Set the counter value - referencing (Index 0x7000:03, 0x7000:08)

Since incremental encoders do not deliver an unambiguous position value after switching on, a homing must be carried out.

The EL5151-0021 offers the option to set the reference point both manually via Set counter (index 0x7000:03) and via the function Set counter on latch C (index 0x7000:08) on reaching the zero pulse.

• “Set counter” (index 0x7000:03)
• The value to be set as reference value (default: 0) is written in Set counter value (index 0x7000:11).
• The function is activated by setting the bit in Set counter (index 0x7000:03) to TRUE.
• The value from Set counter value (index 0x7000:11) is written in Counter value (index 0x6000:11).
• The value of the bit in Set counter done (index 0x6000:03) is set to TRUE.
• After re-activation of Set counter (index 0x7000:03) or Set counter on latch C (index 0x7000:08), the next reference value is written into Counter value (index 0x6000:11) only if the value of the Set counter done bit (index 0x6000:03) is FALSE.
  The Set counter done bit (index 0x6000:03) is reset if both Set counter (index 0x7000:03) and Set counter on latch C (index 0x7000:08) have been reset.
• “Set counter on latch C” index 0x7000:08
• The value to be set as reference value (default: 0) is written in Set counter value (index 0x7000:11).
• The function is activated by setting the bit in Set counter on latch C (index 0x7000:08) to TRUE.
• The value from Set counter value (index 0x7000:11) is written into Counter value (index 0x6000:11) if the zero pulse is present on channel C.
• The value of the bit in Set counter done (index 0x6000:03) is set to TRUE.
• After re-activation of Set counter (index 0x7000:03) or Set counter on latch C (index 0x7000:08), the next reference value is written into Counter value (index 0x6000:11) only if the value of the Set counter done bit (index 0x6000:03) is FALSE.
  The Set counter done bit (index 0x6000:03) is reset if both Set counter (index 0x7000:03) and Set counter on latch C (index 0x7000:08) have been reset.
• If “Enable latch C” (index 0x7000:01) und “Set counter on latch C” (index 0x7000:08) are activated simultaneously
• the counter value will be saved in Latch value (index 0x6000:12) upon the first pulse with a rising edge at input C. Subsequently the counter value in Counter value (index 0x6000:11) will be overwritten by the value specified in Set counter value (index 0x7000:11).
