Servus Uwe,
at the moment i'm dedicated to learning for my exams next month, unfortunately i don't have the time right now, to revisit that topic. Eventually i will test that in august.
Personaly i would guess, the encoder has a resolution of 0.1 degree, so the pos-scale variable is just the maximum value, the encoder can reach.
For the second question, i'm not using the standard CiA402 XML-mapping, but i use the exact same syntax for all variables. I'm not entirely sure, why i went with that solution back in the day (i suspect, because i wanted to map the inputs/outputs of the drive too, which is not possible with the basic_402 defintion) and i do also not know, whether the basic_402 part of the XML file worked. As i said, eventually i will revisit that topic in late july or august.
Best Regards
Patrick
