Motor feedback system resources
The resources of a DSL motor feedback system make up most of the functions of the
sensor.
"Long message" transactions enable access to all resources installed in a DSL motor
feedback system. Examples of resources are the values for encoder designation, func‐
tion and fault monitoring, sensor administration or the storage of user-defined data (i.e.
electronic type label).
NOTE
It should be noted that for motor feedback system process values, i.e. position and
rotation speed values, separate access mechanisms apply (see
and
).
The resources installed in a DSL motor feedback system are accessible via the
resources database (RDB). A "long message" is always aimed at an individual RDB
entry.
The resources set out in this section describe the normal functions of a DSL motor
feedback system. The actual resources installed in individual DSL motor feedback sys‐
tems are given in the appropriate data sheets.
8.1
Access to resources
Access to the resources of a DSL motor feedback system is possible in two ways. This
section also describes how resource definitions can be read by "direct access".
8.1.1
Access by means of an index
Each individual resource is defined by a unique resource index (RID).
A "long message" can be directed at the associated resource by using the RID as the
address characteristic (see
).
If a resource is accessed via direct access, the resource definition is returned (see
8.1.2
Access using the tree
The resources database (RDB) is structured in the form of a tree. This enables access
to a resource by referencing, in which the access begins with a root resource that
returns an indicator to other resources.
shows this tree structure.
Starting at the "root node" resource with the resource index RID=000h, a read access
returns the addresses of the linked nodes. By progressing recursively through further
nodes, it is possible to access all levels of the tree.
