6.4.7 Encoder monitoring
HEIDENHAIN contouring controls monitor the signal transmission from the
encoders.
The parameter object CfgEncoderMonitor is not required for:
Virtual axes (MP_axisMode = Virtual)
Position encoder Activate the following monitoring functions for the position encoders:
MP_checkAbsolutPos:
Monitor the absolute position of position encoders with distance-coded
reference marks
MP_checkSignalLevel:
Monitor the encoder signal level of the position measuring systems
MP_checkFrequency:
Monitor the edge separation of the position measuring systems
MP_checkRefDistance:
Monitor the reference mark of the spindle encoder (distance between zero
crossovers of the spindle)

The edge separation is monitored by the CC controller unit. Therefore, the
MP_checkFrequency parameter is currently not available on the TNC 320
and the MANUALplus 620 with analog command interface to the drive
motors.
