"Test operation" allows the selected inverter's frequency to be displayed,
operation mode to be switched and displayed, forward and reverse operation
commands to be sent, setting frequency to be written, and other functions to
be done.
Used for creating sequence programs and writing them to the inverter to
enable the use of the PLC function of the inverter.
Used for editing the parameter setting values (USB memory parameter copy
file) read from the inverter to the USB memory.
Used for converting a file in the backup/restore format generated by the
Mitsubishi Electric GOT (Human Machine Interface). The file is converted into
the format that can be used for editing the USB memory parameter copy file
or in Developer.

1.2 System configuration
*1 When using a serial port of a personal computer, a commercially available converter is required.
Examples of product available on the market (as of November 2013)
Model: DINV-CABV (with connectors and cable)
Diatrend Corp.
The converter cable cannot connect two or more inverters (the computer and inverter are connected on a 1:1 basis). This is an RS232C-to-RS485
converter-embedded conversion cable. No additional cable or connector is required. Contact a manufacturer for details of the product.
*2 Connection cable
Examples of product available on the market (as of February 2015)
Connector: RJ-45 connector
Example: Tyco Electronics
5-554720-3
Cable: Cable in compliance with EIA568 (such as 10BASE-T cable)
Example: Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd.
SGLPEV-T (Cat5e/300m) 24AWG × 4P
*3 USB/RS-485 convert cable
Examples of product available on the market (as of February 2015)
Model: DINV-U4
Diatrend Corp.
Refer to page 63 for the communication setting with DINV-U4.
When using USB/RS-485 convert cable, use the newest driver software.
For a product details or the newest driver software, contact the cable manufacturer.

• To change an inverter parameter value, use the operation panel or parameter unit. Only one of the operation unit and FR
Configurator2 (personal computer) can be connected to the PU connector.
• For details on each inverter communication parameter, refer to the Instruction Manual (Detailed) of the inverter.
• Parameter clear/All parameter clear by the operation panel or the parameter unit clears communication parameter settings
and disables the communication with FR Configurator2.

Description
Set the inverter station number.
Set the inverter station numbers when two or more
inverters are connected to one personal computer.
RS-485 communication is enabled. However, the
inverter output is shut off if operation is changed to
NET operation mode.
Set the interval of communication check (signal loss
detection) time. If a no-communication state persists
for the permissible time or longer, the inverter output is
shut off.
Set the waiting time between data transmission to the
inverter and response.
Mitsubishi inverter protocol (computer link)
The communication option is the command interface
enabled in the NET operation mode.
The RS-485 terminals are the command interface
enabled in the NET operation mode.
Communication option is recognized automatically.
Basically, the RS-485 terminals are the command
interface. When the communication option is installed,
the communication option is the command interface.
The RS-485 terminals are the command interface
enabled in the PU operation mode.
The PU connector is the command interface enabled
in the PU operation mode.
The USB connector is the command interface in the
PU operation mode.
USB automatic recognition
Basically, the operation panel (PU connector) is the
command interface. When the USB connector is used,
it is the command interface.

NOTE
• Always reset the inverter after making the setting of the parameters. After you have changed the communication-related
parameters, communication cannot be established until the inverter reset.
1.4.6Connection through GOT (FA transparent function)
Using the FA transparent function of GOT1000/GOT2000 series, connecting an inverter to FR Configurator2 is available
through a GOT. The FA transparent function enables reading, writing and monitoring of a programmable controller of Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation through a GOT, while connecting the Mitsubishi Electric programmable controller and a personal
computer. A serial port or USB is used for connecting the personal computer and the GOT. RS422/485 is used for connecting
the GOT and the inverter. In this configuration, operation with the FR-E700 inverter is not guaranteed.

For the GOT1000 series, an RS-422 communication unit (GT15-RS4-9S) is required. When using the USB for connecting a
GOT, use a dedicated cable, GT09-C30USB-5P or GT09-C20USB-5P. For the compatible version of the GOT or details of the
RS-422/485 connection, refer to the GOT1000/GOT2000 Series Connection Manual.

1.4 Connection and parameter setting
NOTE
• Do not perform the following operation while the FA transparent function is valid and FR Configurator2 is in online mode.
Online operation (project download, etc.) from GT Designer / GT Designer2 to GOT
Online operation to programmable controller CPU by using FA transparent function of GX Developer or GX Works2
• When using FA transparent communication, communication error (timeout) may occur when FR Configurator2 starts
communication during timeout occurrence in a GOT (when a GOT is monitoring the inverter which is not connected). In that
case, set the timeout time value more than the following. (Refer to page 63.)
Timeout value of GOT [s] × (Retry count of GOT + 1)
If the value above is more than 30 [s], make adjustment to "Timeout value" [s] and "Retry count" of GOT to make the value
above become less than 30 [s].

GOT2000 series automatic recognition
• When a GOT2000 model is connected, the parameters required for the GOT connection are automatically changed by
setting the automatic recognition in the GOT2000 model.
• Set the station number (Pr.117 or Pr.331) of the inverter before the automatic recognition is performed.
• Connect all the stations of inverters with GOT before the automatic recognition is performed. The inverter newly added
after automatic recognition will not be recognized automatically. (When an inverter is added, perform the initial setting in
Pr.999 Automatic parameter setting or set the automatic recognition on the GOT side again.)

• FR Configurator2 parameter list supports the latest inverter at the time of FR Configurator2 upgrade. The setting range, initial
value, number of parameters, etc., may be different with the inverter before upgrading (additional functions).
• Although the parameter name of the instruction manual and the parameter name of FR Configurator2 may be different, there
is no difference in the parameter function.
• Pr.296 and Pr.297 do not appear in the parameter list. Pr.296 and Pr.297 will not change even if parameter settings of another
inverter are read. Change Pr.296 and Pr.297 from the operation panel or the parameter unit.

3.1 Parameter list
NOTE
• If the setting value of Pr.342 is changed from "0" to "1" by batch writing, only the Pr.77 Parameter write selection, Pr.122 PU
communication check time interval, and Pr.336 RS-485 communication check time interval setting values will be written
to RAM only. (They will not be written to EEPROM.) To change the setting values for Pr.77, Pr.122, and Pr.336, write from the
parameter unit or the operation panel.
• Due to the setting values of Pr.77 Parameter write selection and Pr.79 Operation mode selection, when batch writing
parameters a write error will occur for Pr.122 PU communication check time interval, Pr.336 RS-485 communication
check time interval, and Pr.342 Communication EEPROM write selection.
• For the FR-A820-55K (03160) or FR-A840-55K (01800), changing the Pr.570 Multiple rating setting to the SLD or LD rating
(Pr.570="0" or "1") does not change the minimum increment and setting range displays of Pr.90 to 94, Pr.458 to Pr.462,
Pr.859, and Pr.860. If a setting value is entered in accordance with the displayed minimum increment, the lower digits may be
dropped when it is written to the inverter.
Example with Pr.90 Motor constant (R1): "0.001" is displayed on the parameter list, but the inverter's minimum setting
increment is "0.01". If "12.567" is input in this condition, "12.56" is written to the inverter.
• When writing to Pr.570 Multiple rating setting fails during batch writing, writing to other parameters is also canceled.
• All parameter clear is performed when the Pr.570 setting is changed. Therefore, when a password is set in Pr.297 Password
lock/unlock, the password is unlocked.

• If an option non-compatible with the target inverter is connected to the source inverter, if a unit for setting a parameter is fixed
by the option while Pr.37 Speed display and Pr.144 Speed setting switchover of the source inverter are set to change the
