Conventions Used in this Chapter

Publication 1394-5.0 — May 2000
The following conventions are used throughout this chapter.
• All parameters required for any given drive function are
contained within a group, eliminating the need to change groups
to complete a function.
• Each parameter will contain the following:
Parameter: Description:
Name The actual parameter name as displayed on the HIM (or ODS
software). Parameter names appear within brackets, for example:
[100% Torq Vel].
Description An explanation of the parameter and, when feasible, an application
example.
Number Each parameter is assigned a number that can be used for serial
communication. The numbers are listed in order for Axis 0, 1, 2, 3.
Group Most parameters are contained in a group to make programming
easier.
Display Units • ENUMS - A language statement pertaining to the selection made.
• Engineering - Standard display units such as; Hz, sec, volts, etc.
• Drive Units - These are internal Display Units used to communicate
through the serial port, and to scale values properly when reading
or writing to the drive.
Type • Read Only - The value is changed only by the drive and is used to
monitor values.
• Read/Write - The value is changed through programming. This type
can also be used to monitor a value.
Change While States whether the parameter can be changed while the drive is
Running
running.
Linkable States whether the parameter can be linked.
Minimum Value This is the lowest setting possible for parameters.
Maximum Value This is the highest setting possible for parameters.
Default Value This is the value assigned to each parameter at the factory. It is also
the value that will be restored if you choose to restore defaults from
the HIM. Display text appears within quotation marks.
Selections Predefined functions. Display text appears within quotation marks.
Note: To determine the series of your module, refer to Figure P.1 in
