Selecting the Number of PG (Encoder) Pulses
The setting for the number of PG pulses depends on the model of PG Speed Control Board being used. Set the correct number
for your model.
PG-A2/PG-B2
The maximum response frequency is 32,767Hz.
Use a PG that outputs a maximum frequency of approximately 20kHz for the rotational speed of the motor.
Some examples of PG output frequency (number of pulses) for the maximum frequency output are shown in Table 2.24.
A separate power supply is required if the PG power supply capacity is greater than 200mA. (If momentary power loss must
be handled, use a backup capacitor or other method). See Fig 2.24.
