Sin/Cos encoder type
The following general parameters can be selected for the "Sin/Cos" encoder type:
● Motor encoder
This option is selected for each encoder inserted first (measuring system 1). When you
add an additional encoder that you want to use as motor encoder, you must activate the
option there. The option is then deactivated in the first added encoder.
● Rotary
Is required for a rotary encoder.
● Linear
Is required for a linear scale.
