0x36A0 0x00
Enumerated
0 - 2
0 = None
1 = 5V
2 = 12V
5V Sets the Power Supply Source to the 5 or 12 volts for the Encoder.
Use this parameter to determine which supply voltage, if any, is
used to issue an encoder fault if the supply itself faults.
5V Supply Min
Ext_5v_Supply_Min
0x36A4 0x00
0 – 200 mA 0 mA Sets the lower threshold of the current of the 5V external supply.
Current below this threshold will generate a fault (Ext_5V_Supply_
Failure_Active 0x2531) that can be read by VCL.
5V Supply Max
Ext_5v_Supply_Max
0x36A3 0x00
0 – 100 mA 100 mA Sets the upper threshold of the current of the 5V external supply.
Current above this threshold will generate a fault (Ext_5V_Supply_
Failure_Active 0x2531) that can be read by VCL.
12V Supply Min
Ext_12v_Supply_Min
0x36A6 0x00
0 – 200 mA 0 mA Sets the lower threshold of the current of the 12V external supply.
Current below this threshold will generate a fault (Ext_12V_Supply_
Failure_Active 0x2532) that can be read by VCL.
12V Supply Max
Ext_12v_Supply_Max
0x36A5 0x00
0 – 100 mA 100 mA Sets the upper threshold of the current of the 12V external supply.
Current above this threshold will generate a fault (Ext_12V_
Supply_Failure_Active 0x2532) that can be read by VCL.
