Encoder
If an incremental encoder is connected, you must also set the factor between the distance travelled and the
number of pulses from the encoder.
To determine this factor, either you must know the conveyor speed or you must move the conveyor belt over
a defined distance.
Determine the conversion factor as follows:

Select the known quantity and set the corresponding value.

Activate pulse measurement by pressing the Start button.

Move the conveyor belt by the set value.

Terminate the measurement using the Stop button.
Press the Test configuration button to check the current setting.
NOTE
All specifications during configuration refer to the forward motion of the conveyor belt. If
necessary, reverse the direction of rotation to allow the device to function correctly.
Make sure that Inputs 4 and 5 are set up correctly if you are using an encoder. If not,
operation of the device may be impaired.
