Encoder Setup
Chapter 9:
Encoder Setup
The Encoder Setup program is used to define encoder types and calibrate analog axis encoders. Each axis
can be configured independently to accept input counts from an analog or from a TTL encoder. Analog
encoders require calibration, TTL encoders do not.
NOTE
Only analog encoders must be calibrated.
WARNING
Confirm that power is not applied to the axis motors before proceeding to eliminate
the possibility of unexpected motor runaway.
TTL encoders
The only setup requirement for TTL encoders is the definition of encoder type. Axis motors do not require
operation for this task.
1 Launch the Encoder program and click
the desired Axis radio button, and then click
the TTL Axis Scale Type.
