(1) Remote keypad (option)
The remote keypad allows you to run and monitor the inverter.
Those keypads can be used independent of the y code setting.
(2) FRENIC Loader
Connecting your PC running FRENIC Loader to the inverter via the RS-485 communications
links (port 1), you can monitor the inverter’s running status information, edit function codes,
and test-run the inverter.
For the setting of y codes, refer to function codes y01 to y10. For details, refer to the
FRENIC Loader Instruction Manual.
(3) Host equipment
The inverter can be managed and monitored by connecting the host equipment such as a PC
and PLC to the inverter. Modbus RTU* and Fuji general-purpose inverter protocol are
available for communications protocols.
*Modbus RTU is a protocol established by Modicon, Inc.
For details, refer to the RS-485 Communication User's Manual (MEH448).
