QC5200 encoder setup

Most encoder setup activities were completed using

the Encoder Setup program. The remaining encoder

setup tasks must be performed using the QC5200

program.

1 Confirm that the power is not applied to axis mo-

tors.

2 Launch the QC5200 program, and then click the

Tools/Options/Encoders tab to display the Encoder

Setup screen.

Use the encoder screen to specify encoder resolution,

units of measure, count direction and reference mark

type.

Specifying encoder resolution

Enter the resolution specification of the encoders used with your system into the X, Y and Z Resolution

fields.

Specifying encoder unit of measure

Check the mm box for metric encoders, or clear the mm box for encoder output values in inches.

Specifying encoder count direction

Check or clear the reverse boxes to achieve the desired DRO count directions.

Specifying encoder reference marks

Highlight the desired reference mark type in the drop-down lists, and then clear the TTL Ref box for analog

reference marks.
