WARNING
Note
Fig. 5: Hardware manager
in the SIMATIC
The encoder is set to a pre-defined value by pressing the pushbutton. The value pre-
defined from the factory is zero (0).
The function is used for electronic adjustment during commissioning to allocate a specific
position value to a mechanical position of the shaft encoder (see also section 3.4.4 on
page 12).
After triggering the preset function, check whether there is a hazard from the machine
or system in which the encoder is integrated!
The preset function results in a change in the position value output by the encoder. This
change could cause an unexpected movement that may result in a hazard for persons or
damage to the system or other items.
