Transmission procedure
The transmission between the external control equipment and the inverter takes the
procedure below.
xQuery - A frame sent from the external control equipment to the inverter
xResponse - A frame returned from inverter to the external control equipment
The inverter returns the response only after the inverter receives a query from the
external control equipment and does not output the response positively. Each frame is
formatted (with commands) as follows:
FrameFormat
Header (silent interval)
Slave address
Function code

Message Configuration: Query
Slaveaddress:
xThis is a number of 1 to 32 assigned to each inverter (slave). (Only the inverter

xWhen slave address “0” is specified, the query can be addressed to all inverters
simultaneously. (Broadcasting)
xIn broadcasting, you cannot call and loop back data.
