Setting a non standard SSI encoder
Proceeding: manually configuring the encoder
1. Set p0010 = 4.
This allows the encoder parameters to be accessed.
2. Configure the encoder using the table below.
3. Set p0010 = 0.
p0400[1]
(Factory setting: 0)
Selects the encoder from the list of encoder types supported by the firmware of the Control Unit.
SSI, Multiturn 4096, 24 V
p0404[1]
Encoder configuration effective (Factory setting: 0000 0000 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 bin)
p0407[1]
Linear encoder grid division
(Factory setting: 16000 [nm])
Sets the grid division for a linear encoder.
p0408[1]
(Factory setting: 2048)
Sets the number of encoder pulses.
p0410[1]
Encoder inversion actual value (Factory setting: 0000 bin)
1 signal: Invert speed actual value
1 signal: Invert position actual value
p0418[1]
Fine resolution Gx_XIST1 (in bits)
(factory setting: 2)
The parameter applies for the following process data:
• Gx_XIST1
• Gx_XIST2 for reference mark or flying measurement
The fine resolution specifies the fraction between two encoder pulses. Depending on the physical
measurement principle, an encoder pulse can be broken down into a different number of fractions (e.g.
squarewave encoder: 2 bit = resolution 4).
Fine resolution absolute value Gx_XIST2 (in bits) (factory setting: 2)
p0421[1]
Absolute encoder rotary multiturn resolution
(factory setting: 4096)
Sets the number of rotations that can be resolved for a rotary absolute encoder.
p0422[1]
Absolute encoder linear measuring step resolution
(factory setting: 100 [nm])
Sets the resolution of the absolute position for a linear absolute encoder.
