General Function Description
1.2 Characteristics of the 1P 241
– The 1P 241 acquires position–based signals.
of 16 tracks. Single channel operation, however, with 32 tracks can also be selected.
ply voltage for these encoders can also be provided by the 1P 241).
actual values are continuously compared with the initial and the end track setpoints and the
corresponding track identifier bits are set.
– The 1P 241 transfers these track identifier bits to the programmable controller (e.g., via a stan-
dard function block).
in the control program (e.g., by an end switch).
– Hardware or software synchronization is available for incremental encoders.
– Each channel can be used for linear axis operation or for rotary axis operation.
