09.00 
Communication Address 
  Settings  1–254  Default: 1
  You must set the communication address this drive if the AC motor drive is controlled by RS-485 serial 
communication. The communication address for each AC motor drive must be unique. 
 
09.01 
Transmission Speed 
      Default: 1
  Settings  0:  Baud rate 4800 bps (bits / second) 
    1:  Baud rate 9600 bps (bits / second) 
    2:  Baud rate 19200 bps (bits / second) 
    3:  Baud rate 38400 bps (bits / second) 
  Sets the transmission speed between the RS-485 master (such as PC) and the AC motor drive. 
 
09.02 
Transmission Fault Action 
      Default: 3
  Settings  0:
Warn and keep operating 
    1:
Warn and ramp to stop 
    2:
Warn and coast to stop 
    3:
No warning and keep operating 
  Determines how the AC motor drive reacts if a transmission fault occurs. 
 
09.03 
Time-out Detection 
Unit: 0.1
  Settings  0.0–120.0 sec.  Default: 0.0
    0.0  Disable 
  If Pr.09.03 is not equal to 0.0, and Pr.09.02=0–2, and there is no communication on the bus during the time-
out detection period (set by Pr.09.03), the digital keypad displays “cE10”. 
 
09.04 
Communication Protocol 
   
Default: 0
  Settings  0:  Modbus ASCII mode, protocol <7, N, 2> 
    1:  Modbus ASCII mode, protocol <7, E, 1> 
    2:  Modbus ASCII mode, protocol <7, O, 1> 
    3:  Modbus RTU mode, protocol <8, N, 2> 
    4:  Modbus RTU mode, protocol <8, E, 1> 
    5:  Modbus RTU mode, protocol <8, O, 1> 
    6:  Modbus RTU mode, protocol <8, N, 1> 
    7:  Modbus RTU mode, protocol <8, E, 2> 
    8:  Modbus RTU mode, protocol <8, O, 2> 
    9:  Modbus ASCII mode, protocol <7, N, 1> 
    10:  Modbus ASCII mode, protocol <7, E, 2>
