Loopback Test
The loopback test returns command messages directly as response messages without changing the contents to
check the communications between the master and slave. A user-defined test code and data values can be set.
The following table shows a message example when performing a loopback test with the slave no. 1.
Writing to Multiple Inverter Memory Registers
The writing of inverter memory registers works similar to the reading process, i.e. the address of the first reg-
ister that is to be written and the quantity of to be written registers must be set in the command message.
The to be written data must be consecutive, starting from the specified address in the command message. The
data order must be higher 8 bits, then lower 8 bits. The data must be in memory register address order.
The following table shows an example of a message where a forward operation has been set with a frequency
reference of 60.0 Hz for the inverter with the slave address 01H.

used.
