11.1 Modbus-RTU
11.1.1 Communication Specifications and Setting Parameters
 What are the specifications of Modbus communication function?
 WJ-C1 inverters are equipped with RS-485 compliant Modbus-RTU port. They can communicate
with external control equipment devices. The basic specifications and setting parameters for
Modbus communication are as follows.
 When communication option board is installed, Modbus communication function of the main
unit cannot be used.
 In Modbus communication of WJ-C1, there are data with restrictions when accessing as "2
register length parameter" for large data that does not fit in 1 word. For details, refer to
"Exception code 27h" in "11.2.9 Exceptional Responses".
