Setting the communication functions

Setting commands and frequencies by communications has priority over sending commands from the
operation panel or the terminal board. Command/frequency setting by communications can therefore be
enabled, irrespective of the setting in the command mode () or the frequency setting mode ().
When inverters are connected to each others, however, in order for slave inverters to recognize frequency
signals from the master inverter as frequency commands, the frequency setting mode selection 1 parameter
() provided for each slave inverter needs to be set to 4 (serial communications). Refer to the
COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT USER'S MANUAL for details.
However, when the input terminal function selection parameter is set to 48: SC/LC (Serial/Local selection),
the inverter can be operated with the settings of the command mode () or the frequency setting mode
() by external input.
