Hardware Encoder Interface

Introduction

The controller has a specific hardware encoder interface that can support:

oIncremental encoder

oSSI absolute encoder

Encoder function

The goal of this function is to connect an encoder to acquire a position so that it can be used as Master Axis for motion drives on CAN.

This function can be implemented on an Embedded Expert I/O interface and a hardware Encoder interface. The Encoder can be Incremental or absolute SSI on a hardware Encoder interface. The Embedded Expert I/O interface supports only an Incremental Encoder.

You can configure a linear or rotary axis for incremental encoder.
