Data type
Active parameter
is only active when communicating
through Profibus.
Array
means that the parameter is an array.
If bit 13 is true, the parameter can only be reset, not
written to.
If bit 12 is true, the parameter value is different from
the factory setting.
Bit 11 indicates that text is available.
Bit 10 indicates that additional text is available. Eg.
parameter 001,
Language
, contains text for index field
0,
English
, and for index field 1,
German
.
If bit 9 is true, the parameter value is read-only and
cannot be changed.
If bit 8 is true, upper and lower limits of the parameter
value are not relevant.

No of elements (index 2):
This function indicates the Number of elements (array)
of a parameter. The answer to the master will be in
PWE
LOW
.
Conversion and Unit of measurement (index 4):
The Conversion and unit of measurement command
indicates the conversion of a parameter and the unit of
measurement. The answer to the master will be in
PWE
LOW
. The conversion index will be in the high byte
of PWE
LOW
and the unit index will be in the low byte of
PWE
LOW
. Note that conversion index is signed 8 and
unit index is unsigned 8, see tables below.
The unit index defines the “Unit of measure”. The con-
version index defines how the value should be scaled
to get the basic representation of the “Unit of meas-
ure”. Basic representation is where conversion index
equals “0”.
Example:
A parameter has a “unit index” of 9 and a “conversion
index” of 2. The raw (integer) value read is 23. This
means that we have a parameter of the unit “Power”
and the raw value should be multiplied by 10 to the
power of 2 and the unit is W. 23 x 10
2
= 2300 W
