Selection of encoder type (Counter mode)
To ensure a correct acquisition of the counter value, you must first select the appropriate encoder type.
The connected encoder is selected via index 0x80n1:1D "Counter mode". Explanations of the supported encoder and signal types can be found in chapter "Supported Encoder / Signal Types"
Index (hex) | Name | Meaning |
---|---|---|
80n1:1D | Counter mode | Selecting the encoder |
0: Encoder RS422 (diff. input) | RS422 encoder without zero pulse | |
1: Counter RS422 (diff. input) | RS422 counter/pulse generator without zero pulse. | |
2: Encoder TTL (single-ended) | TTL encoder without zero pulse | |
3: Counter TTL (single-ended) | TTL counter/pulse generator without zero pulse. | |
4: Encoder open collector | Open collector encoder without zero pulse | |
5: Counter open collector | Open collector counter/pulse generator without zero pulse, |
In the following sections, settings 0, 2 and 4 are generally referred to as "encoder" and settings 1, 3 and 5 as "counter/pulse generator".
