2.3 Parameters (Pn)
This section describes the classifications, methods of notation, and settings for parameters given in this man-
ual.
2.3.1 Parameter Classification
There are two types of multi-winding drive unit parameters. One type of parameter is required to set up the 
basic conditions for operation and the other type is required for tuning to adjust servo characteristics.
There are two types of notation used for parameters, one for parameter that requires a value setting (parameter 
for numeric settings) and one for parameter that requires the selection of a function (parameter for selecting 
functions).
The notation and settings for both types of parameters are described next.
2.3.2 Notation for Parameters
(1) Parameters for Numeric Settings
Classification Meaning Display Method Setting Method
Setup Parameters
Parameters required for 
setup.
Always displayed (Factory 
setting: Pn00B.0 = 0)
Set each parameter individu-
ally.
Tuning Parameters
Parameters for tuning con-
trol gain and other parame-
ters.
Set Pn00B.0 to 1.
There is no need to set each 
parameter individually.

number
The notation “n.” indicates a parameter 
for selecting functions. Each  corresponds to 
the setting value of that digit. The notation 
shown here means that the third digit is 1.
This section explains the 
selections for the function.
