Parameters: Scaling, offset and safe zero
The diagram shows the course of the rotational speed/speed characteristic curve as a function of the
analogue input, taking into acc ount the parameters “scaling/offset/safe zero”.

Offset:
If the parameter “Offset” is used, the referenc e zero point is shifted by the value of the
offset to the offset zero point. The rotational speed/speed characteristic curve is thus
asymmetric.
Example: Asymmetry at offset = -2.5 V Fig. 7.4:
– Linear axis: -10 V = -750 mm/s, + 10 V = 1250 mm/s.
– Rotative axis: -10 V = -750 rpm, + 10 V = 1250 rpm.
Safe Zero:
If the parameter “Safe Zero” is used, the c ontrol range of the rotational speed/speed
characteristic cur ve is reduced by the range “Safe Zero”.
