Absolute Encoder Scaling

[James WhiteParticipantKarma: 19Rank: Padawan]

I have a Sick wire draw absolute encoder  (Part # BCG13-I1BM0599) The given information that I have is as follows:

– Wire Draw Absolute Encoder (wire draw mechanism and encoder together) – .001 resolution

– Encoder Total Resolution – 1073741824 counts

– Counts per revolution – 262144

– Max pull out length – 5.2 meters

I need to scale this down to a span of 0-150 inches. If you have any advice, I would very much appreciate it as I am at my wits end. Thanks.

5.2 meters in 204.724 inches

150/204.724 * 1073741824 counts = 786,723,948.34 counts = 150 inches
