Only with FCT when setting up a project
2)
Setting only with control panel [Settings] [Axis type] [Rotation axis]
Setting the units of measurement influences only the display.
All parameters are saved internally in the controller in in-
crements (inc, inc/s, inc/s

...) and are not converted until
they are written or read.
Dimensions transmitted by the RS232 or by the field bus refer
to an increment basis (conversion see appendix A.4)
