Semantics of Values The meaning of the attribute values.
For example: Position Units / Sec.
Tag access is supported by value is valid only when Auto Tag Update of the Motion
Group Object is enabled.

Attribute Units define the unit nomenclature found in the Semantics of Values
column for many of the Motion Control Axis Attributes. In general, attribute
values are specified in units that are relevant to motion control engineers.

% Device Rated %
Defined as the percentage of the continuous rating of the
device with 100% implying operation at the continuous rated
specification for the device.
This unit can be applied to attributes related to speed,
torque, force, current, voltage, and power.
Applicable devices can be a motor, inverter, converter, or a
bus regulator.
This unit can be used independent of whether the attribute
value represents an instantaneous level or a time-averaged
level; the appropriate unit for the device rating is implied. As
with all attributes that are in units of %, an attribute value of
100 means 100%.
