• Conversion Constant / Motion Resolution = Motion Units (revs, inches,
or millimeters) / Position Unit
Conversely, all actual position, velocity, and acceleration data from the Motion
Planner is scaled from Motion Units to the user's preferred Position Units based
on the Motion Resolution and Conversion Constant. The ratio of Motion
Resolution and the Conversion Constant determines the number of Position
Units in a Motion Unit as described using the following formula:
• Motion Resolution / Conversion Constant = Position Units / Motion
Unit (rev, inch, or millimeter)
In general, the Motion Resolution value may be may be configured in Motion
Counts per Motion Unit independent of the resolution of the feedback device(s)
used. The drive's scaling function takes care of scaling between Feedback Counts
and Motion Counts. Providing a configurable Motion Resolution value is
particularly useful for addressing Fractional Unwind applications where it is
necessary to have an integer number of Motion Counts per Unwind Cycle.
Valid Motion Unit attribute selections are determined by the Feedback
Configuration, Load Type, and Linear Actuator Unit (Lead Unit or Diameter
Unit) values according to the following table:
