Zero Position Programming

Zero Position Programming is an OTP option that simplifies

assembly of a system, as the magnet does not need to be

manually adjusted to the mechanical zero position. Once

the assembly is completed, the mechanical and electrical

zero positions can be matched by software. Any position

within a full turn can be defined as the permanent new

index position.

For Zero Position Programming, the magnet is turned to

the mechanical zero position (e.g. the “off”-position of a

rotary switch) and an automatic zero position programming

is applied.

The zero position is programmed to an accuracy of +/-

0.35°.
