Is different.

In the parameter setting device of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the 'parameter number' is composed of a general function number and a detailed function number which can be independently changed. An approximate function number is a number commonly assigned to a plurality of parameters having similar functions. The detailed function number is a number assigned to one parameter to specify each parameter from among a plurality of parameters to which the same general function number is assigned. Values that can be set for each parameter are defined as shown in Fig. 5.

In the parameter setting device of the present embodiment, the parameter number composed of the general function number and the detailed function number is displayed on the display unit 30 together with the function name and the value set for the parameter. And when the summary function number is selected When the UP key 34 or DOWN key 35 is operated, only the general function number changes. When the detailed function number is selected, when the UP key 34 or DOWN key 35 is operated, only the detailed function number changes.

FIG. 6 (a) shows a transition diagram of the parameter number display when the UP key 34 or the DOWN key 35 is input while the general function number of the parameter number B1-01 is selected. Figure 6 (b) shows the transition diagram of the parameter number display when the UP key 34 or the DOWN key 35 is input when the detailed number 01 of the parameter number B1-01 is selected. is there.

In order to indicate that either the general function number or the detailed function number is selected, the parameter setting device of the present embodiment flashes the currently selected function number among the general function number and the detailed function number. To However, the present invention is not limited to such a case, and may indicate a function designation selected by another display method. In the following figure, "" is used to indicate that the number etc. is blinking. For example, when the approximate function number B1 is blinking, it is displayed as "B1".

In this embodiment, a right shift key is used to switch between selection of a general function number and selection of a detailed function number.

Then, when the user wants to change the set value of the displayed parameter, the DAT AZENTER key 32 is operated to shift to a mode for changing the set value. In the mode for changing the set value, the blinking of the set value indicates that the set value can be changed. The set value is switched by operating the UP key 34 or the DOWN key 35 in this state. Then, it is possible to return to the original parameter display screen by completing the change of the set value normally or by operating the ESC key 31.

Fig. 8 (a) shows the operation of the UP key 34 when the approximate function number B1 is blinking. As a result, the rough function number changes to B2, and the function name of the rough function number B2, `` DC braking start frequency, '' is displayed from the function name of the rough function number B1, `` Operation mode selection. '' It is a figure which shows the state which became. In addition, in FIG. 8 (b), when the rough function number is B1 and the detailed function number 01 is blinking, operating the UP key 34 causes the detailed function number to change from 01 to 02.
