The formats of the query and response frames are described below.

(i) Slave address
The slave address is a number 1 to 32 that is assigned to the inverter (slave) beforehand. (A query is
received by the inverter having the same slave address as that specified in the query.)
The query with the slave address set to "0" is broadcasted to all the connected inverters.
With a broadcast query, the master system can neither read inverter data nor perform a loopback test.
(ii) Data
The data contains a functional instruction.
The SJ700 series inverter supports the following Modbus data format:
Data name Description
Coil data 1-bit binary data that can be referenced and changed
Register data 16-bit data that can be referenced and changed
(iii) Function code
The function code specifies the function to be executed by the inverter.
The table below lists the function codes supported by the SJ700 series inverter.
