•
Clockwise = Increasing position value when shaft is rotated clockwise
•
Counterclockwise = Increasing position value when shaft is rotated counterclock‐
wise
DANGER
Before using the Code sequence function, check whether there is any danger from the
machine or system in which the encoder is integrated!
The Code sequence function can lead to an immediate change of the position value
output by the encoder.
This could cause an unexpected movement that could endanger people or damage the
system or other objects.
NOTE
The Code sequence function should only be used when the encoder is at a standstill.
3.7.5
Scaling
Scaling allows the steps per revolution or the total resolution to be scaled.
NOTE
Only if the
Scaling
parameter (attribute ID 0Eh of the position sensor object) is con‐
figured to
Enable
, are the entered values for the steps per revolution or the total
resolution applied.
DANGER
Before using the Scaling function, check whether there is any danger from the machine
or system in which the encoder is integrated!
The Scaling function can lead to an immediate change of the position value output by
the encoder.
This could cause an unexpected movement that could endanger people or damage the
system or other objects.
NOTE
The Scaling function (steps per revolution or total resolution) should only be used when
the encoder is at a standstill.
3.7.6
Increments per revolution
The resolution of the absolute encoder is max. 262,144 steps per revolution. The
resolution is scalable from 1 ... 262,144 in whole numbers.
NOTE
The parameter is not used if the round axis functionality (
see "Round axis functionality",
) is activated.
3.7.7
Total resolution/measuring range
The total resolution, i.e. the measuring range of the AFM60 EtherNet/IP, is max.
1,073,741,824 steps. The total resolution must be 2ⁿ-fold the steps per revolution.
