3.6.8  Total measuring range 
The total measuring range is stated in two parameters, as Least Significant Double 
Word (LSDW) and as Most Significant Double Word (MSDW). 
NOTE 
On the singleturn variant AFS60 PROFINET the entire measuring range must match the 
measuring range per revolution (see section 3.6.7 on page 38). Both parameters must 
be configured with exactly the same value! 
 
The total resolution, that is the measuring range, is max. 1,073,741,824 steps. The 
total resolution of the AFM60 PROFINET must be 2
n
 times the resolution per revolution.

NOTE 
This restriction is not relevant if the round axis functionality (see 3.6.12 on page 40) is 
activated. 
 
3.6.9  Speed measuring unit 
Using this parameter you can define the unit with which the speed is transmitted in 
telegrams 82, 83 and 84 (message 81 does not contain any speed values). 
Possible units are: 
  steps/s 
  steps/100 ms 
  steps/10 ms 
  rpm 
The factory setting is rpm. 
3.6.10  Save mode for the preset value 
Using this parameter you can define the way in which the configuration parameters 
(1.006, 1.007, 65.000) are saved. 
  Auto save: The values are written automatically to the EEPROM on each change. 
  P971: The values must be written to the EEPROM using the parameter 971 (see 
section 3.5 “Acyclic process data” on page 24 and Table 33 on page 31).
