10.6.2 Backlash Compensation during Reference Point Approach
Compensation of the backlash during reference point approach ( Section 10.13.1) is similar to
compensation during positioning.
Synchronization is attained only when the reference point is approached in a positive direction.
Decisive for evaluation of the direction is the instant at which the preliminary contact signal
(connected to the IP's IN input) changes back to zero.
Since the position is normally not known following power-up, the approach to the reference
point is normally begun after traversing to a starting point. The actual value of the starting point
must therefore be less than the negative edge of the preliminary contact signal.
The direction of travel for reference point approach must always be specified by the S5 CPU.
Note
In order to ensure that synchronization is always done at the same place, the
direction of travel for the reference point approach may not be changed
following the negative edge at the IN input until the zero mark has been reached
(synchronization).
10.7 Actual Value Generation
The IP 240 computes an internal signed count by counting the encoder pulses and evaluating the
phase displacement between encoder pulse trains A and B. You can influence the conversion of
this count into the actual value by
• configuring the required resolution and
• specifying a zero offset.
The actual value stored on the IP 240 is updated in every module firmware cycle, and can be read
out over the S5 CPU.
Counting direction
The IP 240 counts the acquired encoder pulses
• up when the B signal is the leading signal.
• down when the A signal is the leading signal.

Changing the counting direction
To change the counting direction, you must interchange the following:
• for symmetrical encoders, interchange A/A and B/B
• for asymmetrical encoders, interchange A* and B*
