This deviation cannot be larger than the position difference that can occur at maximum slip 
(p9549) during a cross-check cycle (r9724).
Figure 4-31 Example diagram of actual value synchronization
The mean value of the actual values of both channels is calculated cyclically after actual value 
synchronization (p9301.3 = 1) has been activated, for example, for systems or machines with 
slip. The maximum slip defined in p9549 is monitored in the cross-check cycle (r9724). If "actual 
value synchronization" is not enabled, the value parameterized in p9542 is used as tolerance 
value for the crosswise comparison. 
Safe motion monitoring
The properties of the actual value acquisition determine not only the encoders used, but also 
the values for safe motion monitoring that can be achieved in the best case.
● Safe maximum speed (r9730)
The maximum speed (load side) that is permissible due to the acquisition of actual values 
for safe motion monitoring functions is indicated in r9730. This parameter shows up to which 
load velocity the safety-relevant encoder actual values (redundant coarse encoder position) 
can still be correctly sensed as a result of the particular encoder parameterization. 
The actual value acquisition clock (p9511) determines the frequency at which the actual 
values are acquired. The longer the clock cycle, the higher the "safe maximum velocity." On 
the other hand, a longer actual value acquisition clock cycle places a greater load on the 
Control Unit. You must consider this when setting the optimum for your particular 
application.
● Safe positioning accuracy (r9731)
This positioning accuracy can be achieved in the best case by acquiring the actual values. 
If a 2-encoder system is used, the accuracy of the poorer encoder is indicated based on the 
number of encoder pulses.
