6.4 Encoders
Encoders report positions and movements of the machine to the
MANUALplus 620. HEIDENHAIN contouring controls operate with
incremental encoders with a 1 V
PP
signal and absolute encoders with EnDat
interface.
In the parameter object CfgAxisHardware, define the connections of the
encoders, the type of encoder, the type of signals, etc.
6.4.1 Type of position encoder
The parameter object CfgAxisHardware is not required for:
Virtual axes (MP_axisMode = Virtual)
In MP_posEncoderType, define the type of position measurement and the
type of position encoder or speed encoder.
In MP_distPerMotorTurn, define the traverse distance per motor
revolution.
