Resolution of the position measuring system

Configuration of the conversion factor

To convert the increments supplied by the position measuring system to the metric system (the unit used internally), the conversion factor must be entered in the two entries getriebe[x].wegaufz and getriebe[x].wegaufn. If gears are present, they must also be taken into consideration. The resolution is specified as a fraction and the dimension is increments/0.1 µm and Increments per 0.0001°.

Each of these entries is not directly adopted when the axis parameter list is updated. A controller restart is required.

For SERCOS drives with position control in the controller (CNC_ POSITION_CONTROL mode), the path resolution of the measuring system is taken into consideration in the feedrate constant S-0-0123, i.e. the value 1 results for the quotient P-AXIS-00234/ P-AXIS-00233.
