6.9. Master position units
When the master position is sent via a communication channel, the master position units depend
on the type of position sensor present on the master axis.
6.10. Master speed units
The master speed is computed in internal units (IU) as master position units / slow loop sampling
period i.e. the master position variation over one position/speed loop sampling period.
6.11. Motor position units
6.11.1. Brushless / DC brushed motor with quadrature encoder on motor
The internal motor position units are encoder counts. The correspondence with the motor position
in SI units 1 is:
] IU [ Position _ Motor
lines _ encoder _ No
] SI [ Position _ Motor

where:
No_encoder_lines

is the rotary encoder number of lines per revolution
6.11.2. Brushless motor with linear Hall signals
The internal motor position units are counts. The motor is rotary. The resolution i.e. number of
counts per revolution is programmable as a power of 2 between 512 and 8192. By default it is set
at 2048 counts per turn. The correspondence with the motor position in SI units is:
For rotary motors: ] IU [ Position _ Motor

For linear motors:

SI units for motor position are: [rad] for a rotary motor, [m] for a linear motor
