7.4 Setting up a buffered encoder output
The Digitax ST has a buffered encoder output, which derives its position
from the drive encoder input.
The buffered encoder output is sourced from the drive encoder input and
can be any incremental type or any SINCOS type.
No output is available if EndAt only or SSI communications only
encoders are used
If a SINCOS is used as the source the buffered output is derived from
the zero crossings of the sine waves and does not include interpolated
information. The buffered encoder output provides an output with
minimal delay from the drive encoder input (maximum delay is 0.5 µs). If
the source encoder does not have a marker pulse then no marker pulse
can be obtained from the buffered encoder output.
This section shows the parameter settings required for the buffered
Encoder output.
Pr 3.54 selects the type of buffered encoder output as shown in Table 7-
5:
Table 7-5 Buffered encoder output type
The buffered encoder output can be scaled using Pr 3.52 as shown in
the table below:
