Detecting the Actual Reference Value With I1 and Zero Mark
The actual reference value is detected on the rising edge of the first zero mark
after a falling edge is detected at digital input I1. This type of actual reference
value detection is only possible with incremental sensors.
The actual reference value is acquired using a mechanism analogous to that
described above for I0. You start the function by setting the REF1 control bit. A
new actual reference value exists when the IM 178-4 has set the REF1_Q status
bit. If you reset the REF1 status bit, the module clears the REF1_Q status bit.
Following this, detection of the actual reference value can be started again.
Synchronization
Synchronization means the resetting of the actual position value. This is only
possible with incremental encoders. You specify the conditions for synchronization
during parameter assignment.
The following synchronization conditions are possible:
S
Trigger by software (setting the SYN control bit)
S
Rising edge of the zero mark
S
Rising edge of digital input I1
S
Digital input I1 and zero mark (first rising edge of the zero mark after falling
edge at I1)
The mechanism for synchronization by the software is as follows:
S
You start the function by assigning the value TRUE to the SYN control bit.
S
The IM 178-4 sets the SYN_Q status bit and performs the synchronization
(SYNC = 1).
S
You complete synchronization by resetting the SYN control bit.
S
Following this, the module resets the SYN_Q status bit.
