6.3.5 Cycles
This page shows the following values for the cycles of the encoder from the position
sensor object (see table 24, page 29):
•
Number of changes in the direction of rotation (attribute ID 75h)
•
Number of clockwise starts (attribute ID 76h)
•
Number of counterclockwise starts (attribute ID 77h)
•
Limit of the number of changes of the direction of rotation (see "Limits", page 100)
•
Limit of the number of clockwise starts (see "Limits", page 100)
•
Limit of the number of counterclockwise starts (see "Limits", page 100)
6.3.6 Heartbeat
The absolute encoder supports the slave sign-of-life functionality (see "Slave sign of
life", page 38).
Figure 114: Heartbeat
If the heartbeat is set to on , then the following symbols and parameters are displayed:
An LED symbol indicates the heartbeat:
Green Active
Gray Not active
NOTE
Since the website is updated every second, the change between statuses cannot be
displayed in real time.
The Aktueller RPI in ms column shows the RPI.
The update factor can be specified in the Aktueller Update-Faktor (2 … 127) field.
The Aktueller Update-Zyklus in ms column shows the heartbeat.

Tools
6.4.1 EDS
The EDS files for integrating the encoder into the PLC are stored in the encoder.
b
Click Download EDS to download the files as a RAR archive.
The RAR archive contains the EDS files for the singleturn and multiturn encoders
and their icons.
6.4.2 Ladder routine
The ladder routine is used to map the configuration data between the controller and
the web server (see "Configuration", page 34). The ladder routine is stored in the
encoder.
