3. Installing the MTS001Z
Install the Metasys®N2 option to VF-PS1 as follows.
Please install this option (MTS001Z) on the top of options when you install two options.
Do not install under the another option.
(1) Turn off input power of VF-PS1 and wait for at least 15 minutes and then check that
the CHARGE lamp on VF-PS1 is no longer lit.
(2)Securing the option to the inverter
a) Insert a flat-blade screwdriver in each of the two holes at the upper part of the
front panel, release the panel mounting tab by pushing the screwdriver down and
remove the front panel cover.
b) Install the option in the inverter by fitting the tabs on the lower side the option into
the slots at the lower part of the inverter front panel.
c) Make sure the option is securely attached to the inverter. Then check whether the
plastic bosses on the inverter case have fitted in the holes at the upper and lower
parts of the option.
d) Insert the tabs at the lower part of the front cover into the slots at the lower part of
the inverter to attach the front cover to the inverter.

3.1. Network cable connection
Connect the Metasys®N2 network cable to communication option as follows.
Title Description
Wire type Shielded twisted cable
Characteristic impedance Between 100 and 130 ohm
Distributed impedance between
conductors Less than 100pF per meter
Distributed impedance between
conductors and shield
Less than 200pF per meter
Foil or braided shield are acceptable.
Length of an MSTP segment 1200 meters with AWG18 (0.8mm2)
Cable sheath should be peeled off by about 7mm.
For wiring work, use a flat blade screwdriver with a 0.6mm thick and
3.5mm width blade.
Tightening torque for the terminal block is 0.5Nm.
* Fix a cable so that a communication connector may be not taken the weight of wire.
3.2. Network configuration
Make up the network as follows.
- Transmission/reception signals (A, B)
Make up the communication path by connecting all transmission/reception data cables.
- Signal common (GND)
GND is the signal common.
- Grounding the shield of cable (SCR)
Connect the all shield lines of network cable. The shield shall be grounded at one end only
prevent currents from being created.
- Termination resistor
A termination resistance of 120 ohms plus or minus 5% shall be connected at each of the two
ends of the segment medium. This option has a termination resistor, so if use, set up the
termination resistor SW. (Refer to 2.1 Outline)
At least one set, and no more than two sets, of network bias resistors shall exist for each segment.
This option has local bias resistors.

** When the parameters are changed, the power must be cycled (or set f899 to 1) to the
VF-PS1 for the changes to take effect.
Note) When cmod or fmod is set to “Communication option input”, VF-PS1 drives without
RSCMDMOD (Binary Output Object - 10) or FRCMDMOD (Binary Output
Object - 11) at each Objects.
4.2. f832: Network Time-Out
Set the communication loss action time to f832. The network loss action function starts
from receiving the properly frame message. The action of the network communication
loss is set by f851.

E6581539
- 11 -
4.3. f851: Operation at communication error by disconnection
This parameter sets up the VF-PS1 response to a loss of communications with the
Metasys®N2 network.
0: Stop and Communication release
The inverter decelerates the motor to a stop and gives an alarm (the leftmost LED
flashes). Commands entered through the network are canceled, and the
commands set with parameters cmod and fmod become effective.
When communications are restored, the alarm is turned off.
1: None
The inverter remains in the state where it was when the problem arose, and it gives
an alarm.
2: Deceleration stop
The inverter decelerates the motor to a stop and gives an alarm. Commands
entered through the network are not canceled.
3: Coast stop
The inverter issues a command for a frequency of 0Hz and gives an alarm.
Commands entered through the network are not canceled.
4: Emergency stop
The error message err8 is displayed. Commands entered through the network are
not canceled.
When communications are restored, the inverter is not restored to working order and
the error message err8 does not disappear until the inverter is reset.
5: Preset speed operation command
Refer to Section 4.4.
4.4. f852: Preset speed operation selection
If the communication loss action (parameter f851) is set to 5 (preset speed command),
the VF-PS1 will run at a preset speed as set up by this parameter in the case of a
communication loss (with alarm). Commands entered through the network are not
canceled.
For example,
If the inverter is set as described below,
f851 = 5 (preset speed operation command)
f852 = 8 (preset speed operation frequency 8)
f287 (preset speed operation frequency 8) = 10 (10Hz)
Operation is carried out as follows.
Network Operation of the VF-PS1
Normal conditions ...........Operates according to commands entered through the network.
↓↓
Communications loss......Operates at 10Hz.
↓↓
Restoration......................Operates according to commands entered through the network.

R-CC terminal closed:
F-CC terminal short to RUN
F-CC terminal short to STOP
Output frequency is set up by the RR/S4 signal input.
Note) When “local / remote key” (2) is chosen as EASY key selection (f750) and EASY
key lamp of an inverter front panel lights, priority is most given to operation by a
panel. (Refer to the inverter instruction manual for details).
When operation/stop is by the control terminal and only a monitor is by N2, set
the functional number 48 (communication priority release) to the unused control
terminal and turn on or set 48 to the always active function selection (f110, or
f127 or f128).
Note) The local mode of the panel has priority over Metasys®N2 local control.
