Setting only with the control panel [Settings] [Axis type] [Rotation axis]
The setting of the units of measurement influences only the
display. All the parameters in the controller are saved intern-
ally in increments (inc, inc/s, inc/s

...) and are not converted
until they are written in or read.
Dimensions transmitted via PROFIBUS or RS232 are based on
increments (for conversion see appendix A.4).
