Page 57
NOTE • The monitor items and parameter settings can be read during communication with the Pr.1432 Ethernet communication check time interval = "0 (initial value)" setting, but such operation will become faulty once the operation mode is changed to the NET operation mode. When the NET operation mode is selected as the start-up operation mode, communication is performed once, then an Ethernet communication fault (E.EHR) occurs.
• A signal loss detection is made when any of 0.1 s to 999.8 s is set in Pr.1432. In order to enable the signal loss detection, data must be sent by connected devices at an interval equal to or less than the time set for the communication check. (The inverter makes a communication check (clearing of communication check counter) regardless of the station number setting of the data sent from the master).

NOTE • During broadcast communication, functions are executed regarded of the set inverter station number (Pr.117). Message frame (protocol) • Communication method Basically, the master sends a query message (inquiry), and slaves return a response message (response). At normal communication, the device address and function code are copied as they are, and at erroneous communication (illegal function code or data code), bit 7 (= H80) of the function code is turned ON, and the error code is set at data bytes.
