5.15.6 Modbus-RTU communication specification
NOTE
• To use the Modbus-RTU protocol, set "1" to Pr.549 Protocol selection.
• If Modbus-RTU communication is performed from the master to the address 0 (station number 0), the data is broadcasted,
and the inverter does not send any reply to the master. To obtain replies from the inverter, set Pr.331 RS-485
communication station number "0 (initial value)". Some functions are disabled in broadcast communication. (Refer to
page 581.)
• If a communication option is mounted with Pr.550 NET mode operation command source selection = "9999 (initial value)",
commands (operation commands) transmitted via RS-485 terminals become invalid. (Refer to page 316.)
Communication specifications
• The communication specifications are given below.
Operation by Modbus-RTU communication or parameter setting is possible by using the Modbus-RTU communication
protocol from the RS-485 terminals of the inverter.
