Incremental encoder mode

In incremental encoder mode, the CX7000 can be configured as an interface for direct connection of 24 V incremental encoders. A quadruple evaluation is used and both high level and low level are detected at input 1 and input 2.

Incremental encoder mode 1:
Configurable inputs and outputs in incremental encoder mode.

The range of functions in encoder mode corresponds to the range of functions in counter mode. In addition, the counter value at input 3 can be latched, i.e. the value is entered in the process data on a high level at input 3. Alternatively, the counter can be reset on a high level at input 3.

In addition, output 1 can be switched depending on the counter value. Output 2 can be switched from the PLC. This allows fast control signals for field devices to be used and switched.
