Traceable

Yes

Functional Description

Defines the direction of rotation.

The direction of rotation is taken into consideration in the parameter Velocity. A negative direction of rotation causes the absolute position to be reflected within its range of representation.

NOTE: Modify the Direction parameter value at encoder standstill. Otherwise, the velocity signal appears incorrect, which can cause the other detected errors. Maintain the standstill for at least the set filter time.

Value
