Configuration - Mechanics

Configuration - Mechanics
In the "Mechanics" configuration window, you can configure the mounting type of the
encoder, and the adaptation of the encoder value to the mechanical conditions.
Type of encoder mounting
In the drop-down list, select how the encoder is mounted on the mechanism. The
configuration varies depending on the axis type and the type of encoder mounting.
Axis type: Linear
● Linear - On the motor shaft (Page 125)
● Linear - On the motor side (Page 126)
● Linear - External Measuring System (Page 126)
Axis type: Rotary
● Rotary - On the motor shaft (Page 127)
● Rotary - On the load side (Page 127)
● Rotary - External Measuring System (Page 128)
Linear - On the motor shaft
The encoder is firmly mechanically connected with the motor shaft. Motor and encoder form
a unit.
Load gear
● Consider load gear and leadscrew pitch for encoder evaluation
● Number of motor revolutions / number of load revolutions

6.6 Configuring the positioning axis/synchronous axis technology object
Activate the check box, if you want to perform the configuration based on the gear ratio
and the leadscrew pitch.
Deactivate the check box, if you want to perform the configuration based on the motor
revolution and the resulting distance.
The gear ratio of the load gear is specified as the ratio between motor revolutions and
load revolutions. Specify here an integral number of motor revolutions and the resulting
number of load revolutions.
