Terminology

Encoder range

The encoder range is the position area that can itself represent the absolute encoder.

Singleturn encoder

A singleturn encoder is a rotating absolute encoder, which provides an absolute image of the position inside an encoder rotation.

Multiturn encoder

A multiturn encoder is an absolute encoder that provides an absolute image of several encoder revolutions (e.g. 4096 revolutions).

Description

Position tracking enables reproduction of the position of the load when gears are used. It can also be used to extend the position area.

With position tracking, an additional measuring gear can be monitored and also a load gear, if the "position control" function module (p0108.3 = 1) is active. Position tracking of the load gear is described under "Function modules" -> "Position control" -> Actual position value conditioning.
