(1) When using Logix V16 and later, DataLink scaling is automatically applied such that Logix values match PowerFlex internal values.
(2) When using Logix V15 and earlier or 16-bit processors, DataLink scaling may need to be done in application programs. See the 16 Bit-based Processor section in this document for more information.
(3) PowerFlex 755T velocity units depend on the setting of parameter 0:46 [Velocity Units]. It is highly recommended that parameter 0:46 be to 1=’RPM’ to match the PowerFlex 700S velocity units of
‘RPM’. The above examples assume P46 = 1 ‘RPM’.
