Connection and Parameter Setting
(2) Related parameters for connection using PU connector
Set the following communication parameter when connecting PU connector of the inverter.
When performing parameter writing or run command input, set the following command source parameters, and switch
the operation mode to the following operation mode.
* Depending on the production year and month of FR-A700, the setting range and initial value of Pr. 551 may differ. For the details, refer to the Appendices of the
Instruction Manual of the inverter.

FR-A700: USB automatic recognition
Normally, operation panel (PU connector) is the command
source. During USB connection, USB is the command source.
FR-D700, F700PJ: Parameter unit automatic recognition
FR-E700(SC): 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 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.
