Encoder Counting Direction

Normally, the encoder signals will output sine-leads-cosine (AM leads BM) when
the linear encoder head is moving towards its cable, relative to the encoder scale.
SERCOS drives count this in a negative direction.

Set Up the Axis Properties

When installing a Sin/Cos linear encoder, setup the Axis Property tabs by doing
the following.

1.

Click the Motor Feedback tab.

2.

Enter the following parameters.
