B-3 Network Protocol Reference
B-3-1 Transmission procedure
The transmission between the external control equipment and the inverter
takes the procedure below.
• Query - A frame sent from the external control equipment to the inverter
• Response - A frame returned from inverter to the external control equip-
ment
The inverter returns the response only after the inverter receives a query from
the external control equipment and does not output the response positively.
Each frame is formatted (with commands) as follows:
B-3-2 Message Configuration: Query
Slave address:
• This is a number of 1 to 32 assigned to each inverter (slave). (Only the
inverter having the address given as a slave address in the query can
receive the query.)
• When slave address "0" is specified, the query can be addressed to all
inverters simultaneously. (Broadcasting)
• In broadcasting, you cannot call and loop back data.
• Slave Address 1-247 in Modbus specification. When master address the
slave 250-254, broadcast toward specific slave address. Slave doesn't
answer back. And this function is valid for the write command (05h, 06h,
0Fh, 10h)
