Publication 1395.5.37 – March, 1999
Source Parameter A parameter which contains real time information
that is available for use by other devices. These
devices can include PLC controllers, operator
interface devices, program terminals, etc.
Sink Parameters Sink parameters accept data from other parameters
which is then used by the Drive to perform the
desired functions. An example of a sink is the
external velocity reference parameter which
accepts a speed reference from a device such as a
PLC.
Detailed Parameter Listing Certain parameter numbers and definitions in the CNA board are
