Mitsubishi Inverter Protocol (Computer Link Communication) - Mitsubishi Electric FR-F720-00046 Instruction Manual

Communication operation and setting

4.19.5 Mitsubishi inverter protocol (computer link communication)

You can perform parameter setting, monitor, etc. from the PU connector or RS-485 terminals of the inverter
using the Mitsubishi inverter protocol (computer link communication).

*1 If a data error is detected and a retry must be made, execute retry operation with the user program. The inverter comes to trip if the number of
consecutive retries exceeds the parameter setting.
*2 On receipt of a data error occurrence, the inverter returns "reply data 3)" to the computer again. The inverter comes to trip if the number of
consecutive data errors reaches or exceeds the parameter setting.

⋅ Data communication between the computer and
inverter is made in the following procedure.
1) Request data is sent from the computer to the
inverter. (The inverter will not send data unless
5)
Time
requested.)
2) After waiting for the waiting time
3) The inverter sends return data to the computer in
response to the computer request.
4) After having waited for the time taken for inverter
processing
5) Answer from computer in response to reply data
3) is sent. (Even if 5) is not sent, subsequent
communication is made property.)
