Encoder Emulation - Pilz PMCprimo MC Operating Manual

Function description
The following encoders are supported:
Incremental encoder with TTL signal
}
Absolute encoder with SSI interface
}
The supply voltages of the encoders are connected to separate terminals of the device
X40a/Pin 2 and Pin 4 for encoder at X41
}
X50a/X50b/Pin 2 and Pin 4 combined for encoders at X55 and X56
}
The size of the voltage depends on the encoder (e.g. 5 V, 10 - 30 VDC).

Encoder emulation

The encoder connection X41 can be used as an output, see
4.1.7 Encoder emulation
Prerequisite: Motion Controller from Firmware version 0305 (see
To interconnect motion controllers and to be able to synchronise the position, the encoder
input X41 can be used as an output. The output emulates the behaviour of a relative incre-
mental encoder and it works as a virtual axis.
For each increment, the virtual axis moves and the A/B signal changes. So the relative pos-
ition of a motion controller (master) to another motion controller (slave) can be communic-
ated.
Further information on the encoder emulation can be found in the chapter
details. [
Software settings are required (see PMCprimo programming manual) to activate this
function:
Using the software tool CODESYS: In the function block "SetFeedbackEncoder"
}
Using the software tool PASmotion with command language: FS 37

CAUTION!
Risk of material damage by applying the supply voltage
Do not connect the supply voltage for the encoder when the encoder input
is used in emulation mode (as an output).
