• Inverter communication instructions standby for 11 ms after acquiring a communication port, and then starts
communication. Even if the drive contact turns ON, the inverter communication instruction stands by until (SM8920) turns
ONOFF when the SM8920 inverter communication busy flag has been turned ON by other inverter communication
instruction. The PLC frees the communication port, and then executes inverter communication instructions driven in the
next step and so on.

*1 The PLC does not execute the IVWR instruction even if SM8920 is turned OFF (IVWR instruction execution complete) because another
instruction (IVCK instruction) is being executed when drive contact M1 turns ON.
*2 When two or more instructions are driven at the same time during communication, the next inverter communication instruction is
executed after the current instruction is completed.
*3 SM8920 remains OFF until the next inverter communication instruction is driven after execution of the current inverter communication
instruction is completed.
