Linear Encoders
The display unit is designed for connection of photoelectric
encoders with sinusoidal signals of 7 µA
PP
to 16 µA

.
Selecting the display step with linear encoders
To select a certain display step, you must define the following
operating parameters:
• Signal period (P31)
• Counting mode (P33)
• Decimal places (P38)
Example
Linear encoder with a signal period of 10 µm
Desired display step ................ 0.000 5 mm
Signal period (P31) ................... 10
Counting mode (P33) ............... 5
Decimal places (P38) ............... 4
The following tables will help you select the parameters.
