Important: Pay attention to the I/O addresses. You need them later when the position values are monitored.POSITAL-Absolute-Encoder-With-Profinet-Interface-image (17) Monitors Values

  1. Use the Watch and force tables to monitor values
  2. Go to Force table
  3. Click on Monitor Values
  4. In a free row add the address: “%ID14“ to monitor position value

Important: The value in blue depends on the chosen Telegram (here Telegram 860). Check the manual for more information.POSITAL-Absolute-Encoder-With-Profinet-Interface-image (18)

Preset Value

  1. In a free row add the address: “%QD10” for preset position value
  2. Add the desired value(Bit 31 is set to “1” for Preset Control)
  3. Click on Force

Important: The value in blue depends on the chosen Telegram (here given for Telegram 860).

  1. Save the Preset: Bit 31 is set back to “0” for saving the preset
  2. Click on Force
  3. Now the Preset is set to “0”

Now Values in cell 1 and cell 3 are equal. Value from cell 1 was “forced” in cell 3

Preset Value – Explanation
The way of defining the preset value: Preset Control: Bit 31 must be set the to “1”

  • In HEX it is: 16#8000_0000
  • In BIN it is: 2#1000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000

We recommend to use the Hexadecimal values. As it is shorter, it is less likely to lead to mistakes.

Important: For more information check “Preset Value” chapter in the manual

Example: Set the Preset to “5”

  1. In cell 1 preset control is active (31 bit is set to “1” HEX: 16#8000_0000) and the desired value is set: “5”
  2. Click on Force
  3. The value is set to 5
  4. Save the Preset: 31 bit back to “0”
  5. Click on Force
  6. The value is set and saved to 5POSITAL-Absolute-Encoder-With-Profinet-Interface-image (21)

Monitor the Velocity

  1. Add the Address for the Velocity : ID18 (ID14 +4) in that case
  2. When moving the shaft, the velocity is monitored
