5.1 Overview
Table 5-1 Menu descriptions
Default abbreviations:
Eur> European default value
USA> USA default value
Parameter numbers shown in brackets {...} are the equivalent sub block/
Menu 0 parameters.
In some cases, the function or range of a parameter is affected by the
setting of another parameter; the information in the lists relates to the
default condition of such parameters.
Table 5-2 gives a full key of the coding which appears in the following
parameter tables.

Coding Attribute
{X.XX} Copied Menu 0 or advanced parameter
Bit 1 bit parameter: ‘On’ or ‘OFF’ on the display
Bi Bipolar parameter
Uni Unipolar parameter
Txt Text: the parameter uses text strings instead of numbers.
SP Spare: not used
FI
Filtered: some parameters which can have rapidly changing
values are filtered when displayed on the drive keypad for
easy viewing.
DE
Destination pointer parameter: This parameter can be used
to set up the location (i.e. menu/parameter number) where
the destination data is to be routed.
VM
Variable maximum: the maximum of this parameter can
vary.
DP
Decimal place: indicates the number of decimal places used
by this parameter.
ND
No default: when defaults are loaded (except when the drive
is manufactured or on EEPROM failure) this parameter is
not modified.
RA
Rating dependant: this parameter is likely to have different
values and ranges with drives of different voltage and
current ratings. Parameters with this attribute will not be
transferred to the destination drive by a SMARTCARD when
the rating of the destination drive is different from the source
drive if the drive voltage ratings are different or the file is a
parameter file. However, the value will be transferred if only
the current rating is different and the file is a differences
from default type file.
NC
Not copied: not transferred to or from SMARTCARD during
copying.
NV Not visible: not visible on the keypad.
PT Protected: cannot be used as a destination.
US
User save: saved in drive EEPROM when the user initiates
a parameter save.
RW Read/write: can be written by the user.
RO Read only: can only be read by the user
BU
Bit default one/unsigned: Bit parameters with this flag set to
one have a default of one (all other bit parameters have a
default of zero. Non-bit parameters are unipolar if this flag is
one.
PS
Power-down save: parameter automatically saved in drive
EEPROM when the under volts (UV) trip occurs. Power-
down save parameters are also saved in the drive when the
user initiates a parameter save.
