Before you use the PrimaryEncoderRadiusThresholdHigh parameter:

  1. Set the FeedbackInput0 Parameter or the FeedbackInput1 Parameter to Primary Feedback.
  2. Set the PrimaryFeedbackType Parameter to one of the values that follow:
    • IncrementalEncoderSineWave
    • AbsoluteEncoderEnDatwithSineWaveIncremental
    • AbsoluteEncoderBiSSwithSineWaveIncremental

The PrimaryEncoderRadiusThresholdHigh parameter sets the value of the high threshold for the encoder radius. If the encoder radius goes above this threshold, the controller generates a FeedbackInput0 Fault or FeedbackInput1 Fault.

The value of the high threshold corresponds to the percentage of the maximum input value that the controller can detect. The optimal encoder radius is 90 percent of the maximum input value.

If you want the controller to disable the maximum encoder radius analysis, set the PrimaryEncoderRadiusThresholdHigh parameter to zero.
