Fig. 120: Setting the base frequency
Selecting the feedback system (only for the module with encoder connections)
Two feedback system options are available for selection:
• Encoder: Use external encoder for position feedback
• Internal Counter (default): Use internal counter for position feedback
Note
CoE "Feedback type"
By default, the stepper module is set to internal counter. If an external encoder is used, the
setting must be changed by double-clicking on the index 8012:08 [
} 181] "Feedback type" in
the Enum menu (Fig. "Selecting the feedback system").
Note
Adaptation of the scaling factor
The feedback system is directly related to the scaling factor [ } 104] of the TwinCAT NC, so
that the scaling factor always has to be adjusted when the feedback system is changed.
