E.PUE

Communication Error (PU Connector)

Mitsubishi Electric · FR-E500 Inverter

What does E.PUE mean?

This error code indicates a communication fault originating from the PU connector, specifically related to RS-485 communication. When the E.PUE fault occurs, the inverter's operation stops, and communication via the PU connector is interrupted. During this fault state, the inverter cannot be reset using a computer connected via the PU connector.

Common Causes

  • Loss of communication signal on the RS-485 bus connected to the PU connector.
  • Incorrect termination resistor configuration on the RS-485 network.
  • Damaged PU connector pins or internal wiring.
  • Electromagnetic interference disrupting the data transmission.
  • Incorrect baud rate or data format settings for RS-485 communication.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify RS-485 bus voltage levels at terminals A and B of the PU connector.

  2. 2

    Inspect physical integrity of the PU connector and its mating half.

  3. 3

    Confirm termination resistor values (typically 120 ohms) are correctly installed at network ends.

  4. 4

    Cycle power to the affected unit after verifying connections.

  5. 5

    Test communication with a known good PU unit if available.
