8-10-2 Pulse Output Method
The Pulse Output Unit has two pulse output methods that you can select based on the motor that you
use.
Use the Pulse Output Method parameter to change the pulse output.
The number of pulses that are output is counted inside the Pulse Output Unit. This value can be moni-
tored by the Controller as the command current position. The command current position is counted by a
signed, 32-bit ring counter.
