Encoder Safety Configuration view parameters
The parameters on
Encoder Safety Configuration
define the safety connection. The update rate of the safety connection is typically slower than the standard connection.Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Monitor Input Voltage | This parameter for voltage input monitoring is always enabled. |
Enable Position Scaling | Sets Position Scaling to 1 and enables the scaling function. |
Enable Endless Shaft Functionality | Enables the endless shaft functionality. Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is disabled by default for multi-turn devices. For a single-turn device, Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is always disabled.In a multi-turn device, this parameter is only enabled when Enable Position Scaling is selected. |
Numerator | Sets the numerator for the endless shaft functionality, where the steps per revolution are set as a fraction. The valid values are from 1 through 4096. For a single-turn device, the value is hard-coded to 1. In a multi-turn device, the default value is 4096. In a multi-turn device, this parameter is only enabled when Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is selected. |
Denominator | Sets the denominator for the endless shaft functionality, where the steps per revolution are set as a fraction. The valid values are from 1 through 8192. For a single-turn device, the value is hard-coded to 1. In a multi-turn device, the default value is 1. In a multi-turn device, this parameter is only enabled when Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is selected. |
Resolution (CPR) | The valid values for Resolution are from 1 through 32768. When disabled, the value for Resolution is set to the default value of 32768. When Enable Endless Shaft is selected, the last value entered is displayed, but ignored.This parameter is only enabled when Enable Position Scaling is selected and Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is not selected. |
Revolutions | Sets the number of turns. In a multi-turn device, the valid values for Revolutions are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096. For a single-turn device, the Revolutions value is always disabled and hard-coded to 1. For a multi-turn device, the default value and the disabled value is 4096.In a multi-turn device, this parameter is only enabled when Enable Position Scaling is selected and Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is not selected. |
Range | When Enable Position Scaling is selected and Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is cleared, the value for Range is the Resolution value multiplied by the number of Revolutions . For a multi-turn device, the allowed values are from 4 through 134217728 and the default value is 134217728. For a single-turn device, the allowed values are 4 to 32768 and the default value is 32768. This parameter is only enabled for multi-turn devices when Enable Position Scaling is selected and Enable Endless Shaft Functionality is selected. |
Direction | Set the Direction of the count to Clockwise or Counterclockwise . The default value is Clockwise . |
Velocity Units | The default value is Counts/s. The valid values are:
Configuring the velocity units also configures the acceleration units:
|
Preset | Sets the Preset value, in counts. The maximum value is 1 less than the total measuring range. The valid values are 0 to (Range - 1). |
