3.3.3 Scaling of Analog and Pulse References and Feedback
References and feedback are scaled from analog and pulse inputs in the same way. The only difference is that a reference above or below the specified minimum
and maximum "endpoints" (P1 and P2 in the graph below) are clamped whereas a feedback above or below is not.

The endpoints P1 and P2 are defined by the following parameters depending on which analog or pulse input is used
P2 = (Maximum input value, Maximum reference value)
Maximum reference value
Maximum input value
3.3.4 Dead Band Around Zero
In some cases the reference (in rare cases also the feedback) should have a Dead Band around zero (i.e. to make sure the machine is stopped when the reference
is "near zero").
To make the dead band active and to set the amount of dead band, the following settings must be done:
•
Either Minimum Reference Value (see table above for relevant parameter) or Maximum Reference Value must be zero. In other words; Either P1 or P2
must be on the X-axis in the graph below.
•
And both points defining the scaling graph are in the same quadrant.
