Connection
As illustrated below, connect the inverters in parallel to the external control system, and connect the RP and SN
terminals with a jumper on the inverter at the end of the network. (Similarly jumper the RP and SN terminals
when only one inverter is connected to the external control system for RS485 communication.) Connecting the RP
and SN terminals enables the terminating resistor in the control circuit terminal block board of the inverter, which
suppresses signal reflections.
(2) Required settings
The following table lists the inverter settings required for the RS485 communication:
Communication speed
selection

inverter
(Set this item when your inverter is
connected together with other(s) to a
control system.)
Communication data length
selection
Communication parity
selection
Communication stop bit
selection
Selection of operation after
communication error
Tripping after decelerating and stopping the
motor
Stopping the motor after free-running
