Required data:
The following data is needed for commissioning of the linear encoder:
Gear transmission [] or input speed / output speed [rpm/rpm]
Encoder resolution [bits]
Running wheel diameter [m]
Required accuracy [m] or resolution [increments/m]
1st step: Identify gear values reference system:
The input speed (motor speed) will determine the setting for parameter
Motor Shaft Revolutions
meter
Gear Box: Driving Shaft Revolutions
The value should be entered as exactly as possible. Shifting of decimal places or mul-
tiplication with appropriate factors can increase accuracy.
Example:
Input speed: 1401 rpm
Output speed: 77.3 rpm
Encoder resolution: 24 Bit
Diameter: 160 mm = 0.16 m
Required accuracy: 0.01 mm = 0.00001 m
Gear Box: Motor Shaft Revolutions
Gear Box: Driving Shaft Revolutions
2nd step: Identify feed constant reference system:
The feed constant is calculated by multiplying the diameter and π by the resolution.
The resolution is the reciprocal of the accuracy.

Example:
Diameter: 0.16 m = 160 mm
Required resolution: 0.00001 m = 0.01 mm
Feed constant
3rd step: Calculate auxiliary quantity reference system
In the following step, the ratio of the

lations frequently. For better clarity, auxiliary quantity "R" (=reference system) is
calculated now:
