6.3 Write Protect Switch
Bysettingthewriteprotectfunctionto“Protect”itis
possible to prevent the overwriting of parameters.
Write protection can be carried out using either the
hardware switch on the CPU board (i.e., Switch 2) (See
Figure 6.3.2) or software parameter settings. If either
oftheseitemsissetto“Protect,”theoverwritingof
parameters will be prohibited.
NOTE
• Ifthehardwareswitchissetto“Protect,”itwillnot
be possible to overwrite parameters; furthermore,
this condition will be maintained until the switch is
setto“Enable.”
• Inthecaseofeldbuscommunicationtype,setting
of the hardware switch (Enable or Protect) is
ineffective and write protection can be carried out
only by software parameter settings.
For more details regarding usage of the write protect
function and the software’s parameter switches, refer to

(3) Set the switches. There are two switches (See Figure
6.3.2). One is for burnout setting and the other for
write protect setting, located adjacent to each other.
(4) Taking care not to entangle the cables, install the
