Analogue"
Encoder type
Select Analogue if you want to use an analogue incremental encoder.
Options
l Encoder with Z0 track
The Z0 track (according to the Heidenhain terminology) is a term used for the
actual, high-resolution analogue track signals. Other angle encoder manufacturers
use the terms sine_0 and cosine_0 track or A and B track instead of the term Z0
track. The line count value (periods/revolution) is also based on the Z0 track.
Information about the Z0 track can be found on the data sheet of the angle encoder.
l Encoder with Z1 track
The Z1 track is the commutation track of an analogue incremental encoder. It
consists of two signal pairs that enable a clear angle determination referred to 1
revolution. This method is used for determining the commutation position after a
reset. Some encoder manufacturers use the terms sine_1 and cosine_1 track or C
and D track instead of the term Z1 track. Information about the Z1 track can be
found on the data sheet of the angle encoder. If there is no commutation track, the
automatic commutation position determination function must be activated
(seesection 7.6.3.2 Determining the commutation position in the case of linear
motors on page 158).
