Attribute Description 
  The data type of a parameter defines the maximum possible value range. 3 data 
types are used for MICROMASTER. They either represent an unsigned integer value 
(U16, U32) or a floating-point value (float). The value range is frequently restricted by 
a minimum, maximum value (min, max) or using drive inverter/motor quantities. 
U16  Unsigned, integer value with a size of 16 bits, 
max. value range: 0 .... 65535 
U32  Unsigned, integer value with a size of 32 bits  
max. value range: 0 .... 4294967295 
Data types 
Float  A simple precise floating point value according to the IEEE standard format 
max. value range: -3.39e
+38
 – +3.39e
+38
 
  The value range, which is specified as a result of the data type, is restricted/limited by 
the minimum, maximum value (min, max) and using drive inverter/motor quantities. 
Straightforward commissioning (start-up) is guaranteed in so much that the 
parameters have a default value. These values (min, def, max) are permanently 
saved in the drive inverter and cannot be changed by the user. 
-  No value entered (e.g.: "r parameter") 
Min Minimum value 
Def Default value

Max Maximum value 
  For MICROMASTER, the units of a particular parameter involve the physical quantity 
(e.g. m, s, A). Quantities are measurable properties/characteristics of physical 
objects, operations, states and are represented using characters of a formula (e.g. V 
= 9 V).
