Encoder type
Rotary cyclic absolute
Steps per revolution:
In this field, configure the number of steps that
the encoder resolves per revolution.
Number of revolutions:
In this field, configure the number of revolutions
that the absolute value encoder can detect.
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 the multiplication factor of the absolute
value of the fine resolution (Gn_XIST2)
In this field, configure the number of reserved bits
for the multiplication factor of the absolute value
of the fine resolution (Gn_XIST2).
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).
