1.2.2 Installing 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
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.

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

2.2.2 Communication 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.
