4.1.8
Resolution of an encoder revolution
The following applies to software versions lower than V3.0:
The resolution of an encoder revolution and hence of a position value is constantly set to 16 bits/
revolution, which corresponds to 65536 increments/revolution. At this resolution, the traversing
range comprises ±32767 revolutions.
The following applies from software version V3.0:
C00100
serves to adjust the resolution to the application.
• The default resolution of 16 bits/revolution is sufficient for standard applications.
[4-10] Example: standard resolution (16 bits/revolution)
• For more significant applications, a higher resolution of the position values can clearly improve
the control properties and positioning accuracies:
• Finer resolution of the position targets improved positioning accuracy
• Finer quantisation of setpoints and actual values better control quality
• Higher loop gain adjustable less following errors
• However, a higher resolution at the same time causes a restricted number of encoder
revolutions, and only smaller traversing distances can be displayed.
[4-11] Example: Higher resolution (22 bits/revolution) with a restricted traversing range
Tip!
In the following subchapter "
Determining the optimum resolution
it is described
how you can determine the optimum resolution of the position values.
