Position mode

  • Menu: 4.9.14-20.1-1
  • Index: 8599.10

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).

Specifies the position mode of the connected encoder.

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:

Setting

Meaning

Without overflow counter

The encoder must be able to map the entire positioning range / travel distance without overrun.

Single-turn absolute position

This setting is useful for the modulo positioning mode. It is mainly used in distance encoders (encoder 2 and encoder 3) or in the motor encoder (encoder 1) of a direct drive.

The encoder must be installed in the application in such a way that its single-turn range represents a logical revolution (e.g. of a rotary table).

Incremental

The position value is continuously updated in increments.

The encoder must be referenced after every power on. During referencing, no safety sub-functions based on an absolute position can be used (e.g. SLP, SCA).

A HIPERFACE® encoder connected as encoder 2 can only be evaluated in increments.
