visual code strip)
1) Sensitivity and DC in accordance with the parameterised fault limits; specification applies to factory setting
2) Position information is "static" if there is a fault => Fixed commutating position, motor at idle / voltage of a channel static
=> Commutating position changes by max +/-90° of a signal period of an encoder, motor only moves in this range

The basic unit carries
out a cyclical plausibil
ity check, using a
cross-comparison of
the sin/cos signals
with the absolute posi
tion read via the data
interface
Use fault exclusion for
the encoder, or a
second measuring sys
tem for position com
parison.
Use fault exclusion for
the motor - encoder
system, or a second
measuring system for
position comparison.
