Linear Axis Operating Mode
1.7.1 Function
The linear axis operating mode is the basic setting for the
1P
241 at the initial start-up, after a
power failure, and after software reset.

The operating mode “linear axis” is always used when one or two axes are available per module
where, within the maximum track area, positions are decoded or simple positioning operations
are performed (drives with fixed rotation speed).
On the next pages two typical examples are shown.
II
When the area limits are exceeded with incremental and absolute encoders, then in the
j,
>7
event of linear axes the track identifier bits for all tracks and any parameterized inter-
‘,
;
rurXs
are set
brieflv,
and the next actual value disdaved is zero!
This effect can be avoided as follows:
– Prevent the system from exceeding the limits or
– Use the rotary axis mode (see section 1.8)
