Using the Quadrature Encoder
The Quadrature Encoder is used for determining direction of rotation and
position for rotating, such as a lathe. The Bidirectional Counter counts the
rotation of the Quadrature Encoder.
The figure below shows a quadrature encoder connected to inputs 0, 1,
and 2. The count direction is determined by the phase angle between A
and B. If A leads B, the counter increments. If B leads A, the counter
decrements.
The counter can be reset using the Z input. The Z outputs from the
encoders typically provide one pulse per revolution.
