Modulo range setting

Description
Linear axis
A linear axis is an axis whose traversing range is limited in both motor directions of rotation
by the mechanical system of the machine, e.g.:
• Stacker crane
• Elevating platform
• Tilting station
• Gate/door drive
Modulo axis
A modulo axis is an axis with an infinite traversing range, e.g.:
• Rotary table
• Conveyor belt
• Roller conveyor

8.6 Basic positioner and position control
The converter maps the complete traversing range to the
position actual value.
The converter maps the modulo range on the position
actual value. If the load position leaves the
modulo range, then the value range of the
position actual value repeats in the converter.
