2-8 Communication Starting and Operation
Checking with NJ501-1x00 Master
After completing the settings and wiring, turn ON the power and check that the communication starts.
The inverter power supply must be turned ON to set the inverter. When the power supply is turned ON,
the inverter may operate in unintended way. Check the condition of the wiring and system carefully
before starting the operation.
Check the condition of the wiring and system carefully, and then turn ON the power supply for all the
inverters and NJ501-1x00 Master. It does not matter whether the inverter or NJ501-1x00 Master power
supply is turned ON first. However, an error occurs unless the power supply for all the inverters is
turned ON within a certain time (Wait time for slave startup parameter of NJ501-1x00, default value is
30 seconds) after turning ON the NJ501-1x00 power supply.
Firstly, enter the network settings. How to set the network is explained below by taking the "MX2-ECT
sample" project as an example.
