6.13Increment-codedreferencemarks
In the case of encoders with increment-coded reference marks, multiple reference
marks are distributed evenly across the entire travel distance. The absolute position
information, relative to a specific zero point of the measurement system, is
determined by counting the individual measuring increments between two reference
marks. The absolute position of the scale defined by the reference mark is assigned
to precisely one measuring increment. Before an absolute reference can be created
or the last selected reference point found, the reference mark must be passed over.
In the worst-case scenario this requires a rotation of up to 360°. To determine the
reference position over the shortest possible distance, encoders with increment-
coded reference marks are supported (e.g. HEIDENHAIN ROD 280C).
The reference mark track contains multiple reference marks with defined increment
differences. The tracking electronics determines the absolute reference when two
adjacent reference marks are passed over after just a few degrees of rotation.
