Selection of operation mode and operation location
Operation mode basics
The operation mode is to specify the source of inputting the start command and set frequency
of the inverter.
● Select the "external operation mode" when performing operation by basically using the
control circuit terminals and providing potentiometers, switches, etc. externally.
● Select the "PU operation mode" when inputting the start command and frequency setting
through communication from the operation panel (FR-DU07), parameter unit (FR-PU04/FR-
PU07) or PU connector.
● Select the "network operation mode (NET operation mode)" when using the RS-485
terminals or communication option.
The operation mode can be selected from the operation panel or with the communication
instruction code.

NOTES
Either "3" or "4" may be set to select the PU/external combined operation, and these settings
differ in starting method.
In the initial setting, the stop function by of the PU (FR-DU07) (PU stop selection) is valid
also in other than the PU operation mode. (Refer to Pr. 75 "Reset selection/disconnected PU
detection/PU stop selection".)
