Incremental encoder output - A quad B (X5)

The incremental-encoder interface is part of the standard package. Select encoder function
ROD (A Quad B) Encoder ("Encoder" screen page). The servo amplifier calculates the motor
shaft position from the cyclic- absolute signals of the resolver or encoder, generating
incremental-encoder compatible pulses from this information. Pulse outputs on the SubD
connector X5 are 2 signals, A and B, with 90° phase difference (i.e. in quadrature, hence the
alternative term "A quad B" output), with a zero pulse.
The resolution (before multiplication) can be set by the RESOLUTION function:
Enc. function
(ENCMODE)
ROD (1)
ROD
interpolation (3)
Use the NI-OFFSET parameter to adjust + save the zero pulse position within one mechanical
turn. The drivers operate off an internal supply voltage. The maximum permissible cable
length is 100 meters.
