2.3 Synchronous Encoder Axis
Synchronous encoder axis type
The following two types of synchronous encoders can be used as the synchronous encoder axis.
Refer to the following for the setting method for each synchronous encoder axis.
Page 58 Setting method for synchronous encoder
When using an incremental synchronous encoder, connect the encoder with the high-speed counter module,
then set "[Pr.320] Synchronous encoder axis type" to "201: Synchronous encoder via CPU".
Control method for synchronous encoder axis
The following controls can be executed for the synchronous encoder axis by using "[Cd.320] Synchronous encoder axis
control start" and "[Cd.321] Synchronous encoder axis control method".
Units for the synchronous encoder axis
The position units and speed units for the synchronous encoder axis are shown below for the setting of "[Pr.321] Synchronous
encoder axis unit setting".

Synchronous encoder axis type Details
Synchronous encoder via servo amplifier Used to use a synchronous encoder connected to the servo amplifier which supports the scale measurement
mode as a synchronous encoder axis.
Synchronous encoder via CPU Used to operate a gray code encoder that is connected to the input module of CPU module as a synchronous
encoder axis.

Control details
0: Current value change "[Md.320] Synchronous encoder axis position value" and "[Md.321] Synchronous encoder axis position value per
cycle" are changed based on the setting of "[Cd.322] Synchronous encoder axis position value setting address".
1: Counter disable Input from the synchronous encoder is disabled.
2: Counter enable Input from the synchronous encoder is enabled.
