4.1.3  Characteristic 
  The mapping of the analog input signals onto a frequency or percentage reference 
value is possible for various demands. The parameterization is to be done via two
points of the linear characteristic of the reference channel. 
T
he characteristic point 1, with the coordinates X1 and Y1, and the characteristic point
2, with the coordinates X2 and Y2, can be set in four parameters. 
T
he characteristic points X1 and X2 are stated as percenta
g
es, as the analo
g
 input can
be switched as a current or voltage input via switch S3.

  The coordinates of the characteristic points are related as a percenta
g
e to the analo
g
signal, with 10 V or 20 mA, and the parameter Maximum Frequency 419 or parame-
ter 
Maximum reference percentage 519. The chan
g
e of direction of rotation can be 
done via the digital inputs of the frequency inverter and/or by selecting the character-
istic points. 
  The definition of the analog input characteristic can be calculated via the two-poin
t
form of the straight-line equation. The speed Y of the drive mechanism is controlled
according to the analog control signal X.

Behavior 563 demands a check of the characteristic parameters. Sensible
use is only possible if the 
Characteristic point X1 564 is in the positive
range. 
4.1.4  Operation modes 
  The operation modes of the analog input characteristic enable application-related scal-
in
g
 as a supplement to the characteristic points stated. One of the four linear types o
f
characteristic is selected for adaptation of the si
g
nal for the analo
g
 input si
g
nal via the
parameter 
Operation mode 562. 
If the characteristic points are not suited for the type of characteristic selected, the
characteristic points are corrected internally. 
Operation mode  Function 
  1 - bipolar  The analog input signal is mapped onto the reference 
figure according to the characteristic points (X1/Y1) 
and (X2/Y2). 
  11 - unipolar  With a negative parameter value of the characteristic 
points X1 or X2, they are mapped to the reference 
value zero. 
 21 - unipolar 
2…10 V / 4…20 mA 
If the characteristic points X1 or X2 have been set 
with a negative parameter figure or smaller than 0%, 
the input characteristic is mapped to the reference 
value 20%. 
  101 - bipolar absolute value  Negative parameter values of the characteristic points 
Y1 or Y2 are mapped as a positive reference value in 
the characteristic.
