The velocity factor of the external feedback is used to convert that value from counts per millisecond into physical units.
Short form
<axis>.VExtFac
Syntax
<axis>.VelocityExternalFactor = <expression>
?<axis>.VExtFac
Availability

1
Scope
Configuration, Task or Terminal
Limitations
Cannot be changed while axis is enabled or while axis is set up as a master axis.
Examples
If the feedback resolution is 2000 counts, and you want to work in RPM, the VFAC is set as:
- Xaxis.vExtFac = 2000/60000
- Xaxis.vExtFac = 2000/60000
To work in revolutions per second, the VFAC must be set as:
- Xaxis.VExtFac = 2000/1000
