Encoder Setup
The Encoder Setup form is used to set the encoder resolution, and
type (linear, rotary), count direction, reference mark type.
8 Press ENTER. This opens a list of possible encoder inputs.
8 Scroll to the encoder to be changed, and press ENTER.
8 Cursor will be in the Encoder Type field. Select the encoder type by
pressing the LINEAR/ROTARY soft key.
8 For linear encoders, cursor to the Resolution field and use the
COARSER, or FINER soft keys to select the encoder’s resolution (in
µm 10, 5, 2, 1, 0.5). The exact resolution can also be entered using
the numeric key pad. For rotary encoders, enter the number of
counts per revolution.
8 In the Reference Mark field, toggling the REF MARK soft key selects
whether the encoder has no reference signal with NONE, single
reference mark with the SINGLE or with the P-TRAC soft key for
encoders with the Position-Trac™ feature.
8 In the Count Direction field, select the count direction by pressing
the POSITIVE, or NEGATIVE soft key. If the encoder’s count
direction matches the user’s count direction, select positive. If the
directions do not match, select negative.
8 In the Error Monitor field, select whether the system will monitor,
and display encoder errors by selecting ON, or OFF. When an error
message occurs, press the C key to remove it.
The encoder resolution and count direction can also be
established by just moving each axis.
