Position of the application

  • Menu: 4.9.14-8.12-1
  • Index: 8708.82[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).
  • The reference position is determined using the current raw position of the encoder (Referencing via parameters setting in the Referencing type parameter).

Current position of the application in user units that must be assigned to the raw position. The current position of the application can be copied from the Position parameter (parameter group Diagnostics > Process values > Active drive train > Actual values in user units).

SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends not using referencing via parameters with rotary encoders because when the encoder is replaced, it is not possible to restore the exact same raw position at the same position in the application.
