4.6.3 Configuring axes for encoders with EnDat interface
If the corresponding encoder input has already been assigned to an axis, a
connected encoder with EnDat interface is automatically detected upon restart, and
the settings are adapted. Alternatively, you can assign the encoder input after you
have connected the encoder.
Prerequisite: An encoder with EnDat interface is connected to the product.

Connected encoder model
Settings:
Linear encoder: Linear axis
Angle encoder: Rotary axis
Angle encoder as linear encoder: Rotary axis is displayed as
linear axis
Default value: Depending on the connected encoder
For display of a rotary axis as a linear axis:
traverse path in mm per revolution
Setting range: 0.1 mm ... 1000 mm
Default value: 1.0
