Functional Description

Defines the direction of rotation.

The direction of rotation is considered in the parameters InitPosition and Velocity. A negative direction of rotation causes the absolute position to be reflected within its range of representation.

NOTE: Corruption of the velocity signal during a change of Direction. The velocity signal is briefly corrupted, which can cause other errors. Only change the parameter value at encoder standstill. Maintain the standstill for at least the set filter time.

Value

BOOL

Rotation in counterclockwise direction (looking at the shaft).

right / 1

BOOL

Rotation in clockwise direction (looking at the shaft).
