H Data Created by Protocol Support Tool
• A project file is used by the Protocol Support Tool to create and control data.
A project file consists of the following data.
Single project file Protocol list Protocol name
Protocol name
Protocol name
A maximum of 20 protocols
(A maximum of 1,000
sequences per project)
Trace list
PLC
Protocol name
(Single protocol)
Sequence 000/Sequence name
Sequence 001/Sequence name
Sequence 999/Sequence name
A maximum of 60
sequences/protocol
The first sequence number
and last sequence number
are specified by each
protocol.
Send message list Message name
Message name
Recv message list Message name
Message name
A maximum of
300 messages
Recv matrix Matrix name
Matrix name
A maximum of
100 matrixes
Sequence #jjj
Step 00
Step 15
A maximum of 16 steps
Step 01
Note The standard system protocol incorporated by the Communications Board cannot be edited or
transferred. To make use of the standard system protocol, copy it to the project file and edit it.
In 7-9-4 Creating a Project File, an example to create a new project file is shown without making
use of the standard system protocol.
7-9-4 Creating a Project File
• The following description provides information about how to create a project file to issue the RUN com-
mand and frequency reference and read the Inverter status.
H Design
• Select from I/O items, monitor items, and parameters the data to be exchanged according to the
application. Then consider what sequence is required by using the protocol macro function.
Example: Writes control input items (such as the RUN command and multi-function input) of the
Inverter and frequency reference, monitors the control output (such as error output and RUN out-
