Chapter 4 Explanation of Functions

4.4 Communication Functions

The inverter can engage in RS485 communications with an external control system that is connected to the TM2 terminal block (on the control circuit terminal block board) of the inverter. The SJ700 series inverter shares the ASCII communication protocol with the SJ300 and L300P series inverters.
