Configuration - Mechanics
Configuration - Mechanics
Configure the encoder parameters for the position of the externally controlled drive in the
"Mechanics" configuration window.
The configuration varies according to the type of encoder:
●
●
Linear
Measuring gearbox
●
Consider measuring gearbox and leadscrew pitch for encoder evaluation
Activate the check box, if you want to perform the configuration based on the gear ratio
and the leadscrew pitch.
Deactivate the check box, if you want to perform the configuration based on the encoder
revolution and the resulting distance.
●
Number of encoder revolutions / number of load revolutions
The gear ratio of the load gear is specified as the ratio between motor revolutions and
load revolutions. Specify here an integral number of motor revolutions and the resulting
number of load revolutions.
Position parameter
●
Leadscrew pitch (select "Consider measuring gear and leadscrew pitch for encoder
evaluation")
In this field, configure the distance by which the load is moved when the leadscrew
makes one revolution.
●
Load movement per motor revolution (select "Consider measuring gear and leadscrew
pitch for encoder evaluation")
In this field, configure the load distance for one motor revolution.
