CCW Electrical Angle Plot
Where:
EUA = Motor Encoder "U" Angle
If EUA is >360° subtract 360°.
Next, use the oscilloscope to examine the phase relationship between Z and V
angle at the rising edge Z. This is the Encoder Marker Electrical Angle.
Where:
EMA = Motor Encoder Marker Angle
If EMA is >360° subtract 360°.
Many encoders are designed so that the encoder marker pulse occurs a specified number of electrical degrees from the rising
edge of U. You could obtain this value from the encoder specification sheet however, to minimize errors in conversion, you
should make this measurement.
If you cannot obtain a stable angle measurement between U or Z and V
per revolution for your motors pole count.
CW Reference Rotation
If the reference motion for the encoder is CW (i.e., Encoder Reference Motion parameter will be set to 1), rotate the motor
in the CW direction. Using an oscilloscope, look at the phase relationship between the rising edge of U and negative peak of
