5.6 Encoder parameters

1 Position

This attribute represents the absolute position detected by the
position sensor.

2 Position sensor type

Type of device.
1: Single-turn absolute rotary encoder.
2: Multi-turn absolute rotary encoder.

3 Counting direction

Counting direction. attribute sets the rotation direction of the encoder
shaft and consequently defines whether the position value output by
the encoder increases when the encoder shaft rotates clockwise
(CW) or counterclockwise (CCW). CW and CCW rotations are
viewed from shaft end.
CW: turning the shaft CW the position will increase;
CCW: turning the shaft CCW the position will increase.

4 Scaling function control

Disabled: device uses the physical (hardware) resolution (see
Physical resolution/revolution
revolutions).
Enabled: device uses the resolution set in
and

5 Measuring units/rev

This object sets the number of distinguishable steps per revolution.

ATTENTION
We advise values which are power of 2 (2
