Unit changeover

Description
Parameters and process variables for input and output can be switched to a suitable units
system (SI units, US units or referenced variables (%)) with the help of the unit changeover
function.
The following constraints apply to the unit changeover:
● Unit changeover is only possible for the "VECTOR" and "A_INF" drive object.
● Type plate parameters of the converter and/or motor can be switched between SI and US
● Once the changeover parameters have been switched, all parameters assigned to a
● A separate parameter is available for selecting technological units (p0595) for the

● When a unit changeover occurs, rounding to the decimal places is carried out. This can

subsequently changed, the % value entered in a parameter will not change.
Example:
– A fixed speed of 80% corresponds, for a reference speed of 1500 rpm, to a value of
1200 rpm.
– If the reference speed is changed to 3000 rpm, the value of 80% is retained and is
now 2400 rpm.
mean that the original value might change by up to one decimal place.
retrospectively, the referenced values of some of the control parameters are also
adjusted to ensure that the control behavior is unaffected.
cause parameter value limit violations, leading in turn to error messages when the values
are loaded to the drive unit.
