[ 2 ] RS-485 communications card "OPC-C1-RS"
The RS-485 communications card is designed exclusively for use with the FRENIC-Mini series of inverter

The RS-485 communications facility also enables remote operation of the inverters using the remote
keypad and host controllers such as Windows-based personal computers and PLCs (Programmable Logic
Controllers), as follows:
- Operating the inverters: setting the frequency, forward/reverse running, stopping, coast-to-stop and
resetting, etc.
- Monitoring the operation status of the inverter: output frequency, output current and alarm information,
etc.
- Setting function code data.
