The Positioning System; Zero Point Of The Encoder System - Beckhoff XTS Startup Manual

7.4

The positioning system

Before the movers are set in motion at the new XTS, the offset levels of the encoder sensors have to be
calibrated. In ready-made starter kits the system sensors are already calibrated, and the sensor values are
stored in a file. New systems or systems, in which motor modules were replaced or regrouped, have to be
recalibrated. The calibration is straightforward and can be performed without damage to the system.
