Required Data for Comissioning

Before you start commissioning the encoder, make sure you do have the following information about it:

 

Encoder feature

Example

1

What power supply does the encoder need? In case it is 5 V: Does it provide connections for the sense line?

5 V with sense line

2

Maximum current consumption of the encoder? The AX5000 can provide a max. of 250 mA per feedback channel.

150 mA

3

Pure digital interface or sine/ cosine signals provided?

with sine/ cosine signals

4

Maximum clock frequency for the BISS-C communication

10 MHz

5

For a rotary encoder: Number of singleturn bits and number of multiturn bits

For a linear encoder: Number of position bits

rotary, 19 bits ST, 12 bits MT

6

For a rotary encoder: Number of sine periods per revolution

For a linear encoder: Length of signal period

rotary: 2048

7

For a linear encoder: Resolution of the digital interface
