What are the notes for the Parameter Object (Vender Specific Profiles) for the TOSHIBA TOSVERT VF-S15?
When you use this command, the value is written to the EEPROM.
Do not use application of writing into inverter parameters more than 100,000 times.
The Life of EEPROM is approximately 100,000 times.
Frequent writing to the EEPROM of inverter will cause a memory corruption.
How do you set the value for “Acc. time” in seconds to the Parameter Object (Class code 0x65) for the TOSHIBA TOSVERT VF-S15?
For example, in case of set 5 sec. to “Acc. time”, the minimum unit of “Acc. time” is 0.1 sec., the set value is 5/ 0.1 = 50 = 0x0032 (Hex.).
And the communication number of “Acc. time” is “0009”.
So, set the value 0x0032 to Class 0x65, Instance 0009, Attribute 3 to use Set Single Attribute service.
How should the Instance ID be set when accessing parameters from Class code 0x64 for the TOSHIBA TOSVERT VF-S15?
