Parameter description
13.3.1.1
Reversal, encoder
The direction of rotation of the connected encoder (parallel, incremental, DSI or SSI) can be
inverted with this parameter.
If configuring via the LCD, the reversal can be implemented with key "±" in line "Fictitious
encoder value".
13.3.1.2
Encoder type
This parameter defines the encoder type. The following encoders are currently supported:
Gray absolute shaft encoders (parallel), 24 V, see parameter table
Incremental encoders, 24 V, see parameter table
Gray-SSI absolute shaft encoders, see parameter table
TIMER (value is generated internally), see parameter table
13.3.1.3
Encoder resolution
This parameter defines the resolution (information items/revolution) of the encoder.
The resolutions currently available are specified in the parameter table
13.3.1.4
Counting range (only in the case of incremental encoders)
By default, a counter overflow occurs if the counting range limit is reached if using an incremental
encoder. Example: At 8192 (LOCON 48, 64), i.e. after count 8191 (or 16383), the counter counts
to 0000 unless an external Clear signal has been issued.
The counting range can be set with this parameter. Please refer to the parameter table for the
limited values.
13.3.1.5
Type of idle time compensation
The term "idle time" means the time which elapses from setting a PLS output through to the
actual response of the connected unit (e.g. opening a valve).
This idle time is normally constant.
