Data can be written in and read from several data groups set in one communication by setting the type of data desired for communication in the block communication parameters ( , , to ) in advance. Block communication can save the communication time. Data is transmitted hexadecimal using the binary (HEX) code transmission characters. “Computer → inverter” is for writing only, while “Inverte

It cannot be used to write data into any read-only parameters. Each time an attempt to write data is made the inverter checks whether the data falls within the specified range. If this check reveals that the data falls outside the range, the inverter will reject it and return an error code. - Ex.: Entering the emergency stop command (c
