Encoder configurations

Depending on the setting for "0x8F00-01 – Encoder feedback configuration", the function module operates in open-loop or closed-loop mode. A distinction is made between the following encoder configurations:

The following motion profiles are available with device profile CiA 402:

  • Reference travel (homing)
  • Commutation detection
  • PtP position profile
  • Speed profile
  • Torque control
  • Synchronous positioning
Possible combinations

Open loop | PtP position profile (1), speed profile (3), homing (6), synchronous positioning (8)

"0x8F00-01 – Encoder feedback configuration"

0: Open loop

"0x8280-01 – Setpoint operating mode"

Operating mode: 1, 3, 6 or 8

"0x8480-02 – Actual position"

Position value of the profile generator.
