Frenic Loader is software that supports the remote operation of the Fuji Frenic VFD (Inverter) series from a Windows (7/8/10) personal computer (PC, laptop) through the RS-485 communication port on the VFD or the USB connection (via the Keypad).
Today, we guide you to make a communication cable from the Fuji Frenic Inverter to a PC (with a low price of about 1.5 USD) and connect it to the Frenic Loader 4 software on Windows 10 64bits.
Frenic Loader 4 – Features
With Frenic Loader 4 we can perform:
- Function code: Read, write, edit, compare, initialize, save, or print the function code setting data (Inverter parameters). It will help you save time in checking, and setting the parameters for a production line with the same machine.
- Operation monitor: Used to check the external terminal status (DI/DO), the maintenance, alarm information, or inverter information such as the current, frequency, voltage…
- Test run: In this function on Frenic Loader 4, we can enter the frequency command and operation command and run the Frenic inverter from the software.
Some other functions such as Customizable logic; Schedule operation; Real-time trace; Historical trace; Traceback; Communication setting you can read more on the “Frenic Loader Instruction manual” in the download file.
The functions for each Fuji Frenic series inverter (Mini/Eco/ACE/Mega/HVAC…) are different.
You can download the latest version at the end of the post.
