Parameters
Axis type Defines the type of axis monitored by the drive.
– Linear: must be selected when “Monitoring a linear movement”.
– Rotational: must be selected when “Monitoring a rotational movement”.
Sensor Type If the selection of the previous parameter is “Linear”, the “Sensor Type” defines the sensor
type that is connected to the inputs of the module, namely “Rotational” (e.g., encoder on a
gear rack) or “Linear” (e.g., linear measuring systems).
Measuring device Specifies the type of sensor(s) used. Selection options:
– Encoder
– Proximity switch
– Encoder + proximity switch
– Proximity switch 1 + proximity switch 2
– Encoder 1 + encoder 2 (only for PSR-M-EM5 ... 7)
Pitch If “Linear” is selected as the axis type and “Rotational” is parameterized as the sensor type,
this field can be used to enter the pitch in order to perform a conversion between the sensor
revolutions and the distance traveled [mm/revolution].
Proximity choice Enables the selection of proximity sensors with the choice of PNP, NPN, normally open con-
tact (NO) or normally closed contact (NC), and with 3 or 4 wires. Selection options:

Measurement Encoder
Resolution
In this field, enter the number of pulses/revolution (in the case of a rotary sensor) or
μm/pulse (in the case of a linear sensor) based on the sensor used. This encoder is used
for the speed threshold values.
Verification Proximity
Resolution
In this field, enter the number of pulses/revolution (in the case of a rotary sensor) or
μm/pulse (in the case of a linear sensor) based on the sensor used.
NOTE:
In order to achieve performance level PL e, proximity switches of type “PNP NO” should
be used.
