FR-A700: USB automatic recognition
Normally, operation panel (PU connector) is the
command source. During USB connection, USB is
the command source.
FR-E700(SC)(NC): USB automatic recognition
Normally, operation panel is the command source.
When the parameter unit is connected to the PU
connector, PU is the command source. During a USB
connection, USB is the command source.
Note
• Always reset the inverter after making the setting of the parameters. After you have changed the communication-
related parameters, communication cannot be established until the inverter reset.
