In this example, the 0 machine position is “ahead” of the 0 encoder
position. Depending on which equation you use (your reference point),
the offset value is either positive or negative.

At encoder position 0, machine shaft position is 512.
The offset is +3,584.
At machine shaft position 0, encoder position is 3,584.
The offset is Ć512.

The equation (from 0 encoder position) is:
4,096 - 512 = 3,584
The offset is +3,584.
The equation (from 0 machine position) is:
3,584 - 4,096 = -512
The offset is -512.
You get the same result from programming 3,584 or -512.
Once you determine the offset value, you need to program two
write-block-transfer words. These are the last two words of the write-data
block that you send to the absolute encoder module. You program them in
BCD, as you do the preset values.
