Omron RX Series Communication Option Board

The Omron communication option board is used for running or stopping the inverter, setting or referencing parameters, and monitoring output frequency, output current through communications with the host controller. The option board serves as a gateway that passes communicated register values from the PROFIBUS network to the Inverter and vice versa.

The PROFIBUS Master can read and write parameter data via the Option Board using the mailboxes provided by some modules, as well as a PROFIdrive DP-V1 parameter channel.
The Option Board can be set up easily, just by wiring the Unit, setting the PROFIBUS node address (P180) and device profile (P182) and restarting the unit.
The Unit's configuration is read automatically when the power is turned ON. It is not necessary to make any settings with a special Programming Device.
All parameters required by the Option Board are stored in the Inverter.
The Option Board can be replaced, requiring no re-configuration.
The Option Board automatically detects the Master's communication baud rate, and no user configuration is required.
