7.2 Common Items in Inverter Communication Instructions
7.2.1 Inverter communication types (EXTR K10 to K13)
An FX2N/FX2NC PLC and inverter execute communication using EXTR (FNC180) instruction.
EXTR instruction can be described in four types of methods, from "EXTR K10" to "EXTR K13", depending on
the data communication direction and parameter writing/reading direction.
7.2.2 Function and operation
1. Communication start timing
At the rising edge (OFF→ON) of the drive condition, the PLC starts communication with an inverter.
Even if the drive condition turns OFF during communication with an inverter, the PLC executes
communication until the end.
When the drive condition is always ON, the PLC executes communication repeatedly.
2. Simultaneous driving of EXTR instructions and communication processing
1) Driving instructions at the same time
- Two or more EXTR functions (K10 to K13) can be programmed, and driven at the same time.
- When two or more instructions are driven at the same time during communication, the next EXTR
instruction in the program is executed after the current communication with an inverter is finished.
