Encoder Motion Functions

Introduction

The encoder Motion Functions tab allows you to configure specific elements, exclusively for motion applications.

NOTE: These Motion Functions must not be used with the M262Encoder library when check boxes for FeedbackAxis and/or EncoderScaling are enabled.

Configuring the Motion Functions

Step

Action

1

Double-click the encoder node in the Devices tree.

2

open the Motion Functions tab.

3

Enable check boxes for FeedbackAxis and/or EncoderScaling.

Result: The configuration parameters are displayed in the Incremental Encoder configuration tab or in the SSI Encoder configuration tab.
