PARAMETERS
4.24.5 Mitsubishi inverter protocol (computer link communication)
(1) Communication specifications
⋅ The communication specifications are given below.
(2) Communication procedure
*1 If a data error is detected and a retry must be made, execute retry operation with the user program. The inverter trips if the number of consecutive
retries exceeds the parameter setting.
*2 On receipt of a data error occurrence, the inverter returns "reply data 3)" to the computer again. The inverter trips if the number of consecutive
data errors reaches or exceeds the parameter setting.
You can perform parameter setting, monitor, etc. from the PU connector or RS-485 terminals of the inverter using
the Mitsubishi inverter protocol (computer link communication).

⋅ Data communication between the computer and
inverter is made in the following procedure.
1)Request data is sent from the computer to the
inverter. (The inverter will not send data unless
requested.)
2)After waiting for the waiting time
3)The inverter sends reply data to the computer in
response to the computer request.
4)After having waited for the time taken for inverter
processing
5)Answer from computer in response to reply data
3) is sent. (Even if 5) is not sent, subsequent
communication is made properly.)
