Description of programming functions
Number of lines Number of pulses emitted by the encoder per mechanical rotation.
TTL/HTL electrical interface Choice between TTL-compatible or HTL-compatible signal output.
Zero pulse width, electrical Width of the zero pulse (= length of the high signal) in relation to an impulse period.
Zero pulse width, mechanical Width of the zero pulse in relation to a mechanical revolution of the shaft.
Signal sequence / direction of
rotation
This function can be used to change the signal sequence:
A leads B – A comes before B when rotating in a clockwise direction and looking at the shaft.
B leads A – B comes before A when rotating in a clockwise direction and looking at the shaft.
Reset to factory settings All programmable values are reset to the values
that the encoder / inclination sensor had when leaving the production plant.
Set zero pulse This function can be used to change the position of the zero pulse on a mechanical rotation of
the encoder. The zero point is assigned to the current position of the encoder. The rotary encod-
er should not be rotated while the function is being executed.
Singleturn scaling Adjustability of the resolution output by the encoder per rotation.
Multiturn scaling Adjustability of the resolution output by the encoder via the number of rotations.
Counting direction CW/CCW Counting direction rising/falling.
Set preset value Sets the position value to zero or to a preset value.
Speed format Selects the appropriate speed format (e.g. rpm, rps, etc.).
Round axis functionality
The round axis functionality permits resolutions for non-integer numbers of rotations (e.g. 3,600
steps at 2.75 rotations).
Diagnostics Additional data provided by the encoder (such as temperature monitoring, operating hour count-
er, speed monitoring, etc.).
Measuring range scaling To increase the resolution, the measuring range of the inclination sensors can be individually
adapted to the application within the maximum measuring range.
Output signal scaling The output signal of the analog inclination sensors is set at the factory to 4 to 20 mA or 0 to
10 V, but can also be freely programmed (value range is type-dependent).
Axis assignment The analog inclination sensors have two output channels, to which a measuring axis can be
assigned.
Output limitation This function can be used to dene whether the output value rises further when the congured
limit value is reached or remains at the limit value.
Set zero point The zero point of the inclination sensors can also be set as desired after the installation. In
addition, it is possible to allocate a dened angle value to the current position.
Digital lter settings A low-pass lter is used to stabilize the output value. The characteristic and the limit frequency
can be congured.
Counting direction Adjustability of the plus/minus sign of the angle values.
