8.2 About Parameters
To program the drive for a specific application, you adjust the
appropriate parameters. The parameters are used to define
characteristics of the drive.
There are three types of parameters:
• Numbered List Parameters
Numbered list parameters allow a selection from two or more
options. Each item is represented by a number.
Example: Start Source (P036)
• Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have individual bits associated with features or
conditions. If the bit is 0, the feature is off or the condition is false.
If the bit is 1, the feature is on or the condition is true.
Example: Drive Status (d006)
• Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (for example,
0.1 volts).
Example: Motor NP Volts (P031)
Parameters are also either configurable or tunable, or read-only.
Configurable parameters can be adjusted or changed only while
the drive is stopped.
Tunable parameters can be adjusted or changed while the drive is
running or stopped.
Read-only parameters cannot be adjusted.
8.3 How Parameters are Organized
Parameters are organized into three Parameter Groups:
• The Basic Parameter Group, (Pnnn) contains the most commonly
used parameters to simplify the start-up process.
• The Advanced Parameter Group (Annn) contains parameters
used for more advanced applications.
• The Display Parameter Group (dnnn) contains parameters that
indicate actual drive conditions.
