When higher demands are placed on the accuracy of the
length of the test part, you can connect a rotary-pulse gener-
ator to the connection marked ENCODER for ascertaining the
speed of the conveyor system (see chapter A.6 Accessories).
Operating system version ...E (operating system with encoder
evaluation) must be used for evaluating the encoder signals.
Check therefore the operating system version when you
switch on your Checkbox PLC (see chapter 2.4, Commission-
ing: switching on). Operating system ...E can be found in In-
ternet under the address www.festo.com (Business Area
Pneumatic, Checkbox). For modifications to the operating
system, please refer to your Festo Service.
