PARAMETERS
4.18.3 Operation command source and speed command source during
communication operation (Pr. 338, Pr. 339, Pr. 550, Pr. 551)
(1) Select the control source of the network operation mode (Pr. 550)
â‹…
Either the RS-485 terminals or communication option can be specified as the source of control in network operation mode.
â‹…
For example, set
Pr. 550
to "1" when executing parameter write, start command or frequency setting from the inverter RS-485
terminals in the network operation mode independently of whether the communication option is connected or not.
(2) Select the control source of the PU operation mode (Pr. 551)
â‹… Either the PU connector or RS-485 terminals can be specified as the source of control in the PU operation mode.
â‹… When performing parameter write, giving start command and setting frequency from communication with the RS-
485 terminals in PU operation mode, set "1" in Pr. 551.
*1 The Modbus-RTU protocol cannot be used in the PU operation mode. When using the Modbus-RTU protocol, set Pr. 551 to "2".
*2 When the communication option is not fitted, the operation mode cannot be switched to network operation mode.
When the RS-485 terminals or communication option is used, the external operation command and speed
command can be made valid. Also, the control command source in the PU operation mode can be selected.

Normally, the RS-485 terminals are valid. When the communication
option is fitted, the communication option is valid.

1
Select the RS-485 terminals as the PU operation mode control source.
2
Select the PU connector as the PU operation mode control source.
The above parameters can be set when Pr. 160 User group read selection = "0". However, the parameters can be set whenever the communication
option is connected. (Refer to page 156.)
* Pr 550 and Pr. 551 are always write-enabled.
CAUTION
â‹… Since Pr. 550 = "9999" (automatic recognition of the communication option) in the initial setting, parameter write, start command
and frequency setting cannot be executed by communication using the inverter RS-485 terminals when the communication option
is fitted. (Monitor and parameter read can be performed.)
CAUTION
â‹…
The PU operation mode has a higher priority when
Pr. 550
= "1" (NET mode RS-485 terminals) and
Pr. 551
= "1" (PU mode RS-485 terminals).
When the communication option is not fitted, therefore, the operation mode cannot be switched to network operation mode.
