Explanation of parameters

Signal type
You can select from the following signal types:
Signal type
Incremental encoder (A, B phase-
shifted)
Incremental encoder (A, B, N)
Pulse (A) and direction (B)
Pulse (A)
Count up (A), count down (B)
Invert direction
You can invert the counting direction to adapt it to the process.
The inverting of the direction is configurable and active for the following signal types:
• Incremental encoder (A, B phase-shifted)
• Incremental encoder (A, B, N)
Signal evaluation
With the parameter assignment of the signal evaluation, you specify which edges of the
signals are counted.
You can select from the following options:
Signal evaluation
Single
Double
Quadruple
The parameter can be assigned with the following signal types:
• Incremental encoder (A, B phase-shifted)
• Incremental encoder (A, B, N)

Meaning
An incremental encoder with phase-shifted A and B signals is
connected.
An incremental encoder with phase-shifted signals A and B
and a zero signal N is connected.
A pulse encoder (signal A) with direction signal (signal B) is
connected.
A pulse encoder (signal A) without direction signal is con-
nected.
Signals for counting up (signal A) and down (signal B) are
connected.
Meaning
The edges of signal A are evaluated during a low level of signal B.
Each edge of signal A is evaluated.
Each edge of signals A and B is evaluated.
