Incremental Encoder Output User Function

Introduction

Incremental Encoder Output is a specific user function that is supported by the device variants “Advanced Plus” and “Application defined” of the Lexium LXM62 Drive / Lexium LXM62 Linear Drive.

The device provides an incremental encoder output which can be used with the motor encoder or the machine encoder. Depending on the selected operation mode, the motor encoder or the machine encoder of the drive is mirrored to the encoder output. That means, either the encoder output signal is based on the motor encoder input signal or on the machine encoder input signal. The operation mode is set with the IncrementalEncoderOutputMode parameter.

Enabling the Incremental Encoder Output

To enable the incremental encoder output, proceed as follows:

Step	Action
1	Double-click the device in the Devices tree.
2	In the Feature Configuration tab of the device editor, select Application defined / 0, or Advanced Plus / 3 in the Device Variant list.
3	Select the Incremental Encoder Output check box.
