About this manual

This document serves as a manual for the SEW MOVITRAC 31.. frequency inverter, specifically focusing on its communications capabilities. It describes the two independent serial interfaces (X4 and X20) available on inverters of sizes 1 to 4, detailing their connection to PCs, PLCs, and other automation units via RS-232 and RS-485 standards.

The text provides a comprehensive overview of the communications protocol used by the inverter, including message types such as ENQUIRY, DATA, SELECT, and ACK/NACK frames. It also lists various operator control and serial communication options, such as the FGB31 keypad and FFI 31 InterBus-S interface, along with a complete parameter list for configuration.
