6.19.2 Initial settings and specifications of RS-485 communication (Pr. 117 to Pr. 120,
Pr. 123, Pr. 124, Pr. 549)
Used to perform required settings for RS-485 communication between the inverter and personal
computer. Use PU connector of the inverter for communication.
ā You can perform parameter setting, monitoring, etc. using Mitsubishi inverter protocol or Mod-
bus-RTU protocol.
ā To make communication between the personal computer and inverter, initialization of the
communication specifications must be made to the inverter. Data communication cannot be
made if the initial settings are not made or there is any setting error.
PU connector communication related parameter
The above parameters can be set when Pr. 160 "User group read selection" = 0.

When "1" (Modbus-RTU protocol) is set in Pr. 549, the setting range within parenthesis is
applied.

NOTE Always reset the inverter after making the initial settings of the parameters. After you have
changed the communication-related parameters, communication cannot be made until the
inverter is reset.
