Setting the Encoder Trigger [Encoder Trigger Setting]

  1. On the Main screen, tap the [System] menu - [Controller] - [Encoder trigger setting].
  2. Set the target encoder.
    Encoder trigger setting
    Setting item
    Set value
    [Factory default]
    Description
    Use Encoder trigger
    • Checked
    • [Unchecked]
    Sets whether the encoder trigger will be used.
    The maximum input frequency of the encoder trigger is 20 kHz.
    Resolution
    [1] to 65535
    Sets how many pulses equal one rotation. Please set according to the resolution of the encoder.
    Count rotations with pulse Z
    • Checked
    • [Unchecked]
    When on, judges whether it made a full rotation with pulse Z. When off, judges whether it made a full rotation based on whether phase A pulse input reaches phase A resolution.
  3. Set the trigger detailed settings as required.
    Encoder trigger setting
    Setting item
    Set value
    [Factory default]
    Description
    Trigger signal
    • [Phase A]
    • Phase Z
    Sets the phase to be used as the trigger signal.
    When phase A
    Enable timing
    • [ENABLE start]
    • STEP start
    Sets the timing for starting the pulse count.
    ENABLE start: Counts the pulses input during the measurement trigger receipt period.
    STEP start: Does not count pulses even during the measurement trigger receipt period until the STEP signal is input.
    Pulse reset timing
    • [Every trigger pulse]
    • Every rotation (Pulse Z)
    Sets the timing for resetting.
    When it is every rotation, multiple settings for phase A are possible.
    Pulse A
    [0] to 65536
    Sets how many pulses it takes for the trigger to be produced.
    Support backlashing
    • [Checked]
    • Unchecked
    Sets whether the rotation direction is detected.
    Trigger in backlashing
    • Checked
    • [Unchecked]
    Sets whether a trigger is produced during reverse rotation.
    When phase Z
    Enable timing
    • [ENABLE start]
    • STEP start
    Sets the timing for starting the pulse count.
    ENABLE start: Counts the pulses input during the measurement trigger receipt period.
    STEP start: Does not count pulses even during the measurement trigger receipt period until the STEP signal is input.
    Pulse reset timing
    • [Every trigger pulse]
    Sets the timing for resetting.
    Pulse Z
    [0] to 1023
    Sets how many pulses it takes for the trigger to be produced.
Important
  • The encoder trigger setting is disabled in the FZ3-L35Icon series.
