Frequently Asked Questions
How many axes can 6FM1726-3CA00 control?
The module supports as many as three axes identified as A, B and C.
Which encoder technologies can be connected to 6FM1726-3CA00?
Incremental encoders and serial absolute encoders are supported.
Which coding is required for an absolute encoder on 6FM1726-3CA00?
The serial absolute-encoder interface uses Gray-coded position values.
Why might 6FM1726-3CA00 require a 32-byte DPR setting?
Buffered operation requires the longer 32-byte data range.
What basic positioning resolutions can be configured on 6FM1726-3CA00?
Each used axis can select 1, 10 or 100 micrometres per increment.
How many traversing blocks can 6FM1726-3CA00 store in EEPROM?
The supported maximum is 350 traversing blocks.
How does 6FM1726-3CA00 detect missing encoder pulses?
Pulse monitoring compares counts between zero marks with the configured encoder data and stops the affected axis when the error limit is reached.
Compatibility & Ordering Notes
Compatibility Checklist
- Record the hardware and firmware version shown on the module label.
- Back up all axis machine data, traversing programs and host-controller data blocks.
- Match each axis encoder type, resolution, control mode and 16- or 32-byte DPR configuration.
