12.5 Checking Setting Contents and Errors
2. Communication setting using parameters
Verify that the communication setting parameters are suitable for use. If the communication setting
parameters are not suitable for use, communication will not function correctly. After changing any setting,
make sure to reboot the PLC's power.
→ For the MODBUS communication settings, refer to Chapter 5.
3. Presence of RS or RS2 instructions
Verify that neither the RS nor RS2 instructions are being used on the same channel as the MODBUS
communication.
If either instruction is being used on the same channel, delete it, and then reboot the PLC's power.
4. Presence of IVCK, IVDR, IVRD, IVWR, and IVBWR instructions
Verify that none of the dedicated Inverter communication instructions are being used on the same channel as
the MODBUS communication.
If any of the instructions are being used on the same channel, delete it, and then reboot the PLC's power.
