Setting Of Specific Parameters; Number Of Pulses; Direction Of Rotation; Zero Pulse Readout - Baumer ENCODERmaster User Manual

5.1

Setting of specific parameters

The parameter values in the Parameters block are active in the encoder at any time. If a value is changed
with the pull-down menu this parameter is loaded onto the encoder simultaneously.
5.1.1

Number of pulses

The number of pulses per rotation can be chosen with the pull-down menu.
5.1.2

Direction of rotation

The pull-down menu Direction of rotation defines the chronological order of the A and B signals. As a default
channel A precedes channel B by a ¼ period if the encoder turns counterclockwise (looking onto the shaft).
5.1.3

Zero pulse readout

The zero pulse readout can be set by using the pull-down menu according to the figure 11 below.
Channel A
Channel B

5.3

Connect new encoder

Encoders can be exchanged while the adapter is running. Please note that the recognition of a new encoder
might last up to 10 seconds. If an encoder is not identified correctly all values are invisible and the red
indicator Communication lights up on the left side of the button Factory settings.
