9.2 Overview of FRENIC Loader
FRENIC Loader is a software tool that supports the operation of the inverter via an RS-485
communications link.
It allows you to remotely run or stop the inverter, edit, set, or manage the function codes, monitor key
parameters and values during operation, as well as monitor the running status (including alarm history) of
the inverters on the RS-485 communications network.
With special order-made inverters, FRENIC Loader may not be able to display some function
codes normally.
