First time I have used an absolute encoder and it is definitely. I have a Siemens 6FX2001-5FN25 https://support.industry.siemens.co...pid=308011&mlfb=6FX2001-5FN25&mfn=ps&lc=en-CZ attached to a Siemens S7-1214 via Profinet. The encoder output is 27 bit, the right hand 13 bits give the angular position and the rest gives the number of turns. I could go through everything I have tried but the post would be very long, so probably simpler just to ask how to convert the encoder output to a value of 0-8191 for the angular position, and how to get the number of revs. Also if anybody can tell me where the heck I find the TIA equivalent of the Step 7 manual picture below I would be grateful, the encoder may be running backwards.
