External encoder on slot 2 for virtual axis

[Michael_Pilgrim]

Hello everyone,

I have the following problem, which I have not yet been able to solve with existing posts from the forum.

I am using an AcoposMulti (single) on which a real axis runs. Now I would like to create an additional virtual axis that receives an encoder value from an external encoder. The encoder is connected to plug-in module 2 (SS2) of the Acopos. (8BAC0123.000-1) Unfortunately, I am unable to obtain a position value. I have already tried different ParIDs, but without success.

Best regards, Michael

Hello,

according to Position sources for drive control

you can get the position from ENCOD1_S_ACT (91) from 2nd axis (even if you use a single axis module)

Hi,

with mapp Motion you can configure an “External encoder axis”, see screenshot.
The axis object can then be used with function blocks, e.g. as master axis for couplings.
Encoder errors are reported via this axis object (not via the real axis of channel 2).
