To summarize –
For FR-CS80, FR-A800 and FR-F800 – FR-Configurator2.
For FR-D700 and FR-E700 – FR- Configurator1.3
Interconnection Mediums
Most FR-A800 and FR0F800 drives use a mini-USB connector cable for interfacing
Connection is being established via a standard Mini USB B type cable:
OPTION 1 For connection to the PU Port:
This interface has is the following cable; SC-FRPC (SCFRPC) (Green inverter communication cable – also known as the green mamba)
To summarize –
Most FR-A800 and FR-F800 drives use a mini-USB connector cable for interfacing.
The rest (FR-CS80, FR-E700 and FR-D700) will require interconnection via the RS-485 serial interconnection interface.
This should cover all the drive parameterization configuration interconnections.
