The KP inverter are equipped with an RS232C/RS-485 port, which allows remote monitoring and remote
operations over networks.
The following protocol is supported:
Model Suported protocol

The KP inverter has the following communications functions:
Reading settings and data
Executing operation commands
CompoWay/F is OMRON's unified communications protocol for general-purpose serial communications. This
unified format has a proven track record with OMRON Programmable Controllers, has FINS-compliant
commands (see note), and simplifies communications between the host computer and components.
Note:
FINS (Factory Interface Network service) is a messaging protocol for communications between Controllers in
OMRON FA networks.
Compoway/F
Compoway/F, MODBUS
Modbus is a standard communications control method that conforms to the Modicon Company’s RTU-mode
Modbus Protocol (PI-MBUS-300 Revision J).
Supports functions are similar to the CompoWay/F Read Variable Area, Write Variable Area, Operation
Command.
