Linear axis with linear scale
Figure 7-4 Linear axis with linear scale
In order to adapt the actual-value resolution to the calculation resolution, the control calculates the quotients from
the "internal increments/mm" and the "encoder increments/mm" as follows:
Internal increments / mm
Encoder increments / mm
The distance for linear encoders is based on the pulse increments.

In order to adapt the actual-value resolution to the calculation resolution, the control calculates the quotients from
the "internal increments/mm" and the "encoder increments/mm" as follows:
