7.4 Position decoder module SM 338; POS-INPUT; (6ES7338-4BC01-0AB0)
Output address in Standard Mode
no output data are supported in Fast Mode.
Reading data areas
You can read the data areas in your user program using the
Example of access to encoder values and use of the freeze function
You want to read and evaluate the values at the encoder inputs. The module start address is
256.

You can then process the encoder values from the bit memory address areas MD 100, MD
104 and MD 108. The encoder value is set in bits 0 to 30 of the memory double word.

Explanation
// Read encoder value in the address area for encoder
input 0
// Save encoder value to memory double word
// Freeze state for subsequent acknowledgement
// Determine and save
// Read encoder value in the address area for encoder
input 1
// Save encoder value to memory double word
// Freeze state for subsequent acknowledgement
// Determine and save
// Read encoder value in the address area for encoder
input 2
// Save encoder value to memory double word
// Freeze state for subsequent acknowledgement
// determine and save
// Load freeze state and
// acknowledge (SM 338: output address 256)
