7.3 Parameter Descriptions
The following table details the available parameters and their functions. Please note that the image for this table was not provided with a distinct URL in the JSON, so the content is transcribed for clarity.
| Serial Number | Function | Adjustable Range | Defaults | Action Mode Selection (P01) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-01 | Action mode selection | 1-9 | 1 |
|
| F-02 | Number of forward rotation pulses | 1-9999 | 1600 | Unit: Number |
| F-03 | Forward rotation speed | 1-999 | 1 | Unit: Revolution / minute |
| F-04 | Number of reverse pulses | 1-9999 | 1600 | Unit: Number |
| F-05 | Reversal speed | 0.1-999 | 10 | Unit: Circle revolution/min |
| F-06 | Cycle work times (among them - numerous times) | 0-9999 or countless times | 1 | Unit: Times |
| F-07 | Forward rotation in place delay | 0.0-999.9 | 0.0 | Unit: Second (accuracy ±0.2 second) |
| F-08 | Reverse in place delay | 0.0-999.9 | 0.0 | Unit: Second (accuracy ±0.2 second) |
