Communication operation and setting
(8) Instructions for the program
1) When data from the computer has any error, the inverter does not accept that error. Hence, in the user program,
always insert a retry program for data error.
2) All data communication, e.g. run command or monitoring, are started when the computer gives a communication
request. The inverter does not return any data without the computer's request. Hence, design the program so that
the computer gives a data read request for monitoring, etc. as required.

Always set the communication check time interval before starting operation to prevent hazardous conditions.
Data communication is not started automatically but is made only once when the computer provides a
communication request. If communication is disabled during operation due to signal loss etc., the inverter cannot
be stopped. When the communication check time interval has elapsed, the inverter will come to an alarm stop
(E.PUE, E.SER). The inverter can be coasted to a stop by switching on its RES signal or by switching power off.
If communication is broken due to signal loss, computer fault etc., the inverter does not detect such a fault. This
should be fully noted.
