Internal Units and scaling factors

Technosoft drives/motors work with parameters and variables represented in internal units (IU). The parameters and variables may represent various signals: position, speed, current, voltage, etc. Each type of signal has its own internal representation in IU and a specific scaling factor. In order to easily identify each type of IU, these have been named after the associated signals. For example the position units are the internal units for position, the speed units are the internal units for speed, etc.

The scaling factor of each internal unit shows the correspondence with the international standard units (SI). The scaling factors are dependent on the product, motor and sensor type. Put in other words, the scaling factors depend on the setup configuration.

In order to find the internal units and the scaling factors for a specific case, select the application in the project window and then execute menu command Help | Application Programming | Internal Units and Scaling Factors.

Important: The Help | Application Programming | Internal Units and Scaling Factors command provides customized information function of the application setup. If you change the drive, the motor technology or the feedback device, check again the scaling factors with this command. It may show you other relations!
