9.8 Determining the correct absolute encoder adjustment
Definition
The absolute encoder adjustment and reference point coordinate maps the encoder's range
of values unambiguously to the axis coordinate system.
Address
48.0
The "Absolute encoder adjustment" is used to determine the encoder value corresponding to the
reference point coordinate on the axis. The value must be less than the total number of steps of the
absolute encoder.
Procedure
After you completed the basic program, you need to define a balanced correlation between
the encoder and the coordinate system. The procedure shown in the next section is based
on the use of the programming interface.
1. Move the axis to a known and physically unambiguous, reproducible point.
2. Call the "Set reference point" function, using the coordinate position defined in step 1.
3. Enter the value from the service screen in the "Absolute encoder adjustment" field on the
4. Save your parameter assignment to the corresponding parameter DB using the export
5. Close the parameter assignment interface by selecting File and Exit.
6. In HW Config, download the data to the CPU.
7. Restart the CPU (cold restart) to apply the data.
Note
This adjustment is made once during commissioning. After parameters are assigned, the
FM 352 is synchronized during startup as soon as it has received a complete, error-free
encoder frame.
