Detailed Description 
  2.6 Referencing with absolute value encoders 
Reference Point Approach (R1) 
Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0 
2-37 
 
 
Note 
If the BERO is removed after adjustment of the absolute encoder, the referencing mode 
must be assigned to "Referencing with absolute encoder". 
MD34200 $MA_ENC_REFP_MODE = 0 
 
Signal propagation delay compensation 
The signal propagation time can cause corruption of the absolute position detected by the 
NC. The signal propagation time can be compensated for in any direction: 
MD31122 $MA_BERO_DELAY_TIME_PLUS (BERO delay time plus)  
MD31123 $MA_BERO_DELAY_TIME_MINUS (BERO delay time minus)  
 
 
Note 
A requirement for correct compensation of the signal propagation delay are  
SIMODRIVE 611-D drives. The assignments made in the factory for the compensation times 
do not usually have to be changed. 
 
Creep velocity 
If the BERO is to be approached at the assigned reference point creep velocity: 
MD34040 $MA_REFP_VELO_SEARCH_MARKER 
reference mode "BERO with configured approach velocity for spindles" must be assigned: 
MD34200 $MA_ENC_REFP_MODE = 7 
2.6.6  Reference point approach with absolute encoders 
MD34330 
If reference point approach is initiated for a machine axis with adjusted absolute encoder as 
the active measuring system (manually in JOG-REF mode or automatically via part program 
instruction (G74)), the movement of the machine axis is dependent on the assigned 
traversing enable: 
MD34330 $MA_REFP_STOP_AT_ABS_MARKER = <Value>
