Inboard options
Name Type Function
12-bit digital input FR-A5AX
Input interface used to set the inverter frequency accurately using external 3-digit BCD or
12-bit binary-coded digital signals.
Gains and offsets can also be adjusted.
Digital output
Among 26 standard output signals of the inverter, this option outputs any 7 selected
signals from open collector output terminals.
Extension analog
output
FR-A5AY
Outputs extra 16 signals which can be monitored on the FM and AM terminals such as
output frequency,
20mADC or 5V(10V)DC meter can be connected.
Relay output FR-A5AR
Among 26 standard output signals of the inverter, this option outputs any 3 selected
signals from relay contact output terminals.
Orientation, PLG
output
Used with a position detector (pulse encoder) installed on a machine tool spindle to stop
the spindle in position (orientation control).
The motor speed is detected by the pulse encoder and this detection signal is fed back to
the inverter to automatically compensate for speed variation. Hence, the motor speed can
be kept constant if load variation occurs.
The current spindle position and actual motor speed can be monitored on the operation
panel or parameter unit.
Pulse train input
FR-A5AP
A pulse train signal can be used to enter the speed command to the inverter.
Computer link FR-A5NR
Operation/monitoring/parameter change of the inverter can be performed under the
control of a user program from a computer, e.g. personal computer or FA controller,
connected by a communication cable.
Noise-immune communication system using twisted pair cables.
Profibus DP FR-A5NP
Operation/monitoring/parameter change of the inverter can be performed from a computer
or PLC.
Device Net
TM
FR-A5ND
Operation/monitoring/parameter change of the inverter can be performed from a computer
or PLC.
CC-Link (Note 2) FR-A5NC Operation/monitoring/parameter change of the inverter can be performed from a PLC.
Communication
Modbus Plus FR-A5NM
Operation/monitoring/parameter change of the inverter can be performed from a computer
or PLC.
Note: 1. Three inboard options may be mounted at the same time (the number of the same options
mountable is only one, and only one of the communication options may be mounted.)
2. CC-Link stands for Control & Communication Link.
3. The FR-A5AX (12-bit digital input) is required for orientation control.
