Attribute ID 0Eh, scaling to 1
•
Attribute ID 7Dh, round axis functionality set to 1
Number of revolutions, numerator
The numerator (attribute ID 7Eh, nominator “CNR_N”) is scalable from 1 ... 2,048 in
whole numbers. Factory setting for the numerator is 2,048.
Number of revolutions, denominator
The denominator (attribute ID 7Fh, divisor “CNR_D”) is scalable from 1 ... 65,535 in
whole numbers. Factory setting for the denominator is 1.
Resulting total resolution
The resulting total resolution (attribute ID 11h, total resolution “CMR”) is scalable from
1 ... 536,870,912 in whole numbers.
The following restrictions must be observed:
•
CMR ≤ ÷ (CNR_N ÷ CNR_D) x physical resolution (PhysRes)
•
CNR_N ÷ CNR_D ≤ 1/2
•
The resulting total resolution CMR of the round axis functionality can thus be at
most half the physical resolution (PhysRes) of the encoder (0.5 x 1,073,741,824
= 536,870,912).
NOTE
The round axis functionality is only supported by the multiturn encoder.
NOTE
When the round axis functionality is activated, the possible value range for monitoring
the position limits is automatically limited to the total measuring range (CMR) of the
round axis functionality.
NOTE
If a preset value was already set for the current position before the round axis function‐
ality was activated, this position value will change when the round axis functionality is
activated.
DANGER
Before using the Round axis functionality function, check whether there is any danger
from the machine or system in which the encoder is integrated!
The Round axis functionality function can lead to an immediate change of the position
value output by the encoder.
This could cause an unexpected movement that could endanger people or damage the
system or other objects.
NOTE
The Round axis functionality function should only be used when the encoder is at a
standstill.
3.8 Operating elements and status indicators
The absolute encoder has five LEDs.
Three of the LEDs signal the operational status (Net, Mod and Encoder), two signal the
status of the Ethernet interface (Link 1 and Link 2).
