Synchronization
mode
Invert counting
direction of
incremental
positions
The absolute and the incremental positions are synchronized with each other
at the counting limits (zero crossover of absolute and incremental tracks).
Synchronization inactive:
Synchronization mode active:
Example: 13-bit rotary encoder
If the zero position is rotated into the "minus" range, the absolute code of the absolute track
restarts with the highest position value (in the example: 8191), whereas the incremental counter
starts to count backwards, i.e. -1, -2 …
When the synchronization mode is activated, the incremental counter also starts with the
highest absolute value (in the example: 8191).
Counting limit = Absolute value 'Zero' ( ∅
)
Absolute position [bits] display
The displayed value corresponds to the position value transmitted by the encoder.
(1:1 display of the transferred, non-converted data)
The absolute encoder position is displayed as binary value.
Position 1 represents bit 1 which is the LSB (Least Significant Bit) of the position value.
