Parameter scaling
Due to the limits of the integer data in the Modbus protocol, it is necessary to convert the
drive parameters before transmitting them. This is done by scaling, so that a parameter,
which has a position after decimal point, is multiplied by a factor, to get rid of the fractional
part. The scaling factor is as defined in the above table.

③
Select the command and setpoint source by parame-
ter p29008.
•
p29008 = 1: Setpoint and control word from Modbus PZD
•
p29008 = 2: No control word.
