Description
Object 60A9h contains:
- Bits 8 to 15: The time unit
- Bits 16 to 23: The position unit
- Bits 24 to 31: The exponent of a power of ten
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. Depending on the unit that is used, feed constant (6092h) and/or gear ratio (6091h) are/is taken into account.
| Name | Unit symbol | Value | 6091h | 6092h | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| meter | m | 01h | yes | yes | Meter |
| inch | in | C1h | yes | yes | Inch (=0.0254 m) |
| foot | ft | C2h | yes | yes | Foot (=0.3048 m) |
| grade | g | 40h | yes | no | Gradian (unit of angle, 400 corresponds to 360°) |
| radian | rad | 10h | yes | no | Radian |
| degree | ° | 41h | yes | no | Degrees |
| arcminute | ' | 42h | yes | no | Arcminute (60'=1°) |
| arcsecond | '' | 43h | yes | no | Arcsecond (60''=1') |
| mechanical revolution | B4h | yes | no | Revolution | |
| encoder increment | B5h | no | no | Encoder increments. Dependent on the used sensor (encoder/Hall sensor) and control mode. In open loop and sensorless mode, the number of pole pairs (2030h) multiplied by 65536 corresponds to one motor revolution. | |
| step | ACh | no | no | Steps. With 2-phase stepper motors, the number of pole pairs multiplied by 4 is equivalent to one revolution. With 3-phase BLDC motors, the number of pole pairs multiplied by 6 is equivalent to one revolution. | |
| electrical pole | C0h | no | no | Electric poles. With a stepper motor that has, e.g., 50 pole pairs, the unit corresponds to 1/50 of a revolution. | |
| dimensionless | 00h | yes | yes | Dimensionless length unit |
Listed in the following table are all supported units for the time and their values:
| Name | Unit symbol | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| second | s | 03h | Second |
| minute | min | 47h | Minute |
| hour | h | 48h | Hour |
| day | d | 49h | Day |

Example |
|
| If 60A9h is written with the value "00B44700h" (bits 8-15=00h, bits 16-23=B4h and bits 24-31=47h), the unit is set to revolutions per minute (factory setting). | |
|
Example |
|
| If 60A9h is written with the value "FD010300h" (bits 8-15=FDh(=-3), bits 16-23=01h and bits 24-31=03h), the unit is set to millimeters per second. | |
