Official Troubleshooting Steps
Message value: Parameter: %1 Drive object: A_INF, B_INF, S_INF, SERVO, TM41, VECTOR Reaction: NONE Acknowledge: IMMEDIATELY Cause: A reference parameter was changed in the system. This resulted in the fact that for the parameters involved, the selected value was not able to be written in the per unit representation (cause: e.g. the steady-state minimum/maximum limit or that defined in the application was violated). The values of the parameters were set to the corresponding violat ed minimum/maximum limit or to the factory setting. Fault value (r0949, parameter): Diagnostics parameter r9450 to display the parame ters that were not able to be re-calculated. See also: p0304, p0305, p0310, p0596, p2000, p2001, p2002, p2003, r2004 Remedy: Check the adapted parameter value and if required correct.
