Setting parameters 
 
P2370[0...2]  Motor staging stop mode 
This parameter selects stop mode for external motors when motor staging is in use. 
= 0: Normal stop (factory default) 
P2371[0...2]  Motor staging configuration  This parameter selects configuration of external motors (M1, M2) used for 
motor staging feature. 
= 0: Motor staging disabled 
= 1: M1 = 1 x MV, M2 = Not fitted 
= 2: M1 = 1 x MV, M2 = 1 x MV 
= 3: M1 = 1 x MV, M2 = 2 x MV 
P2372[0...2]  Motor staging cycling  This parameter enables motor cycling for the motor staging feature. 
= 0: Disabled (factory default) 
P2373[0...2]  Motor staging hysteresis [%]  P2373 as a percentage of PID setpoint that PID error r2273 must be ex-
ceeded before staging delay starts. 
Range: 0.0 to 200.0 (factory default: 20.0) 
P2374[0...2]  Motor staging delay [s]  This parameter defines the time that PID error r2273 must exceed motor 
staging hysteresis P2373 before staging occurs. 
Range: 0 to 650 (factory default: 30) 
P2375[0...2]  Motor destaging delay [s]  This parameter defines the time that PID error r2273 must exceed motor 
staging hysteresis P2373 before destaging occurs. 
Range: 0 to 650 (factory default: 30) 
P2376[0...2] 
Motor staging delay override [%] 
P2376 as a percentage of PID setpoint. When the PID error r2273 exceeds 
this value, a motor is staged/destaged irrespective of the delay timers. 
Range: 0.0 to 200.0 (factory default: 25.0) 
 The value of this parameter must always be larger than staging hyste-
P2377[0...2]  Motor staging lockout timer [s]  This parameter defines the time for which delay override is prevented after a 
motor has been staged or destaged. 
Range: 0 to 650 (factory default: 30) 
P2378[0...2] 
Motor staging frequency f_st [%] 
This parameter sets the frequency at which the digital output is switched 
during a (de) staging event, as the converter ramps from maximum to mini-
mum frequency (or vice versa). 
Range: 0.0 to 120.0 (factory default: 50.0) 
r2379.0...1 
CO/BO: Motor staging status 
word 
This parameter displays output word from the motor staging feature that 
allows external connections to be made. 
Bit 00: Start motor 1 (yes for 1, no for 0) 
Bit 01: Start motor 2 (yes for 1, no for 0) 
P2380[0...2]  Motor staging hours run [h]  This parameter displays hours run for external motors. 
 
[0]: Motor 1 hrs run 
[1]: Motor 2 hrs run 
[2]: Not used 
Range: 0.0 to 4294967295 (factory default: 0.0)
