When using EnDat or BiSS-C multi-turn absolute encoders with the IPA it may be helpful to reset the zero position to better align with the system mechanics.
To reset the absolute encoder position, move the motor to the desired location. Then, in the terminal, issue the command C62=0.
C62 can also be used to set to a non-zero position if that is more useful in your application. C62=12345 sets its current absolute position to 12345.
Beginning with firmware version 4.41, the user can also selected the range of the absolute position:
(assuming the standard multi-turn resolution of 4096)
C185=0 ......range will be -2047 to +2048 This is the default for backwards compatibility of previous Aries Controller applications. Note that the Aries Controller is obsolete and is not compatible with BiSS-C encoders.
C185=1 .....range will be 0 to 4096
