Motor Device Codes are assigned by the motor manufacturer. A value of 0 for the
Motor Device Code will be accepted by the drive without comparison.

The Motor Type attribute is an enumeration that specifies the motor technology.
When Motor Type is set to Not Specified, all motor configuration attribute values
associated with the motor are considered Not Applicable and will not be set by
configuration software nor will they be sent to the drive.
If Motor Data Source is Motor NV or Drive NV, the Motor Type may not be
known to the controller but is known by the drive, so the drive can operate in this
case without specifying the Motor Type. In this case, the Motor Type is not sent
to the drive.
If Motor Data Source is Datasheet or Database, an unspecified Motor Type, when
received by the drive device during configuration, indicates that the motor
configuration has not been defined and therefore results in a Configuration Fault
indicating an Invalid Attribute Value.

The Motor Unit attribute is a unit of measure for motor displacement. This
attribute is also used for sensorless operation since the Feedback Unit in that case
is not known. Motor Unit selection is based on Motor Type.
