8.5.2 Position detection
Figure 8.6: Position detection tab
Description:
The position detection controls all settings that affect the position values.
Resolution parameter
With the Resolution parameter, the resolution for the position values is defined. This parameter also
performs a rounding correction (the position value is divided by the defined value range).

NOTE
The resolution only determines the mathematical decimal value and has no effect on the
measurement accuracy.
NOTE
Maximum position value which can be represented
The binary protocols 1 to 6 convey the position value with a different number of data bits. The
number of data bits and the selected resolution determine the maximum position value that
can be represented.
