
Make connection in accordance with the instruction manual of the computer to be used with.
Fully check the terminal numbers of the computer since they vary with the model.

The drive units may be affected by reflection depending on the transmission speed or transmission distance. If this reflection hinders communication,
provide a terminating resistor. If the PU connector is used to make a connection, use a distributor since a terminating resistor cannot be fitted. Connect the
terminating resistor to only the drive unit remotest from the computer. (Terminating resistor: 100)
NOTE
 Do not use pins No. 2, 8 of the communication cable. (Refer to page 201)
 When making RS-485 communication with a combination of the FR-E700EX series, FR-E500 series, and FR-S500
series, incorrect connection of pins No.2 and 8 (parameter unit power supply) of the above PU connector may result
in a malfunction or failure of the inverter or drive unit.
(Refer to page 201)
(4) Two-wire type connection
If the computer is 2-wire type, a connection from the drive unit can be changed to 2-wire type by passing wires across
reception terminals and transmission terminals of the PU connector pin.
Transmission enable
REMARKS
 A program should be created so that transmission is disabled (receiving state) when the computer is not sending and reception
is disabled (sending state) during sending to prevent the computer from receiving its own data.
 The passed wiring length should be as short as possible.
