Encoder Setup
You must tell the readout something about the encoders. Select ENCODER
SETUP
from the Installation Setup list and enter the encoder number (the
number is defined by the input connector number on the back panel of the
readout).
The encoder number you selected is
shown at the top of the form.
R
ESOLUTION —first use the softkeys to select
between linear and angular movement.
Linear—move the corresponding machine axis
in a positive direction until the readout senses
and displays the resolution. You won’t have to
move more than two inches. For encoders
without Position-Trac, you need to enter the
resolution in microns (µm) directly.
Angular—For an encoder used to measure angular position, enter the number
of counts per revolution.
D
IRECTION
—you can change the count direction with the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE
softkeys.
