Specify the signal type, encoder resolution, and direction for the encoder being configured. Verify
that the encoder displacement and direction of travel are correct using some know standard of
size and observing the major directions for part coordinates relative to the measuring image of
the system.
(X)Axes Menu Description
Label Press Enter to specify a new single character Axes Label for the selected axis.
Encoder Resolution
Press Enter to display the encoder resolution entry field for the selected axis.
Enter the desired encoder resolution and press “OK” to confirm.
Units
Select the IN or MM softkey to specify the Unit type for the entered encoder
resolution(specified above).
(Signal)Type
Select the softkey for the encoder type you are interfacing to the Mx200.
-TTL/1VPP/11uA/Nikon/Mitutoyo
Interpolation
Select the softkey that corresponds to the desired Interpolation Factor for
your Analog encoder. Consult the encoder specification for information on
what Resolution and Interpolation combination to use. The Mx200 supports
1X, 5X, 10X and 16X Interpolations Settings.
Reversed
Select the Yes or No softkey to invert the counting direction of your encoder.
To reverse the direction from “current”, simply invert the Yes/No settings.
Startup Zero
Select the desired Startup Zeroing method based on the encoder reference
mark technology and machine configuration requirements for the
installation.
-None/Hardstop/One Ref/2 Ref(Distance Encoded)
Ref Mark Direction
Select the Positive or Negative Pulse softkey to invert the reference mark
active state for detection. To reverse the direction from “current”, simply
invert the Positive/Negative settings.
