Notation Used in this Manual
Notation for Reverse Signals
The names of reverse signals (i.e., ones that are valid when low) are written with a forward slash (/)
before the signal abbreviation.
Notation Example
BK is written as /BK.
Notation for Parameters
The notation depends on whether the parameter requires a numeric setting (parameter for numeric
setting) or requires the selection of a function (parameter for selecting functions).

Parameters for Numeric Settings
Notation Example
Engineering Tools Used in This Manual
This manual uses the interfaces of the S for descriptions.
This column explains the
selections for the function.
The notation “n.
” indicates a parameter for
selecting functions.
Each
indicates the setting for one digit.
The notation shown here means that the third digit
from the right is set to 2.

Parameter number
This is the
parameter
setting before
shipment.
This is when any
change made to
the parameter will
become effective.
This is the parameter
classification.
This is the minimum
unit (setting increment)
that you can set for
the parameter.
This is the
setting range
for the
parameter.
