Conventions Used in this Chapter
The following conventions are used throughout this chapter.
•  All parameters required for any given drive function are 
contained within a group, eliminating the need to change groups 
to complete a function.
• Each parameter will contain the following:
Note: To determine the series of your module, refer to Figure P.1 in 
the Preface.
Parameter: Description:
Name The actual parameter name as displayed on the HIM (or ODS 
software). Parameter names appear within brackets, for example: 
[100% Torq Vel].
Description An explanation of the parameter and, when feasible, an application 
example. 
Number Each parameter is assigned a number that can be used for serial 
communication. The numbers are listed in order for Axis 0, 1, 2, 3.
Group Most parameters are contained in a group to make programming 
easier.
Display Units • ENUMS - A language statement pertaining to the selection made.
• Engineering - Standard display units such as; Hz, sec, volts, etc.
• Drive Units - These are internal Display Units used to communicate 
through the serial port, and to scale values properly when reading 
or writing to the drive.
Ty p e • Read Only - The value is changed only by the drive and is used to 
monitor values.
• Read/Write - The value is changed through programming. This type 
can also be used to monitor a value.
Change While 
Running
States whether the parameter can be changed while the drive is 
running.
Linkable States whether the parameter can be linked.
Minimum Value This is the lowest setting possible for parameters.
Maximum Value This is the highest setting possible for parameters.
Default Value This is the value assigned to each parameter at the factory. It is also 
the value that will be restored if you choose to restore defaults from 
the HIM. Display text appears within quotation marks.
Selections Predefined functions. Display text appears within quotation marks.
