Glossary FP∑ Positioning Unit
Transfer multiple
With the FP∑ positioning unit, this can be specified when the pulser operation function is used.
Outputting the number of pulses doubled by the number of pulser input signals, the transfer multiple
is said to be "2", and when the number of pulses is five times that of the pulser input signals, the
transfer multiple is said to be "5".
Example: Transfer multiple function of the FP positioning unit pulser input
Feedback pulse input
This counts the feedback pulse from the encoder. 2-phase input, direction distinction input and
individual input can be handled.
2-phase input method
This counts the signal of 2 pulses in the different phase (A phase, B phase). When A phase
preceeds B phase, the motor is rotated clockwise (count increment) and when B phase preceeds A
phase, the motor is rotated counter-clockwise (count decrement).
Direction distinction input method
This is a method to count using ON/OFF signal specifying the pulse signal and count direction.
Individual input method
This is a method to count using the count increment pulse signal and the count decrement pulse
signal.
