Counting direction

Menu: 4.9.13-5.10-1
Index: 8713.6[0]

Description

The parameter is displayed if the encoder parameters are adopted from the configuration of the drive train.

Counting direction of the encoder. The parameter is based on the installation position of the encoder and supports encoders that are mounted opposite to the standard installation.

The parameter setting is determined during startup of the encoder by the configuration of the drive train.

The following display values are possible:

Setting	Meaning
Normal	The encoder rotates in the same direction of rotation as the motor. The encoder provides a positive increasing position for a clockwise rotating motor shaft (direction of rotation looking at the motor shaft from the front).
Inverted	The encoder rotates in the opposite direction of rotation as the motor. The encoder provides a negative decreasing position for a clockwise rotating motor shaft (direction of rotation looking at the motor shaft from the front).

Setting

Meaning

Normal

The encoder rotates in the same direction of rotation as the motor.

The encoder provides a positive increasing position for a clockwise rotating motor shaft (direction of rotation looking at the motor shaft from the front).

Inverted

The encoder rotates in the opposite direction of rotation as the motor.

The encoder provides a negative decreasing position for a clockwise rotating motor shaft (direction of rotation looking at the motor shaft from the front).
