Storing parameters in the encoder
If the angle encoder connected to X2B has an EEPROM, the parameters can be stored in
the encoder. This is particularly useful for parameters that refer to the characteristics of
the motor (nominal and maximum current) or to the motor/encoder combination (phase
sequence, offset angle). If the motor is connected to a different servo drive, these
parameters will be loaded by the servo drive and the motor can be used directly without
any additional parameterisation.
The following parameters are stored in the encoder:
l
Number of pole pairs, phase sequence and angle encoder offset
l
Nominal and maximum current and the current control settings
l
Lateral displacement parameters concerning the actual position (e.g. after homing)
l
Gear factor for the angle encoder

Status
Encoder initialised
This LED lights up when the initialisation of the encoder is complete. The time required for
the initialisation varies depending on the encoder. It is only when the encoder initialisation
is complete that further information about the encoder and certain actions become
possible.
This is why the following status LEDs are not valid until the encoder initialisation is
complete.
Encoder EEPROM exists
This LED indicates that the connected encoder has an EEPROM.
