PLS.UNITS

Description

PLS.UNITS is a bit variable which determines the behavior of the eight PLSs available in the drive. This parameter is used to select the units for the PLS pulse.

Examples

Bit Value	Behavior
Bit 0 = 0 Position-based PLS handling.	The PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 1 when the position is within the range of PLS.P1 + PLS.WIDTH1 (PLS.P1 <= PL.FB <= PLS.P1+PLS.WIDTH1). When the parameter PLS.WIDTH1 has been set to the value of 0, this bit will be activated as soon as PLS.FB >= PL.P1.
Bit 0 = 1 Time-based PLS handling.	After PLS.P1 is crossed, the PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 1 for a PLS.T1 ms period of time.
Bit 7 = 0 Position-based PLS handling.	The PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 8 when the position is within the range of PLS.P8 + PLS.WIDTH8 (PLS.P8 <= PL.FB <= PLS.P8+PLS.WIDTH8). When the parameter PLS.WIDTH8 has been set to the value of 0, this bit will be activated as soon as PLS.FB >= PL.P8.
Bit 7 = 1 Time-based PLS handling.	After PLS.P8 has been crossed. the PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 8 for a PLS.T8 ms period of time.

Bit Value

Behavior

Bit 0 = 0

Position-based PLS handling.

The PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 1 when the position is within the range of PLS.P1 + PLS.WIDTH1

(PLS.P1 <= PL.FB <= PLS.P1+PLS.WIDTH1).

When the parameter PLS.WIDTH1 has been set to the value of 0, this bit will be activated as soon as PLS.FB >= PL.P1.

Bit 0 = 1

Time-based PLS handling.

After PLS.P1 is crossed, the PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 1 for a PLS.T1 ms period of time.

Bit 7 = 0

Position-based PLS handling.

The PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS

8 when the position is within the range of PLS.P8 + PLS.WIDTH8

(PLS.P8 <= PL.FB <= PLS.P8+PLS.WIDTH8).

When the parameter PLS.WIDTH8 has been set to the value of 0, this bit will be activated as soon as PLS.FB >= PL.P8.

Bit 7 = 1

Time-based PLS handling.

After PLS.P8 has been crossed. the PLS.STATE parameter displays an active PLS 8 for a PLS.T8 ms period of time.

Continuous position-based PLS handling

PLS.P1 = 720

PLS.WIDTH1 = 360

PLS.UNITS bit 0 (for PLS 1) = low; PLS.T1 is not considered.

PLS.EN bit 0 (for PLS 1) = high

PLS.MODE bit 0 (for PLS 1) = low

Time-based PLS handling

PLS.P1 = 720

PLS.T1 = 10

PLS.UNITS bit 0 (for PLS 1) = low; PLS.WIDTH1 is not considered.

PLS.EN bit 0 (for PLS 1) = high

PLS.MODE bit 0 (for PLS 1) = low

Fieldbus Information

If your drive type is listed as supported but no index, address, or instance number is listed, then this parameter is accessible through WorkBench, but not over your fieldbus type. For information on SynqNet parameters see SynqNet Supported Parameters.
