2) INVERTED Motor Rotation Direction

If, for your application, it’s not possible to send negative command for rotation in counterclockwise
direction, never swap power phases nor encoder signal.
It exists a parameter in ApplicationSetupWord 0x2020:10(b3) in drive setting to change Motor
Rotation direction.
Pay attention: Using this parameter will give a CCW (Counterclockwise) rotation shaft (view shaft in
front of you). See figure 15 for signal feedback/command/setting.

Parameter: 0x2020:10 bit 3 (Inverted Rotation Direction) => if this bit is set to 1 (enable), for a positive
command, the motor rotation is counterclockwise.
