H Message Interval
·When the Inverter receives a DSR message from the Master, the Inverter waits for a
periodthatisequivalentto24bitsinlengthandaSendWaitTimesetinn156.Thenthe
Inverter will return a response.Set n156 according to the Master’s processing time or
the timing adjustment.
·When the Master issues the next message after receiving the response from the
