What to do if a Siemens Milltronics Processor parameter remains unchanged?
If a Siemens Milltronics device parameter remains unchanged after setting it, first try setting the parameter using the keypad. If that doesn't work, verify that the lock parameter (P000) is not enabled. Also, ensure that the SW1 certification switch is not in the certification position.
