For scaling of the encoder as required, please proceed as follows:
Bring the encoder to the desired start position by turning the encoder shaft.
Enter the desired start value in the entry field start position, e.g. 0. Confirm
entry by clicking „assign start position“.
Thereupon bring encoder to the required end position and enter the
desired end position, e.g. 100, in the field end position. Confirm entry by
clicking „assign end position“.
Attention: The set direction of rotation must correspond to the actual direction.
After having proceeded as above steps a window will appear showing the corresponding
scaling.
For a new automatic scaling, set the encoder to max. resolution by clicking „reset resolution“
and proceed according to the above-mentioned steps.
The „Teach In“ function is capable to calculate the turns/steps in whole numbers
only, reason why there is a corresponding rounding up or down. The maximum
possible rounding difference is +/- 0,5 steps. As a consequence, the start count is
differing from the desired one after „Teach In“ has been effected. The divergence
resp. error is determined as follows:
