Actual value assignment
Actual value assignment in the SIMOTION SCOUT axis wizard:
The assignment of actual values is only permanent for position axes with an encoderless
stepper motor. The corresponding encoder channel is required for actual value simulation in
the hardware.
Example:
For a position axis with an encoderless stepper motor on drive 2, encoder channel 2 is used
within the hardware for actual value simulation.
For stepper motors with an encoder or for analog axes, the assignment of encoder channels
is subject to no restrictions.
Connection options for encoders on the C230 or C240:
Encoders must be connected to actual value inputs X3 to X6.
The assignment between the drive and encoder channel is subject to no restrictions.
Connection example:
● The encoder for axis 1 is connected to actual value input X3
● The encoder for axis 2 is connected to actual value input X4
● The encoder for axis 3 is connected to actual value input X5
● The encoder for axis 4 is connected to actual value input X6
Note
The assignment between the drive and encoder channel is permanent for position axes with
an encoderless stepper motor as a result of the actual value simulation required in the
hardware.
