Reading format configuration

(Original Document)

Role of the parameter

This parameter defines the format for the position reading, calculated by the module.

The format is chosen according to the .

Parameter selection

The following table can be used to select the format type (1, 2 or 3) depending on the type of application.

	Type 1	Type 2	Type 3

Type of movement	rotary and alternating	cyclic	continuous
Position reading	angular	angular + number of turns	counting the number of pulses
Format	8..15 bits (cycle) for incremental 8..14 bits for absolute	8..15 bits (cycle) for incremental 8..14 bits for absolute 1..15 bits (turn)	15 bits (cycle) ie. 32768 pulses
Synchro	machine	machine	parts detection
Type of encoder	incremental or absolute	incremental or absolute	incremental

The choice is made via a pull-down menu. The other fields are for information only.

These are all the external elements that control the movements of the machine (reducer, encoder…).

This is the feature of the machine that sets the speed cycles on the axis.

Area in which the action of the outputs can be programmed.

"Part synchro", "Machine synchro": these are the two main modes of synchronization of the axis (which brings the parts in) in relation to the tool box. One or other of them is used according to the type of application.

Synchronization is necessary with an incremental encoder.

Position sensor accepted by the module It can be incremental, SSI absolute or parallel (via Telefast ABE 7CPA11).
