The code sequence defines whether increasing or decreasing position values are

provided when the encoder shaft rotates clockwise or counterclockwise (seen on

the shaft)� The control of the scaling function is used for enabling/disabling the

steps per revolution in the object (6001h) and for the complete measuring range in

steps in the object (6001h) (→ chapter 6.5).
If the scaling function bit is set, the scaling parameters affect the output position

value� If the scaling function bit is set to 0, the scaling function is disabled�

Scaling function

Overview

6.5.1
With the scaling function the internal numerical value of the encoder is converted

in the software to change the physical resolution of the encoder� The parameters

"steps per revolution" (object 0x6001h) and "total measuring range in steps"

(object 0x6002h) are the scaling parameters which operate with the scaling

function control bit�

For scaling a multiturn encoder the parameter "steps per revolution" must

be transmitted before the parameter "total measuring range in steps"�

The data type for both scaling parameters is 32 (without sign) with a value range

from 1 to 2

32

(limited by the encoder resolution)� For a 25-bit encoder with a

singleturn resolution of 13 bits the permitted value for "steps per revolution" is

between 1 and 2

13

(8192)� For the "total measuring range in steps" the permitted

value is between 1 and 2

25

(33554432)� The scaling parameters are stored in a

non-volatile memory and reloaded at each start-up�
