Communication operation and setting
[RS-485 terminal communication related parameter]
4.20.4 Communication EEPROM write selection (Pr. 342)
⋅ When changing the parameter values frequently, set "1" in Pr. 342 to write them to the RAM. The life of the EEPROM
will be shorter if parameter write is performed frequently with the setting unchanged from "0 (initial value)" (EEPROM
write).

0 Mitsubishi inverter (computer link) protocol

*4
*1 When "1" (Modbus-RTU protocol) is set in Pr. 549, the setting range within parenthesis is applied.
*2 For the Modbus-RTU protocol, the data length is always 8 bits and the stop bit depends on the Pr. 334 setting. (Refer to page 247)
*3 Invalid during the Modbus-RTU protocol.
*4 The Modbus-RTU protocol is valid for only communication from the RS-485 terminals.
*5 The above parameters can be set when Pr. 160 User group read selection = "0". (Refer to page 201)
*6 The inverter works with the initial parameter setting if a value other than the setting range is set.
CAUTION
⋅ If communication is made without Pr. 336 RS-485 communication check time interval being changed from "0" (initial value), monitor,
parameter read, etc. can be performed, but the inverter results in an alarm as soon as it is switched to the NET operation mode.
If the operation mode at power ON is the Network operation mode, a communication fault (E.SER) occurs after first
communication.
When performing operation or parameter write through communication, set "9999" or more to Pr. 336. (The setting depends on
the computer side program.) (Refer to page 239)
⋅ Always reset the inverter after making the initial settings of the parameters. After you have changed the communication-related
parameters, communication cannot be made until the inverter is reset.
When parameter write is performed from PU connector, RS-485 terminal, and communication option connected
to the inverter, parameter’s storage device can be changed from EEPROM + RAM to only RAM. Set this
parameter when frequent parameter changes are required.

Communication EEPROM write

0
0
Parameter values written by communication
are written to the EEPROM and RAM.
1
Parameter values written by communication
are written to the RAM.
The above parameters can be set when Pr. 160 User group read selection = "0". However, it can be set any time when the communication
option is connected.
(Refer to page 201)
REMARKS
⋅ When Pr. 342 is set to "1" (only RAM write), the new values of the parameters will be cleared at power supply-OFF of the inverter.
Therefore, the parameter values available when power is switched ON again are the values stored in EEPROM previously.
