 NOTE
• The protective function [E.OP1 (fault data: HA1)] is activated at error occurrences on the communication line. The
protective function [E.1 (fault data: HF1)] is activated at error occurrences in the communication circuit inside the
option.
• Fault output indicates the fault (ALM) signal and fault bit output.
• When the fault output setting is active, fault records are stored in the fault history. (A fault record is written to the fault
history at a fault output.)
• When the fault output setting is not active, fault record is overwritten to the fault history temporarily but not stored.
After the error is removed, the fault indication is reset, changing the display back to normal, and the last fault is
displayed in the fault history.
• When Pr.502  "0", the normal deceleration time setting (setting in Pr.8, Pr.44, Pr.45, or the like) is applied as the
deceleration time.
• The acceleration time at a restart is the ordinary acceleration time setting (e.g. Pr.7, Pr.44).
• When the Pr.502 setting is "2, 3, or 4", the operation/speed command at a restart is the one given before the error
occurrence.
• When a communication line error occurs at the Pr.502 setting of "2", removing the error during deceleration causes
acceleration to restart at that point. (Acceleration is not restarted if the error is that of the option unit itself.)
CAUTION
 When Pr.502 = "3" and a communication line error occurs, or Pr.502 = "4" and a communication line error or a communication
option fault occurs, the operation continues. When setting "3 or 4" in Pr.502, provide a safety stop countermeasure other than
via communication. For example, input a signal through an external terminal (RES, MRS, or X92) or press the PU stop on the
operation panel.

 Signal names are initial values. Using Pr.180 to Pr.186, you can change output signal functions. Refer to the Instruction Manual
(Detailed) of the inverter for details of Pr.180 to Pr.186.
 For the FR-F800 series, no function is assigned in the initial setting.
 These signals are set in the initial setting. Using Pr.190, output signal assigned to the device number can be changed.
For the details of Pr.190, refer to the Instruction Manual (Detailed) of the inverter.

NOTE
• Only when the contents of the command request (request for changing the inverter setting: PKW, HSW, STW/ECW)
from the master changed, the inverter processes the request. If the contents of the command request are identical
with those of the last request, the inverter does not process the request. (The received request is cleared.)
For instance, while the master keeps sending the "network operation mode enable" command, changing the mode to
the PU operation mode with switchover function does not allow the "network operation mode enable" command to be
executed due to the same contents as that sent last time. Therefore, the operation mode remains the PU operation
mode without changing to the Network operation mode. In this case, send another command as "PU operation mode
enable" from the master once, then send the "network operation mode enable" command again. 7

 NOTE
• Only when the contents of the command request (request for changing the inverter setting: PKW) from the master
changed, the inverter processes the request. If the contents of the command request are identical with those of the
last request, the inverter does not process the request. (The received request is cleared.)
For instance, while the master keeps sending the "network operation mode enable" command, changing the mode to
the PU operation mode with switchover function does not allow the "network operation mode enable" command to be
executed due to the same contents as that sent last time. Therefore, the operation mode remains the PU operation
mode without changing to the Network operation mode.
In this case, send another command as "PU operation mode enable" from the master once, then send the "network
operation mode enable" command again.
