4.2.4 Revolutions
With singleturn encoders, the value for the rotations cannot be set. It is always set to 1.
4.2.5 Steps/revolutions
Number of steps with which a rotation of the encoder axis is to be resolved. The possible value
range lies between 2 and 8192 steps/rotation.
4.2.6 Total resolution
The total resolution is the product of steps/rotation multiplied by the number of rotations.
Calculation formula for the total resolution:
1. Singleturn encoder
1 X Steps/revolutions = Total Resolution
2. Multiturn encoder
Revolutions X Steps/revolutions = Total Resolution
e.g.
For 100 steps/rotation and a desired number of rotations of 10
the total resolution is 1000.
Depending on the encoder type, either the number of rotations or the total resolution can be
set. The other value is highlighted in gray, and can therefore not be changed. However, the
value is calculated and displayed.
Information:
This revolution can also be used for movements which run through the zero point several
times in the same direction (endless operation).
4.2.7 Back to main menu
The "Return to main menu" button exits the programming mask. If parameters have been
changed, these can still be saved.
4.2.8 Dialog window
Information texts on the parameter currently selected are shown in the dialog window.
The information texts describe the respective parameter with brief explanations.
4.2.9 Display of encoder type
The encoder which was selected manually or automatically after the program start is
permanently displayed in the programming mask. This makes it possible to monitor whether
the selected and the existing encoder are identical.
