SFA-5000 • SFA-10000 DeviceNet
EXAMPLE
We install the following draw-wire encoder:
SFA-5000-FD-8192-M12
.
The physical values are:
Stroke per turn of the drum = 200 mm (7.874”)
Physical resolution per turn = 13 bits = 8,192 cpr
Max. number of physical revolutions = 4,096 revolutions
Total physical resolution = 25 bits = 33 554 432 information
Physical linear resolution = 0.024 mm = 24 µm
Max. number of turns of the drum = 25
Max. measuring length = 5,000 mm (196.85”)
Number of information = 204,800
Let's suppose that we need a tenth of a millimetre linear resolution in the
specific installation.

Enable the scaling function:
attribute = 1
•
Custom resolution per turn =
= 2,000 cpr
•
Linear resolution = 0.1 mm = 100 µm
Linear resolution =
Stroke per turn

= 0.1 mm

The custom number of revolutions can be as the physical number of revolutions:
Custom number of encoder revolutions =
= 4,096
•
= 8 192 000
NOTE
Please note that if you set a preset along the path, when the encoder moves
back and cross the zero, the value immediately after 0 will be 8 192 000 - 1, i.e.
8 191 999.

EXAMPLE
Using the values in the previous example let's suppose that the travel in the
application is 2 m long. As the stroke per turn is 200 mm you need 10
revolutions to cover the travel length.
•
of revolutions = 2,000 * 10 = 20,000
In fact:
Custom number of encoder revolutions =
= 10
