Resolver Scaling

6.5.6 Resolver Scaling

Defining the Valid 16-bit Position Range

For general scaling information, see the Scaling Overview topic.

Because the RMC uses 16-bit positions, positions must all fit within a range of 65,536 position

units. Because position units are user definable, this range does not limit most applications. See

the section below on defining position units.

For resolver axes, the Coordinate Limit parameter is used with the Scale parameter to define the

position range. If the Scale parameter is positive, then the position range extends from the

Coordinate Limit value (which would normally be negative) up to the Coordinate Limit + 65535. If

the Scale parameter is negative, then the position range extends from the Coordinate Limit value

(which would normally be positive) down to the Coordinate Limit – 65535. The following chart

summarizes this concept:

Offset

Translating to Position Units

Before the translation from counts to position units begins, the Count Offset is applied to the

counts. This means that the value of the Count Offset is subtracted from the Counts before they

are displayed or processed in any way. For a full discussion on the use of the Count Offset

setting, see Resolver Configuration.

The following formula summarizes the translation from transducer counts to Actual Position units:

As described above, the Count Offset configuration setting has already been subtracted from the

Counts field before using this formula. If the Actual Position overflows the valid 16-bit position

range due to excessive travel of the axis, the position will wrap around to the opposite extreme

shown in the table of the minimum and maximum positions above.

Notice that the Scale can hold values from -32768 to 32768, but 16-bit signed numbers are

limited to -32768 to 32767. Therefore, enter a scale of 32768 as 0; the RMC will interpret it as

32768.
