16-2  Notes before PLC use 
1.  The PLC has a preset communications format of 7, N, 2, 9600, with node 2; the PLC node can 
be changed in Pr.09-35, but this address may not be the same as the drive's address setting of 
Pr.09-00.   
2.  The  CP2000  provides  2  communications  serial  ports  that  can  be  used  to  download  PLC 
programs (see figure below). Channel 1 has a fixed communications format of 19200, 8, N, 2 
RTU.   
 
 
3.  The  client  can  simultaneously  access  data  from  the  converter  and  internal  PLC,  which  is 
performed through identification of the node. For instance, if the converter node is 1 and the 
internal PLC node is 2, then the client command will be   
01 (node) 03 (read) 0400 (address) 0001 (1 data item), indicating that it must read the data in 
converter Pr.04-00.   
02 (node) 03 (read) 0400 (address) 0001 (1 data item), indicating that it must read the data in 
internal PLC X0   
4.  The PLC program will be disabled when uploading/ downloading programs.   
5.  Please note when using WPR commands to write in parameters, values may be modified up to 
a  maximum  of  10
9
  times,  otherwise  a  memory  write  error  will  occur.  The  calculation  of 
modifications is based on whether the entered value has been changed. If the entered value is 
left  unchanged,  the  modifications  will  not  increase  afterwards.  But  if  the  entered  value  is 
different from before, the number of modifications will increase by one. Those parameters listed 
below are exceptions, please proceed to the next page for details: 
  Pr.00-11 Speed control mode 
  Pr.01-12–01-19 Acceleration / Deceleration time 1–4 
  Pr.02-12 Multi-function input mode selection 
  Pr.02-18 Multi-function output direction 
  Pr.04-50–04-59 PLC buffer 0–9 
  Pr.08-04 Upper limit of integral control 
  Pr.08-05 PID output command limit
