Encoder type
Linear incremental
Distance between two increments:
In this field, you can configure the distance be-
tween two steps of the encoder.
Bits for fine resolution in the incremental actual
value (GN_XIST1)
In this field, configure the number of bits for fine
resolution within the incremental actual value
(GN_XIST1).
Encoder type
Linear absolute
Distance between two increments:
In this field, you can configure the distance be-
tween two steps of the encoder.
Bits for fine resolution in the incremental actual
value (GN_XIST1)
In this field, configure the number of bits for fine
resolution within the incremental actual value
(GN_XIST1).
Bits for fine resolution in the absolute actual value
(GN_XIST2)
In this field, configure the number of reserved bits
for fine resolution within the absolute actual value
(GN_XIST2).
Invert encoder direction
Select this check box if you would like to invert the actual value of the encoder.
