The following table contains the possible values for the type of encoder and their mean‐
ing.
Table 56: Definition of the type of encoder.
Value (dec.) Value (hex.) Type of encoder
0 00 00h Rotary encoder, bipolar counting
1 00 01h Linear encoder, bipolar counting
2 00 02h Rotary encoder, unipolar counting
3 00 03h Linear encoder, unipolar counting
For this resource, access to the offset base is not meaningful as the size of the
resource data is smaller than the maximum for a "long message" transaction.

8.4.2 Resolution
The resolution value defines the number of steps per rotation of the encoder (rotary
encoder) or the length of a measurement step in multiples of 1 nm (linear encoder).
Direct read access to resolution returns the defining values:

Read access level 2 0
Write access level 3 15
Time overrun 4 70
Data type 5 05h – 32 bit, unsigned
Mandatory yes
The resolution value is given as a 32 bit unsigned value.
For this resource, access to the offset base is not meaningful as the size of the
resource data is smaller than the maximum for a "long message" transaction.
