Referencing type

  • Menu: 4.9.14-8.10-1
  • Index: 8708.80[0]

Description

The parameter is displayed if the following conditions are met:

  • The encoder is used for calculating the position.
  • The encoder is used to determine the absolute position (Modulo absolute position or Absolute position with limited travel distance set in the Position mode application parameter).

Defines how the encoder is referenced. Referencing ensures that the safe position matches the non-safe position of the system.

The parameter setting is specified in the Assist CS.. tool. In MOVISUITE®, the specified setting is only displayed. This description refers to the Assist CS.. tool.

The following settings are possible:

Meaning

No referencing

The encoder is not referenced.

Referencing via parameters

With this type of referencing, a specific raw position (Current raw position parameter) is assigned the corresponding absolute position in the application (Position of the application parameter).

INFORMATION: An encoder that is evaluated incrementally cannot use this type of referencing.

INFORMATION: The referencing type is not suitable for rotary encoders.

Direct referencing

With this type of referencing, a position is adopted that was defined as a reference point by the user and is entered in the Reference offset s1 parameter (parameter group Safe referencing).

During the referencing process, the drive must be at the reference point of the system.

Reference travel

This type of referencing involves referencing to cams. The user must actively start a movement in the inverter. The safety option monitors only the movement.

If the reference cam is passed, the position of the cam (Reference cam position s2 parameter in the parameter group Safe referencing) is adopted as the reference position. The cam can be activated via a safe digital input F‑DI or via the safe process data of the higher-level safety controller.

DefaultSetting
