Figure 19: Display options for count value screen
The Display options for count value screen enables you to define display options
for the count value.
The setting options vary depending on the encoder functions. The
product adapts the displayed setting options correspondingly.
Resetting the count value
The count value counts the signal periods of the incremental signals of the
connected encoder. The count value is always an incremental value.
The Reset the count value with the reference mark: parameter provides the
following options:
Selection
Description
Off
The count value counts the signal periods without any other starting
conditions. If this option is selected, a starting value can be speci-
fied in the field Count value [steps] after selecting the On option of
the parameter Set the count value:. After tapping Back, the count
value is set to the starting value entered and the product starts
counting.
Once
The count value is set to "0" and counting starts with the detec-
tion of the reference mark. When the count value is detected, the
parameter is set to Off again.
With each
The count value is set to "0" and counting starts with the detection
of the reference mark. When the next reference mark is detected,
the count value display freezes for approx. 0.5 s. This enables you
to check the number of signal periods between reference marks for
distance-coded encoders, for example.
