameters listed in Table 15 are critical for overall operation of the end-to-end communication system. Some of these parameters must be set to specific values, and some may have multiple allowable settings depending on the desired operation of the overall application. Although there may be many other inverter parameters that will require configuration for your specific application, it is important to understand the manner in which the following parameters will impact successful communications with, and control of the inverter.
Page 45: Network Setting
INVERTER SETTINGS Network Setting The network settings can optionally be set using the inverter parameters described in the Table 16. An invalid parameter value will void the inverter network parameters and fallback to the network settings created by the Configuration Studio or the default network settings (IP address = 192.168.16.100, Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0, and Default gateway = 192.168.16.3).
Page 46 INVERTER SETTINGS IP Address The IP address is created from the octet values specified in Pr. 232, Pr. 233, Pr. 234, and Pr. 235. The value after the decimal point for each parameter value must be 0. Subnet Mask The subnet mask is created from the octet values specified in Pr. 236, Pr. 237, Pr. 238, and Pr. 239. The value after the decimal point for each parameter value must be 0.

Page 50 INVERTER SETTINGS Pr. 340 settings "2” and “12" are mainly used for communication operation using the inverter’s RS-485 port. When a value other than "9999" (automatic restart after momentary power failure) is set in Pr. 57 Restart coasting time, the inverter will resume the same operation state which it was in prior to a momentary power failure is such a failure occurs.
Page 51 INVERTER SETTINGS (3) Operation mode switching method For a switching method via external terminal input signals, refer to the inverter’s user’s manual (applied). • When starting the inverter in NET mode upon powering-up or after an inverter reset, set a value other than 0 in Pr.

Communication option automatic recognition. 9999 command source Normally, control via the inverter’s RS-485 port selection is valid. When an A7NETH-V2 communication 9999 option card is installed, that communication option card’s control is made valid instead of the inverter’s RS-485 port.
Page 53 INVERTER SETTINGS (2) Selection of control source for NET mode (Pr. 338, Pr. 339) Control sources can be subdivided into two separate realms: 1) operation commands such as start/stop signals, etc. and 2) the speed command source that determines the inverter’s frequency command. The various combinations of these realms that can be configured are summarized in the following table.

Page 56: Communication Eeprom Write Selection (Pr. 342)
INVERTER SETTINGS Communication EEPROM Write Selection (Pr. 342) When parameters are written via communications, by default both volatile RAM and nonvolatile EEPROM contents are modified. Due to the limited write cycle lifetime of EEPROM memory, however, it may be desirable to modify only the contents of RAM when frequent parameter writes via communications are necessary.
