specifies the motor speed.

You have the following options when selecting the source of the main setpoint:
● Converter fieldbus interface
● Analog input of the converter
● Motorized potentiometer emulated in the converter
● Fixed setpoints saved in the converter
You have the same selection options when selecting the source of the supplementary setpoint.
Under the following conditions, the converter switches from the main setpoint to other setpoints:
● When the technology controller is active and appropriately interconnected, its output
specifies the motor speed.
● When jogging is active
● When controlling from an operator panel
● When controlling from SINAMICS G120 Smart Access
