Simulation Mode
The Simulation Mode indicates whether the I/O connection to the drive and encoder should be active (FALSE) or simulated (TRUE). The parameter can be written at runtime if the axis is not enabled by the controller.
Simulation Data Source
Simulation Data Source specifies the object ID of the axis used for the simulation. If Simulation Mode is active and the Simulation Data Source is set, the encoder axis reads the setpoints from the simulation source as its own actual values.
Position Unit
The Position Unit field is used for display purposes, such as on the commissioning interface. Inputs and outputs on function blocks are not converted.
Is Modulo Axis
Enable this parameter to use modulo functionality in function blocks for this axis. The setpoint and actual values are calculated as absolute and modulo values in the cyclic interface. To exchange Modulo information - for example, with the PLC - you must enable the Modulo data area .
- Position Modulus
Modulo value used to calculate the modulo position
