Intermittent duty cycle
An intermittent duty rating refers to a sequence of duty cycles. Each cycle
consists of an on-load and an off-load period. The operation can be either
periodic duty or non-periodic duty.
L
LCP
The local control panel makes up a complete interface for control and pro-
gramming of the drive. The control panel is detachable and can be installed
up to 3 m (10 ft) from the drive, that is, in a front panel with the installation
kit option.
lsb
Least significant bit.
M
MCM
Short for "mille circular mil", an American measuring unit for cable cross-
section. 1 MCM=0.5067 mm
2
Motor running
Torque generated on output shaft and speed from 0 RPM to maximum
speed on motor.
msb
Most significant bit.
N
NLCP
Numerical local control panel interface for control and programming of the
drive. The display is numerical and the panel is used to show process val-
ues. The NLCP has no storage and copy functions.
n
M,N
Nominal motor speed (nameplate data).
n
s
Synchronous motor speed.

slip
Motor slip.
O
Online/offline parameters
Changes to online parameters are activated immediately after the data val-
ue is changed. Press [OK] to activate changes to off-line parameters.
P
PCD
Process-control data.
PDS
The PDS is a speed control system for an electric motor, including the CDM
and motor, but without the equipment which it powers.
P
M,N
Rated motor power (nameplate data in kW or hp).
Position error
Position error is the difference between the actual position and the com-
manded position. The position error is the input for the position PI control-
ler.
Position unit
The physical unit for position values.
Power cycle
Switch off the mains until the display (LCP) is dark, then turn power on
again.
