Individual Functions
This section explains the individual functions used in special applications.
Using MEMOBUS Communications
You can perform serial communications with MEMOCON-series Programmable Controllers (PLCs) or simi-
lar devices using the MEMOBUS protocol.
MEMOBUS Communications Configuration
MEMOBUS communications are configured using 1 master (PLC) and a maximum of 31 slaves. Serial com-
munications between master and slave are normally started by the master, and the slave responds.
The master communicates with the specified slave, which is the Inverter. Consequently, you must set the
address of each slave beforehand, so the master can perform signal communications using that address. Slaves
receiving commands from the master perform the specified function, and send a response to the master.
