3.5.2 Reference system 
The reference system provides the link between the electrical system and the me-
chanical system. In parameter 
Feed Constant 1115, the user units (u) per revolution 
(U) are entered. By choosing a suitable parameter configuration, the feed constant 
can consider both the mechanical motion distance and the accuracy (resolution) (see 
example). 
Via 
Gear Box: Driving shaft revolutions 1116 and Gear Box: Motor shaft revolu-
tions
1117, it is possible to consider the transmission ratio of a gearbox. 
The terms Gear Box: Driving shaft revolutions 1116 and Gear Box: Motor shaft 
revolutions
1117 are used in compliance with CANopen Standard CiA402 Device 
Profile Drives and Motion Control.

Maximum motion distance 
The internal representation of position values is limited to ±2

-1 increments, re-
ferred to a resolution of 2

 increments/revolution. The maximum motion distance

 depends on the settings of parameters Feed Constant 1115, Gear Box: Driving 
shaft revolutions 
1116 and Gear Box: Motor shaft revolutions1117. At a higher 
accuracy of the feed constant and gear factor, the maximum motion distance is re-
duced.
