7.2.3.2 Normalization
The purpose of normalization is to establish the relationship between
the mechanical (e.g. mm) and electronic (LU) representation.
In positioning, the path dimension unit is called a LENGTH
UNIT LU.
This means that LU can be mm, inches, degrees, etc.
LU = LENGTH UNIT is a neutral length dimension.

Fig. 7-7 Typical positioning application
The arrangement shown in Fig. 7-7.
The factory setting values are pure motor-related normalizations.
Example:
Encoder: 131 072 pulses per motor revolution [resolution in 2
n
(n = 17)]
with a gearbox having 1:10.00 ratio (i), this gearbox factor must be
included in the calculation.
131072 x 10 = 1 310 720 pulses per roller revolution
The diameter of the drive roller (d) is 300.000 mm
mm 942.4771415.3mm 300dx
=π×=
The following is to be represented: 1LU = 1 µm
The circumference of the roller (x) is therefore 942477 LU.
