Unit changover

8.9.1.1

Unit changeover

Description
With the unit changeover function, you can adapt the inverter to the line supply (50/60 Hz)
and also select US units or SI units as base units.
Independent of this, you can define the units for process variables or change over to
percentage values.
Specifically, you have the following options:
● Changing over the motor standard (Page 198) IEC/NEMA (adaptation to the line supply)
● Changing over the unit system (Page 199)
● Changing over units for the technology controller (Page 200)

NOTICE
The motor standard, the unit system as well as the process variables can only be
changed offline.
The procedure is described in Section Changing of the units with STARTER (Page 200).
