    Commissioning 6.9 Direct setpoint input (MDI) Direct setpoint input (MDI) Description For direct setpoint input (MDI, Manual Data Input), a higher-level control provides the converter with the position setpoint and traversing profile. Example 1 The higher-level control specifies the value of the setpoint either as a relative or an absolute position setpoint: Figure 6-20 Position axis with direct setpoint input (MDI)
