Term Definition
Actual signal Signal measured or calculated by the drive. Usually can only be
monitored but not adjusted; some counter-type signals can however be
reset.
Analog src Analog source: the parameter can be set to the value of another
parameter by choosing “Other”, and selecting the source parameter from
a list.
In addition to the “Other” selection, the parameter may offer other pre-
selected settings. Not in this version.
Binary src Binary source: the value of the parameter can be taken from a specific bit
in another parameter value (“Other”). Sometimes the value can be fixed
to 0 (false) or 1 (true). In addition, the parameter may offer other pre-
selected settings. Not in this version.
Default The default is shown on the same row as the parameter name.
The default value of a parameter for the Factory macro. For information
on other macro-specific parameter values, see chapter Control macros.
FbEq16/32 The fieldbus equivalent for 16-bit and 32-bit. They are shown on the
same row as the parameter range, or for each selection.
16-bit fieldbus equivalent: The scaling between the value shown on the
panel and the integer used in fieldbus communication when the user
selects a 16-bit value in parameter group 52 FBA A data in or 53 FBA A
data out.
A dash (-) indicates that the user cannot access the parameter in 16-bit
format.
32-bit fieldbus equivalent: The scaling between the value shown on the
panel and the integer used in communication when a 32-bit value is
selected for transmission to an external system.
List Selection list.
No. Parameter number.
PB Packed Boolean (bit list).
Real Real number.
Type Type (analogue src, binary src, list, PPB, real).
Other The value is taken from another parameter.
Choosing “Other” displays a parameter list in which the user can specify
the source parameter.
Other [bit] The value is taken from a specific bit in another parameter. The user
selects the source from a parameter list.
Parameter Either a user-adjustable operating instruction for the drive, or an Actual
signal.
p.u. Per unit
[parameter number] Value of the parameter
