Chapter１ Before Using FRENIC Loader

This chapter gives an overview of the inverter support software FRENIC Loader and provisions for its

installation and operation.

１.１. Overview

１.１.１. Features

・ Loader enables a PC to support remote operation of inverters either individually or

collectively via the RS-485 port on the inverters or the USB port on the TP-E1U(option).

・ Simplified operation of Loader allows you to easily manage and set the function code data

for the inverter.

・ Real-time trace allows you to monitor operation status of the inverters real-time in a graph

chart format with data lists, and to save the monitored result in a file that is useful to analyze

operation of a system configured with inverters.

１.１.２. Warranty

Limited

Warranty

In no event will Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. be held liable for any damage

(including, but not limited to lost profit, suspension or interruption of

operations, loss of operational data or other monetary loss) whatsoever

resulting from the use of the software or malfunction of the same or from

information contained in this document.

2) To minimize the effects of noise, separate the signal lines from the power lines.

Refer to ”１.２.２.３Noise suppression”.

3) The inverter cannot be concurrently shared by the Loader-running PC and

other host equipment (e.g., PLC). To use Loader, therefore, be sure to

disconnect the cables of other host equipment from the RS-485 port on the

inverter.

4) For multi-drop connection of inverters, assign different station addresses to

each of the inverters connected.

• Be sure to turn off the power to the inverters and related devices before making

RS-485 connection.

Risk of electric shock if this warning is not heeded.

１.２.２.２. Communications support devices for RS-485

It describes the equipment required to connect a personal computer that does not include an

RS-485 interface.

[ 1 ] Converter

Usually PCs are not equipped with an RS-485 communications port but with an RS-232C port.

To connect inverters to a PC, therefore, you need an RS-232C–RS-485 converter or a

USB–RS-485 converter. To run the FRENIC-HVAC correctly, use a converter satisfying the

requirements given below.

Recommended converter spec

Send/receive switching: Auto-switching by monitoring of send/receive data status at the PC (RS-232C)

Electric isolation: Electrically isolated from the RS-485 port

Fail-safe: Fail-safe facility*

Other requirements: Superior noise immunity

* The fail-safe facility refers to a feature that ensures the RS-485 receiver's output at "High"

(logical value = 0) even if the RS-485 receiver's input is opened or short-circuited or all the

RS-485 drivers are inactive.

Recommended converter

System Sacom Sales Corporation (Japan) :KS-485PTI (RS-232C - RS-485 converter)

:USB-485I RJ45-T4P (USB - RS-485 converter)

[ 2 ] Cable

To ensure the reliability of connection, use twisted pair shield cables for long distance

transmission AWG 16 to 26.

Recommended LAN cable

Manufacturer: FURUKAWA Electric Co., Ltd.

AWM2789 Cable for long distance connection

Type (Product code): DC23225-2PB

１.２.２.３. Noise suppression

Depending on the operating environment, instruments may malfunction due to the noise

generated by the inverter. Possible measures to prevent such malfunction are: separating the

wiring, use of shielded cable, isolating the power supply, and adding an inductance component.

Show below is an example of adding an inductance component.

Adding inductance components

To suppress or eliminate noise for keeping the network in high noise immunity level, insert

inductance components such as choke coils in series in the signal circuit, or pass the RS-485

communications cable through a ferrite core ring or wind it around by 2 or 3 turns as shown

below to keep the impedance of the signal lines high.

Figure １.２ Adding an Inductance Component

[ 1 ] Connection Methods

Select the method to connect the loader.

Connect Loader Directly to Inverter

Select this method when connecting your PC to the inverter directly, not via MICREX-SX

Controller.

(You can select one of the two communication types: RS485 or USB.)


31

[ 2 ] Port

You can do settings on communications. (In the initial status, you can establish communications

without changing any setting because the PC initial settings are well matched with those of the

inverter.)

RS-485

Select this method when connecting your PC to the inverter via RS-485.

・Port setting

Choose the PC communication port to which you connected the USB - RS-485 converter /

RS-232C - RS-485 converter.

・Baud rate

Set the transmission rate. You must select the transmission rate same as the one for the

inverter.

・Flow control

Since the recommended converter manages the flow control by automatic switching

through transmission data monitoring, you do not have to change this setting. The flow

control is a method that uses RS-232C control signals to control RS-485

transmission/reception switching.

・Data length

Set the data length per frame. However, regardless of the setting is fixed to "8bit".

・Parity

Set the parity type. However, regardless of the setting is fixed to "Even".

・Stop bit

Set the stop bit length per frame. However, regardless of the setting is fixed to "1bit".

USB connection

Select if you want to connect a personal computer and an inverter with a USB cable via

the TP-E1U (option).

Please select the "Data in Inverter (via Keypad)".

32

[ 3 ] Communication Conditions

Do the settings on the communication retry.

・Retry count

This sets how many times communication allows retry in case of failure. As the retry count

increases, the possibility to succeed communications may increase. However, it will take

time until the error dialog appears. The count of one or so is recommended.

・Time out

If no response is received from the inverter within the time limit set here, the communication
