User-defined units The controller offers you the possibility to set user-defined units. It is thereby possible to set and read out the corresponding parameters, e.g., directly in degrees [°], millimeter [mm], etc. Depending on the mechanical circumstances, you can also define a Gear ratio and/or a Feed constant. Note: Value changes of all objects that are described in this chapter are not immediately applied in the Operation enabled state of the CiA 402 Power State Machine. For this to happen, the Operation enabled state must be exited. Units Units of the international unit system (SI) as well as a number of specific units are supported. It is also possible to specify a power of ten as a factor. Listed in the following table are all supported units for the position and their values for 60A8h (Position unit) or 60A9h (Speed unit). Depending on the unit that is used, Feed constant (6092h) and/or Gear ratio (6091h) are/is taken into account.

Gear ratio The gear ratio is calculated from motor revolutions (60E8h (Motor Shaft Revolutions)) per axis rotations (60EDh (Driving Shaft Revolutions)). Feed constant The feed constant is calculated in user-defined position units from the feed (60E9h (Feed) per revolution of the output shaft (60EEh (Driving Shaft Revolutions). The feed constant is useful for specifying the lead screw pitch for a linear axis and is used if the unit is based on length dimensions or if it is dimensionless. Calculation formulas for user units Position unit Object 60A8h contains: Bits 16 to 23: The position unit (see chapter Units) Bits 24 to 31: The exponent of a power of ten (see chapter Units) Example If 60A8h is written with the value "FF410000h" (bits 16-23=41h and bits 24-31=FFh), the unit is set to tenths of degree (factory setting). With a relative target position (607Ah) of 3600, the motor moves exactly one mechanical revolution, if Gear ratio is 1:1. The Feed constant plays no role in this case.
