Frame (size) Refers to the drive physical size, for example R0 and R1. The
type designation label attached to the drive shows the frame of
the drive, see the hardware manual of the drive.
ID run Motor identification run. During the identification run, the drive
will identify the characteristics of the motor for optimum motor
control.

sequential numbers as base units. The hexadecimal numbers
are 0-9 and the letters A-F.
IGBT Insulated gate bipolar transistor
Intermediate circuit See DC link.
Inverter Converts direct current and voltage to alternating current and
voltage.
I/O Input/Output
LSW Least significant word
Macro Pre-defined default values of parameters in a drive control
program. Each macro is intended for a specific application. See
chapter Control macros.
NETA-21 Optional remote monitoring tool
Parameter User-adjustable operation instruction to the drive, or signal
measured or calculated by the drive
