PARAMETERS
4.24.6 Modbus-RTU communication specifications (Pr. 331, Pr. 332, Pr. 334, Pr. 343,
Pr. 539, Pr. 549)
(1) Communication specifications
⋅ The communication specifications are given below.
Using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol, communication operation or parameter setting can be
performed from the RS-485 terminals of the inverter.

0 Broadcast communication is selected.
1 to 247
Specify the inverter station number.
Set the inverter station numbers when two
or more inverters are connected to one
personal computer.
332 RS-485 communication speed 96
3, 6, 12, 24, 48,
96, 192, 384
Set the communication speed.
The setting value × 100 equals the
communication speed.
For example, the communication speed is
9600bps when the setting value is "96".

protocol
1 Modbus-RTU protocol
CAUTION
When Modbus-RTU communication is performed from the master with address 0 (station 0) set, broadcast communication is
selected and the inverter does not send a response message to the master.
When response from the inverter is necessary, set a value other than "0" in Pr. 331 (initial value 0).
Some functions are invalid for broadcast communication. (Refer to page 349)
REMARKS
⋅ When using the Modbus-RTU protocol, set Pr. 549 Protocol selection to "1".
⋅ When the communication option is fitted with Pr. 550 NET mode operation command source selection set to "9999" (initial value), the
command source (e.g. run command) from the RS-485 terminals is invalid. (Refer to page 322)
