WARNING
UNANTICIPATED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Device conversion function is used to apply the configuration from a drive product range to another drive
product range. However, the values of certain parameters cannot be applied because the functional
behaviors of the source drive and the target drive are different.
The parameters whose values cannot be applied are kept to the factory settings.
 Consult the programming manual for the parameters that are kept to their factory settings and select
appropriate values for these parameters.
 Do not operate the product with unknown or unsuitable settings or data.
 Perform a comprehensive commissioning test.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
