Variable position interface

Reference values for the variable position interface: S-0-0051; S-0-0053; S-0-0079

If the AX5000 is to transfer a single-turn position with a resolution of more than 20 bits to the controller, the variable position interface must be used.

The position of the axis is recorded in the AX5000 and handed over to the controller in S-0-0051 with a data length of 32 bits. Parameter S-0-0079 (Position Resolution) now specifies how many of these 32 bits are used for the single-turn range in S-0-0051* (Position feedback value 1). The remaining bits form the variable multi-turn range.

*This function also exists in S-0-0053 (Position feedback value 2).
