8. Commands and monitoring from the computer
Across the network, instructions (commands and frequency) can be sent to each inverter and the
operating status of each inverter can be monitored.

8.1. Communication commands (commands from the computer)

Communication command (Communication number: FA00, FA04)
Commands can be executed on inverter frequencies and operation stop through communication.
The VF-AS1 series can enable command and frequency settings through communication irrespec-
tive of settings of the command mode selection () and frequency setting mode selection 1
(). However, if “48 (49): Forced switching from communication to local,” “56 (57): Forced
continuous operation,” or “58 (59): Specified speed operationj” is set by input terminal function se-
lection ( to ), a change to a command other than communication and to a frequency
command is feasible through a contact on the terminal board.
Once the communication command (FA00, FA04) is set to enable communication command priority
and frequency priority, both priorities will be enabled unless OFF is set, power is turned off or is re-
set, or factory default setting () is selected. Emergency stop is always enabled even though
communication command priority is not set.
