Selecting the display step with linear encoders

To select a certain display step, you must define the following

operating parameters:
• Signal period (P31)

• Counting mode (P33)

• Decimal places (P38)
Example

Linear encoder with a signal period of 10 µm
Desired display step ................ 0.000 5 mm
Signal period (P31) ................... 10
Counting mode (P33) ............... 5
Decimal places (P38) ............... 4
The following tables will help you select the parameters.
