For how the mechanic is made, the absolute encoder can't cover the entire run that is 1200 mm but only 400 mm. Is it possible with some parameters solve this situation? Many thanks.

It can also be used to extend the position area. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781535 With S7-1500 PLC position trackink at the TO (Technologyobject) is possible, too. Choose encoder type "cyclic absolute".
