Simulated outputs (SM-Encoder Output Plus only)

The SM-Encoder Output Plus can provide simulated encoder output signals. The
source position is derived from either the encoder input on the module or from the drive
encoder input. The source encoder can be any incremental type or any sincos type of
encoder. If a sincos type is used as the source, the simulation output is derived from the
zero crossings of the sine waves and does not include interpolated information.
Quadrature outputs
Frequency and direction outputs
Forward and reverse outputs
Quadrature outputs with marker lock
Frequency and direction outputs with marker lock
If a mode with marker lock is selected the incremental position is shifted when the first
input marker occurs so that with quadrature mode the marker is aligned with A high and
B high, and with frequency and direction mode the marker is aligned with F high.
The SM-Encoder Output Plus provides the ability to scale down the simulated encoder
output signals.
