3 INVERTER FUNCTION CODE SETTINGS
Depending on the desired operation of the overall application, the inverter function codes listed in Table
2 are important for proper operation of the end-to-end communication system. Although there may be
many other function codes that will require configuration for your specific application, it is important to
understand the manner in which the following function codes will impact successful control of the
inverter.
User’s Manual, “y codes: Link Functions”, and RS-485 Communication User's Manual
Table 2: Function Code Settings Overview
Code Name
3.1 Inverter Control-Related Settings
The following function codes relate to whether or not the inverter is to be controlled (command word
and/or frequency command) from the network, or whether the inverter will be locally-controlled (and
therefore only monitored and/or configured via the network.)
Bus Link Function (Mode Selection) (y98)
If the inverter is to be controlled from the network, then set the value of y98 to 3 (fieldbus option). A
setting of 3 for y98 may also be appropriate even if H30 is configured for an alternate (local) control
scheme.
When the inverter is controlled from the network, a selection of reference commands (S?? function
codes) are available for controlling the inverter’s speed. If multiple reference commands are being
modified from the network, then the interface card invokes a hierarchy to determine which reference is to
be passed to the inverter as its main reference command.
The S?? function code hierarchy is as follows, listed from highest to lowest priority:
• S01 (frequency reference / per-unit)
• S05 (frequency reference / Hz)
• S19 (speed command)
• S02 (torque command)
• S03 (torque current command)
• S13 (PID command)
The highest-priority S?? function code with a non-zero value will be used as the inverter’s main
reference command.

4 FUJI FINDER APPLICATION
The Fuji Finder application is a Microsoft Windows® -based PC program which provides several
configuration and maintenance utilities for the OPC-G1-ETH, such as Ethernet-based IP address
configuration and USB-based firmware updating. The Fuji finder installation files are located on the CDROM included with the OPC-G1-ETH kit.
4.1 Installation
The Fuji Finder setup will install all required files and USB device drivers. Note that the Fuji Finder
program should be installed before connecting any OPC-G1-ETH devices to the computer’s USB
port, as the program contains product-specific USB drivers that must be installed on the
computer prior to initial connection of the target device.
Launch the install executable
To start the installation of the Fuji Finder application, run the “SETUP” executable located on the CDROM included with the OPC-G1-ETH kit.

4.2 USB Driver Installation
By using a USB mini-B cable, an OPC-G1-ETH card can be connected to the PC, powered, and
updated. This section explains setting up the PC to work with an OPC-G1-ETH.
After the Fuji Finder application is installed, the PC will be able to automatically install the appropriate
USB driver when an OPC-G1-ETH card is connected via USB. Note that the Fuji Finder application
must be installed prior to connecting an OPC-G1-ETH card to the PC: the PC will not be able to
automatically install the USB driver until the Fuji Finder installation is complete.
The following sections will provide an overview of the USB driver installation procedure for Windows XP
and Windows 7. Other versions of Windows may have slightly different procedures.
4.2.1 Windows XP
If this is the first time connecting the card to your computer, the operating system will prompt you to
install the card’s USB driver.

Figure 16: USB Driver Installation Complete Screen
Because the OPC -G1-ETH interface card is a USB composite device (which is to say that it presents
multiple virtual representations to the computer), after the vendor-specific USB driver has been installed
as detailed above, Windows will then additionally identify the device as a USB mass storage device
(also known as a “flash drive” or “removable disk”), and automatically install the default Windows USB
mass storage device drivers. Once this is completed, the operating system may automatically pop up a
Windows Explorer window showing the file contents of the OPC-G1-ETH’s on-board filesystem (Figure
17). This window can be closed at this time if desired.
Figure 17: Windows Explorer Removable Disk View
23
4.2.2 Windows 7
Enhancements in Windows 7 automate the installation of USB drivers to such a degree that no user
interaction should be required. When the OPC-G1-ETH card is initially connected to the computer, the
operating system should automatically locate and install the appropriate USB driver. Once completed,
the operating system may display a dialog box similar to that shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18: Windows 7 USB Driver Successful Installation
Because the OPC -G1-ETH interface card is a USB composite device (which is to say that it presents
multiple virtual representations to the computer), after the vendor-specific USB driver has been installed
as detailed above, Windows will then additionally identify the device as a USB mass storage device
(also known as a “flash drive” or “removable disk”), and automatically install the default Windows USB
mass storage device drivers. Once this is completed, the operating system may automatically pop up an
AutoPlay window showing the options available for the removable disk (Figure 19). This window can be
closed at this time if desired.

4.3 Overview
The “Fuji Finder” application is a simple Windows PC program, which when executed discovers all OPCG1-ETH cards on the current Ethernet subnet, regardless of whether or not their network parameters are
currently compatible with the subnet upon which they reside. The utility is also used to update firmware.
These functions are accessed via two tabs available on the Finder application main program window
(refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21.)
Figure 20: Fuji Finder Ethernet tab
Figure 21: Fuji Finder USB tab
25
4.4 Ethernet Tab
All devices discovered on the current Ethernet subnet can be organized in ascending or descending
order by clicking on the desired sort header (Product, IP Address, MAC Address or Application
Firmware). The buttons on the left side of the window perform the following actions:
Update IP Settings: Allows configuration of the static IP parameters. Refer to section 4.6
information.
Open Web: Opens a web browser page of the selected device. Refer to section 5
Reboot Device: Reboots the currently-selected interface card. The Finder application will t hen
automatically rescan the network.
Refresh List: Causes the Finder application to rescan the network.
Note that in order for the Finder application to discover devices on the Ethernet subnet, certain UDP
traffic must be allowed in and out of the computer, and firewall applications (such as Windows Firewall)
are often configured to block such traffic by default. If the Finder is unable to discover any devices on the
current subnet, be sure to check the computer’s firewall settings during troubleshooting, and add an
exception to the firewall configuration if necessary. The Finder application uses UDP port 4334.
4.5 USB Tab
All devices connected to the computer via USB can be organized in ascending or descending order by
clicking on the desired sort header (Product, Manufacturer or Application Firmware). The buttons on the
left side of the window perform the following actions:
Device Info: Provides general device info.
Update Firmware: Update the firmware. Refer to section 7.3
View Files: Provides access to the on-board file system with Windows Explorer. Refer to section 7.1
Reboot Device: Reboots the interface card. The Finder will automatically detect the card once it has
completed rebooting.
.
4.6 Configuring the IP Address
Before you can access the interface card from your web browser or begin using it as a part of your
automation network, you must assign it an IP address that is appropriate for the subnet on wh ic h the
card will reside. The interface card comes from the factory configured with a static IP address of
192.168.16.102. Modifying the IP address can be accomplished with the Finder application via the
following procedure:
1. Connect the interface card to the same Ethernet subnet on which the computer resides and apply
power to the inverter in which it is installed.
2. Start the Fuji Finder application.
3. The Finder application will scan the Ethernet network for Fuji devices and then display each
device’s information on the “Ethernet” tab. Refer to Figure 20. If multiple devices are discovered,
identify the targeted device via its unique MAC address (printed on a barcode label on the lefthand side of the interface card).
4. To change the IP address, select the device in the list of detected devices.
5. Configure the IP Address Settings with the desired IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway in the appropriate boxes. Click the Update IP Settings button to apply the changes.
6. A popup dialog box will prompt you to reboot. Click Yes. The dialog box will automatically close
when the device is done rebooting.
7. The Finder application will automatically rescan the network. Confirm that the new IP address has
been accepted by the device.

5 EMBEDDED WEB SERVER
5.1 Overview
The interface contains an embedded web server (also known as an HTTP server), which allows users to
access the inverter’s internal data in a graphical manner with web browsers such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. In this way, the inverter can be monitored, configured and controlled from
across the room or from across the globe.
In order to view the interface’s factory-default web page, the free Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash
Player browser plug-in is required. If the plug-in is not already installed on your computer, then your
browser will automatically be redirected to the appropriate Adobe download web site when you initially
attempt to access the interface’s web page. Alternatively, the plug-in can be downloaded directly from
http://www.adobe.com. Always ensure that you have the latest version of the Flash Player installed: if
some aspect of the web page does not appear to be displayed properly, installing the latest Flash Player
update usually resolves the problem.
To access an interface’s embedded web server, either use the finder application (refer to section 4) and
select the “Open Web” button when the target unit is highlighted, or just directly enter the target unit’s IP
address into the address (URL) field of your web browser. Refer to Figure 22 for a representative
screenshot of the web server interface.
Figure 22: Embedded Web Server
In order to access the web server and view the function code values, destination TCP ports 80 and 2000
must be accessible from the client computer. If an “XML socket connection failed” error message is
displayed in the information window, and no function code values are shown, this is typically indicative of
port 2000 being blocked by a firewall or Ethernet router situated between the client computer and the
interface card.

5.2 Page Select Tabs
The web interface is subdivided into several different “tabs” of associated informatio n, much the same as
how folders in a filing cabinet are arranged. Refer to Figure 23. To change tabs, just click on the tab you
wish to view. The title of the currently-selected tab is red. Note that because different protocols are
supported by the interface with different firmware images, not all tabs may be accessible wi t h the
firmware image currently loaded. The titles of tabs that are not accessible are grayed-out, and clicking
them has no effect.

selecting the starting group,
and then holding down the SHIFT key while selecting the last group in the range. When a function code
group is selected, the function codes contained in that group are displayed in the Function Code List
(refer to section 5.3.3). The following function code groups are available:
All: All function codes/registers are available.
Fundamental Functions: F function codes are available.
Extension Terminal Functions: E function codes are available.

Control Functions of Frequency: C function codes are available.
Motor 1 Parameters: P function codes are available.
Motor 2 Parameters: A function codes are available.
Motor 3 Parameters: b function codes are available.
Motor 4 Parameters: r function codes are available.
High Performance Functions: H function codes are available.
Application Functions 1: J function codes are available.
Application Functions 2: d function codes are available.
Link Functions: y function codes are available.
Command Data: S function codes are available.
Monitor Data 1: M function codes are available.
Monitor Data 2: W function codes are available.
Alarm Data 1: X function codes are available.
Alarm Data 2: Z function codes are available.
Operational Functions: o function codes are available.
5.3.3 Function Code List
The bottom half of the Monitor tab contains the function code list (refer to Figure 26). The function codes
that are displayed in the list at any given time depend on the function code groups that are currently
selected (refer to section 5.3.2), as well as whether or not any filters have been applied (refer to section
5.3.4).
The first column of the Function Code List shows the inverter function co de designation that is normally
used when accessing a given function code via the inverter’s keypad. Note that this column is for user
convenience and inverter user’s manual cross-reference.
The second column of the Function Code List shows the register number for the corresponding function
code. Certain protocols require the use of a register number to access the function code (refer to section
6). The third column contains the function code descriptions, which are used by the filter function. The
last column performs two functions: it displays the current value of the function code, and (for writable
function codes) also allows changing the function code’s value by clicking on the number in the value
column and entering the new value.

Some items to keep in mind when interacting with the Function Code List are:
• When entering new function code values, be sure that the number being entered is appropriate for
the currently-selected radix (refer to section 5.3.5): for example, an entered value of “1000” in
hexadecimal is equal to 4096 in decimal.
• If desired, the column widths can be changed by dragging the vertical bars that separate the header
row’s cells to a different position.
• If you begin changing a function code value and then decide to abandon the change, pressing the
ESC key on your keyboard will abandon the change and redisplay the current function code value.
• When editing a function code value, clicking someplace off the entry cell is equivalent to hitting the
ENTER key.
5.3.4 Function Code List Filter
A filter function provides Function Code List search
capabilities. To use the filter function, simply type a
word or portion of a word into the filter entry box and
then click the “filter” button. Refer to Figure 27.
The filter will then display only those function codes
currently available in the Function Code List that satisfy the search criteria. For example, to find all
monitor data 1 function codes that contain some derivative of the word “volt” (such as “voltage” or
“volts”), select the “Monitor Data 1” group, enter “volt” in the filter entry box, and then click the “filter”
button.
Once a filter has been entered, it will continue to be applied to all information normally displayed in the
Function Code List for as long as the filter term is left in the filter entry box. Continuing the previous
example where we filtered on the root term “volt” in the monitor data 1 group, we can then easily apply
this filter to all available function codes simply by selecting the “All” function code group. The Function
Code List will now display all command, monitor, configuration etc. function codes that contain the root
term “volt”.
To remove the filter, delete any characters contained in the filter entry box and then click the “filter”
button.
5.3.5 Radix Selection
Figure 28 shows the radix selection buttons. These selection buttons
allow changing the Function Code List “value” column data display
and entry radix between decimal and hexadecimal formats.
When “DEC” is selected, the “value” column heading will be “Value (Decimal)”, current function code values will be displayed in decimal,
and values to be written to function codes must be entered in decimal format. For example, to change
the inverter’s frequency command to 40.00Hz, enter the decimal value 4000.
Similarly, when “HEX” is selected, the “value” column heading will be “Value (Hexadecimal)”, current
function code values will be displayed in hexadecimal, and values to be written to function codes must
be entered in hexadecimal format. For example, to turn on bit #10 in the inverter’s operation command
word, enter the hexadecimal number 0400.
