absolute encoder in Twincat 3

4 posts in this topic

Hi,

I have an absolute encoder as attached here, and I found a manual in the net with the specifications on the encoder (I am not sure if that is what I have though). I am new to the motion control world and do not really know how to use the encoder. I know that there should a relationship between each pulse  of the encoder and how many mm it corresponds to. Can anyone help me how to figure it out?

thanks for the link, but i'm not sure that answers my question. I guess I need to find out what each number in 8192x4096 is. Is 4096, for example, the number of pulses per 360 degrees?

does that pdf I attached say anything each pulse metric value? or is it the right manual for this encoder?

If you use it in both directions it 4096, if you use it one direction it is 8192. 0 represent 0 degrees and 4096(8192) represent 360 degrees... But you need SSI interface in order to connect to encoder.
