[15] PROFIBUS-DP communications card (OPC-G1-PDP)
The PROFIBUS-DP communications card is used to connect the FRENIC-MEGA series to a
PROFIBUS-DP master unit via PROFIBUS. Mounting the communications card on the FRENIC-MEGA
enables the user to monitor run and frequency commands and running status, change and refer to all
function codes of FRENIC-MEGA.
The communications card has the following features:
- PROFIBUS version: DP-V0 compliant
- Transmission speed :9,600 bps to 12 Mbps
- Applicable profile :PROFIDrive V2
- Able to read and write all function codes supported in the FRENIC-MEGA
Applicable ports
This communications card can be connected to the A-port only, out of three option connection ports (A-, B-,
and C-ports) provided on the FRENIC-MEGA.
Note: Once the inverter is equipped with this communications card, no more communications card (e.g.,
DeviceNet and SX-bus communications cards) is allowed on the inverter. Mounting more than one card on
the inverter causes the
er4
trip that cannot be reset until those cards are removed except a single card.
Applicable ROM version
This communications card is applicable to inverters with a ROM version G1S11000 or later.
