Depending on the drive logic, you must select either: Enable +/-10V.
v1.1 16.01.12 P06.03 Encoder resolution The encoder resolution can be programmed if it is already known, but can also be determined using the axis Wizard P06.04 Position Speed Must be done manually before using the Wizard. Here you must enter an approximate realistic positioning speed for the back gauge. The real maximum positioning speed will then be determined by the Wizard.
v1.1 16.01.12 30 mm 5 mm One-way positioning with overrun of +final approach of 1 mm/s: Advanced button Touching the Advanced button displays the P06b Advanced Axis Regulator page. These parameters are automatically generated by executing the Wizard described below. See section P06b Advanced Axis Regulator X for more details. Axis Settings -X- Wizard Important: Before using the Wizard, a number of parameters must be set manually, see section P06 Axis Settings –X-.

v1.1 16.01.12 The P06.04 Positioning Speed can be made lower but never higher. If an identification error [ ] occurs: Err 1 = No motion detected. Should not happen if you started the Wizard from the beginning. Err 2 = Not enough oscillations.
v1.1 16.01.12 DVANCED EGULATOR All parameters in this chapter are automatically calculated by the Wizard. P06b.01 Change Counting Direction This parameter changes the counting direction for the axis movement/positioning. P06b.02 Manual Speed This parameter determines the manual movement speed for the axis in mm/sec. P06b.03 Acceleration This parameter determines the X axis default acceleration speed.
