1.2.2Installing the Setup Software

To use the VFD Setup Software (FR-SW1-SETUP-WE), the files included in the setup disks must be installed onto the personal computer.

When using an old version inverter setup software, move the setting file you have created from the default folder

where the file is placed to another folder. Also, be sure to uninstall *4 the old version software before installing a new setup software.

To install the VFD Setup Software, use the setup program (SETUP.EXE) on the Setup Disk (CD-ROM). The setup program creates a directory on the specified hard disk and copies the required files.

CAUTION

1.Since the files in the Setup Disk are compressed, the VFD Setup Software will not operate by merely copying the files. Always use the setup program to install the software.

2.Install the software in accordance with the Windows installation procedure.

3.When installing on Windows 95, be sure to install Microsoft DCOM95 for Windows 95, Version 1.3 before installing setup software. You can download DCOM95 for Windows 95, Version 1.3 from the following website of Microsoft Corporation. Note that URL is subject to variation.

http://www.microsoft.com/com/

4.For uninstallation, use [Uninstall] of the inverter setup software or [Setting] of the [Start] menu-[Add/ Remove Programs Properties] of [Control panel].

•Installation procedure

Use the following procedure to register (install) the VFD Setup Software onto the hard disk drive of the personal computer:

(1)Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

(2)Press the [Start] button and choose the [Run] command.

CAUTION

Close any other applications that have already been started.

Preparations for Startup

(3)Running the installation program

1)The [Run] dialog box appears.

2)Type "D:\SETUP" (use half-size letters) in [Open] and click the [OK] button or press the key. (When the CD-ROM drive is drive D)

3)After that, perform operation in accordance with the setup guide (screen).

(4)When file copying is over, the following screen appears. Always enter the user and company names and click the [OK] button.

Installation is not completed unless the user and company names are entered.

(5)When installation is finished, the "Uninstall", "VFD Setup S/W" and "VFD Setup S/W Help" icons are registered and the following screen appears.

2.2.2Communication Settings

The VFD Setup Software uses the serial port of the personal computer to control the inverters through serial communication. Its communication settings must be the same as those of the inverter. (The initial values of the setup software have been matched with the factory settings of the inverter.)

When you start this software, the initial screen appears. Pressing the [OK] button displays the system setting screen. Choosing the [Settings] → [Communication settings] command on the menu bar. The screen then shows the following dialog box, where various communication settings can be made.

Communication settings will be described below:

3)Data Length (8)

Set the data bit length.

4)Parity Check (Even) Specify the parity bit.

5)Stop Bit (2)

Set the stop bit length.

6)Delimiter (CR)

Specify the delimiter at the data trailer.

7)Interrogate Time [sec] (1)

Set the interval at which data transmission (operation mode indication and error check) is always made to the inverter.

8)Time Out [msec] (1000)

Set the time from when data is transferred from the personal computer to the inverter until when the personal computer receives a reply from the inverter. If a reply is not given after the preset time has passed, the "timeout" error is displayed.

The above set values depend on the inverter connected. Set them after confirming the set values of the communication function parameters of the inverter.

(2)Button settings

CAUTION

When making communication with the inverters, set a value other than 0 in Pr. 122 "communication check time interval" on the inverter's operation panel. For the FR-A5NR, set any value other than 0 in Pr. 336 "communication check time interval", and for the FR-S500 series, set any value other than 0 in the communication parameter n6 (336) "communication check time interval".

(Refer to the inverter instruction manual for the setting method.)

(4) Interrogate time

Set the interval at which data is always sent or received to or from the inverter.

It must be set to at least 2 seconds shorter than the communication check time interval setting of the inverter. If its setting is longer than the communication check time interval setting, the inverter will come to an alarm stop.

CAUTION

The setting of short interrogate time may slow down the response of the menus and buttons on each window depending on the operating model and communication speed.
