Encoder n status word (Gn_ZSW, n = 1, 2) 
The encoder status word is used to display states, errors and acknowledgements. 
Table 9- 25  Description of the individual signals in Gn_ZSW 
Bit  Name  Signal status, description 
Valid for "Find reference mark" and "Flying measurement" 
Bit  Meaning 
0  Function 1  Reference mark 1 
Probe 1 rising edge 
1  Function 2  Reference mark 2 
Probe 1 falling edge 
2  Function 3  Reference mark 3 
Probe 2 rising edge 
3  Function 4  Reference mark 4 
Probe 2 falling edge

Note: 
•  Bit x = 1 function active 
Bit x = 0 function inactive 
Valid for "Find reference mark" and "Flying measurement" 
Bit  Meaning 
4  Value 1  Reference mark 1 
Probe 1 rising edge 
5  Value 2  Probe 1 falling edge 
6  Value 3  Probe 2 rising edge 
7  Value 4  Probe 2 falling edge

Status: 
Value 1 - 4 
available 
Note: 
•  Bit x = 1 value available 
Bit x = 0 value not available 
•  Only one value can be fetched at a time. 
Reason: There is only one common status word Gn_XIST2 to read the values. 
•  The probe must be configured to a "high-speed input" of the Control Unit.
