	•	Function
		The VFS9 Series allows a data communication network to be constructed for exchanging data between
		a host computer or controller (referred to collectively as the computer) and the inverter by connecting an
		optional RS232C or RS485 communication conversion unit.
		<Computer-linking functions>
		The following functions are enabled by data communication between the computer and inverter
		(1)	Monitoring inverter status (such as the output frequency, current, and voltage)
6
		(2)	Sending RUN, STOP and other control commands to the inverter
		(3)	Reading, editing and writing inverter parameter settings
		<RS232C communication>
		Data can be exchanged between one computer and one inverter.
		<RS485 communication>
		Data can be exchanged between the computer and a maximum of 64 inverters.

✩The following are available as common serial optional units:

•RS232C communications conversion unit (Model: RS2001Z)

Communications cable (Model: CAB0011, 1m long; CAB0013, 3m long; or CAB0015, 5m long)

•RS485 communication conversion unit with terminal board (Model: RS4001Z)

Communication cable (Model: CAB0011, 1m long; CAB0013, 3m long; or CAB0015, 5m long)

Note 1.: Limit the distance between the common serial optional units and the inverter to 5m.

2.: Set Data transfer speed to 9600 bps or less if data exchange between the common serial optional units and the inverter.
