Using the PC Software — DOP Plus

During application development, using the DOP Plus software is a great way to configure your inverter. This package works with several Hitachi inverter families, providing these features:

Automatic detection of inverter family

Save parameter settings to disk

Load parameters settings from disk

Print all parameters and functions

Compare inverter settings with disk file

RS232/422 converter and cable included

Built-in help screens for functions

Automatic Quick Function Parameter Select

Runs on a PC with either Windows 3.1, Win95/98, or Windows NT

Initial setup is easy, using the 2-meter cable and RS232/422 converter as shown below. The RS422 electrical characteristics are more noise-immune to electrical interference from inverters and large motors. We recommend that you keep the communications cable away from inverter power supply or motor wiring as a precaution.
