 Notation Used in this Manual
 Notation for Reverse Signals
The names of reverse signals (i.e., ones that are valid when low) are written with a forward slash (/) 
before the signal abbreviation.
Notation Example
BK
 is written as /BK.
 Notation for Parameters
The notation depends on whether the parameter requires a numeric setting (parameter for numeric 
setting) or requires the selection of a function (parameter for selecting functions).

Setting Range
10 to 20,000 0.1 Hz 400 Immediately
Setting Unit Default Setting When Enabled
Classication
Tuning
 (default setting)
Use the encoder according to encoder specications. 
Use the encoder as an incremental encoder.
Use the encoder as a single-turn absolute encoder.
This is the setting range 
for the parameter.
Parameter 
number
This column explains the 
selections for the function.
The notation “n.
” indicates a parameter for 
selecting functions.
Each 
 indicates the setting for one digit.
The notation shown here means that the third digit 
from the right is set to 2.
Position
Torque
The control methods for which the parameters apply are given.
Speed
: Speed control : Position control : Torque control
This is the 
parameter setting 
before shipment.
This is when any 
change made to the 
parameter will 
become effective.
This is the parameter 
classication.
This is the minimum 
unit (setting increment) 
that you can set for 
the parameter.
