Rotational Offset

0

Rotational Offset indicates the amount of rotational offset that
the drive uses when synchronized. The rotational offset is applied
in the retarded direction (lagging the synchronized spindle mas-
ter). The value in the field is determined by the following formula:
Offset

= 0 … 255

256

For example, a numerator of 128 indicates an offset of 1/2 revo-
lution (180°).

The valid parameter values are 0 to 255.

The specified value may be rounded. Rotational offset is not used
when the drive is configured as the synchronized-spindle master.
